Moringa: the Miracle food you just read about.

in #health7 years ago (edited)

I got introduced to Moringa a few years back.  I had heard of it but didn't really know what the fuss was about. I thought it was like wheatgrass or something, only a bit better.  Boy was I wrong.  This wasn't just another green powder.  this was a Miracle Tree that had more to offer than this post will allow.

so let's see some of the news:

We learn something new everyday, eh? thanks for your comment @geo-geo !

Here is another article where the author describes it more https://www.dailydetoxhacks.com/moringa-leaf-powder-benefits/

Sounds great, thanks for sharing!

most welcome @sacka ! Glad you Enjoyed!

Never heard of this before, have to watch the videos when I get home from work.

It's pretty amazing. It's so high in Vitamin A it cures blindness from malnutrition. The post is meant to be a long-form sit-back-and-have a coffee type post. I'm not too interested in just making short candies if I can actually feed someone. Hope you enjoy @aboutyourbiz !

Definitely something I want to look into more

Woah this plant is amazing! Where can we get it in the US? Maybe online?

@jaymorebeet there is a link at the bottom, you want the USA one for Organic India... otherwise, Google away, I just know the company well and they are organic and ethical. But it is cheaper in India. If you got bulk from the first distributor (Auroville) you could sell Moringa on Steemit to other Steemians in the USA. Just a thought. @ecoknowme

Woah that sounds like an interesting idea....Going to get googling! Thanks so much @ecoknowme!
