Moringa in the News



"in the tropics, moringa is easily propagated from cuttings, but here, seeds are more reliable. Look for seeds with the three wing-like flaps still intact. Wait till spring or early summer, soak them overnight and plant them in a perlite-peat moss mixture, keeping them dark and warm. A 10-inch seedling can become a 4-foot sapling in a few months, covered with edible leaves. The pods ripen in fall, just in time for Thanksgiving -- a drumstick that works as a side dish."
