It is worth looking closely at what is actually in the foods we reach for. Moringa is one we get asked about constantly, so here is a straight account of its nutritional profile and how to work it into a normal week.
What is Moringa? Moringa oleifera, known as the "Miracle Tree," originates from Africa and Asia. Nearly every part of the plant is used, with the leaves prized for their nutrient density. The leaf is where our teas and powders come from.
Nutritional Profile of Moringa Here's a snapshot of what the leaf contributes:
- Vitamins and Minerals: Moringa leaves are rich in essential vitamins such as A, C, and E, alongside significant amounts of calcium, potassium, and iron.
- Protein: As a plant-based source of protein, moringa contains all nine essential amino acids.
- Antioxidants: Moringa contains antioxidant compounds including quercetin and chlorogenic acid.
- Isothiocyanates and polyphenols: These are the compounds researchers are most actively studying in moringa leaf. What they do in people is not yet settled, and we would rather say that than overstate it.
Where Moringa Fits in a Diet Moringa leaf is a food, not a treatment. Where it earns its place is as a nutrient-dense addition to a varied diet:
- Vitamin C: Contributes to normal immune function and to normal collagen formation for healthy skin.
- Iron: Contributes to normal oxygen transport and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Calcium and potassium: Contribute to normal muscle function; potassium also contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.
- Fibre: Moringa leaf contains dietary fibre, which contributes to normal digestive function as part of an overall pattern of eating.
- Vitamin A: Contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and normal skin.
