Remarkable Moringa

The Karawa hospital is using dried moringa leaf powder to help patients, mostly children, suffering from malnutrition. The moringa oleifera leaves are very rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. The dried leaves have protein content 16 times that of milk, iron content 3 times that of spinach, potassium content 15 times that of bananas, calcium content 8 times that of milk and vitamin A content 10 times that of carrots. WOW.

Marta planting Moringa

Marta Klein is becoming known as the moringa lady. She was given the Ngbaka name “Demomo” which means “good, pretty” saying “she has brought something good into our lives.” Marta has been working with two other people in the nutrition department of the hospital teaching them how to harvest the moringa leaves, dry them in the sun and pound them into dried powder.

Drying and pounding Moringa leaves

At the hospital they teach the mothers of the malnourished children in the pediatrics ward how to add 1 teaspoon of this leaf powder to the children’s food twice a day. Since most mothers do not have teaspoons, they use their fingers to add 8 pinchfuls to equal 1 teaspoon. Creative. The results are very encouraging.

Cindy planted 100 moringa seeds behind the Noren’s house while we were living at Karawa in March. 65 seeds germinated. Later she went with Marta and the nutrition team to plant 15 of these young trees at the Bokpasi Health Center, about 1 mile from the hospital. The other 50 trees were planted in a garden near the hospital.

Growing Moringa - seedlings ready to be transplanted

Cindy has accompanied the nutrition team for several visits to the Bokpasi Health Center where they taught the nurses and health agents about good nutrition and how to use moringa in cases of severe malnutrition. It was encouraging to hear last week that the head nurse Justin was already teaching what he had just learned to other people in the village. This involves growing a variety of plants and trees in their gardens, eating a balanced diet and making sure that pregnant mothers and young children eat enough protein and nutritious calories every day. Moringa is great as a short-term boost to those suffering from malnutrition, but the long term answer is knowing about good nutrition and eating a balanced diet.

Dr Oz - Moringa

On today’s Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz talked about foods, drinks and supplements you can take to energize your day. He called it the “Re-Energize Your Life: 5 Ways to Kick-Start Your Day” show. Now one supplement he talked about to help give you a boost of energy is Moringa Oleifera, which is an energy blaster.

Dr. Oz, What is Moringa Oleifera?

The leaves of the moringa oleifera tree, native to the Himalayan mountains in northwestern India, are extremely nutrient-dense. They contain 3 times more iron than spinach and are loaded with tons of other vitamins including vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium and potassium, as well as powerful antioxidants.

Dr Oz Moringa Oleifera Directions / Dosage

To benefit from Moringa Oleifera, take 400mg daily of it. You can also try moringa oleifera tea, a great alternative to caffeinated beverages.

Moringa Oleifera Benefits

Moringa Oleifera Side Effects

There isn’t enough information to know if Moringa Oleifera is safe when used in medicinal amounts.   Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It’s UNSAFE to use Moringa Oleifera if you are pregnant. Chemicals in the root, bark, and flowers can make the uterus contract, and this might cause a miscarriage.

Moringa's Hope

An update from The Peace and Hope Trust on the progress of the Moringa Project in Nicaragua

62 new plant species recorded in Nagarparkar

"KARACHI, April 8: More than 60 plant species have been scientifically recorded for the first time in Nagarparkar in a recent study conducted at Karachi University’s botany department."

"The Moringa concanense, a plant used for the treatment of arthritis, glandular inflammation and ulcer and skin diseases in Indian literature, is one such example. Other species vanishing from the region include climbers, such as Telosma cordata, which was found as a single plant spreading over Acacia senegal on the hills."

Moringa in Cambodia

Moringa Project from Compassion and Mercy Associates on Vimeo.

In Cambodia and many West African countries, CAMA workers are introducing the Moringa tree, which provides an economical source of nutrition and healing. No other plant provides such a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, rebuilding weak bones, reducing high blood pressure and even helping in the fight against AIDS by boosting the immune system.

Moringa For Cattle

“With moringa leaves constituting 40 to 50 percent of feed, milk yields for dairy cows and daily weight gains for beef cattle was shown to increase by 30 percent. Birth weight, averaging 22 kilograms for some cattle breeds, increased by three to five kgs,” 

Moringa Biofuels

"Biodiesel was prepared from M. oleifera oil by alkali-catalyzed

transesterification with methanol after acid pre-treatment. Fuel

properties such as cetane number, kinematic viscosity, oxidative

stability and others were determined. The most conspicuous prop-

erty of biodiesel derived from M. oleifera oil is the high cetane

number of approximately 67, which is among the highest reported

for a biodiesel fuel. The oxidative stability of M. oleifera based bio-

diesel fuel is also enhanced compared to other biodiesel fuels,

although the cloud point is rather high. Thus, biodiesel derived

from M. oleifera oil is an acceptable substitute for petrodiesel, also

when compared to biodiesel fuels derived from other vegetable

oils."

Malunggay Pancake - Moringa Pancake

"Malunggay Pancake

Ingredients:

1 pack of maya pancake
1 cup fresh malunggay leaves, chopped
Follow instruction in the packaging.
Add malunggay right before cooking.

Directions:

HERE is the secret to have a palatable pancake; no taste of malunggay and no smell of leaves:

Mix your old pancake recipe in a separate container. You can have any kind of the usual pancake mixture. Have your own way.

Chop fresh malunggay leaves, then set aside on a separate container.

DO NOT MIX MALUNGGAY AND PANCAKE MIXTURE IMMEDIATELY.

Prepare for cooking. You can only mix the pancake mixture and malunggay leaves when you are about to cook. This will prevent the pancake from the unpleasant smell of the leaves.Do not soak malunggay leaves to pancake mixture for more than 30 minutes to preserve the vanilla flavor of your pancake."

Moringa in the News

L.A. Times Link

"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."

Field of Dreams

"Moringa seeds develop inside long pods produced by the moringa oleifera tree. These pods can reach a massive two feet in length, resulting in the moringa tree's common nickname in India as the 'drumstick tree'. Full of nutrients and easily digested, the moringa seed pods are harvested and eaten in a variety of ways. Immature seed pods are often steamed like green beans and served as a vegetable dish. Matured pods are harvested and shelled for their seeds, much like beans or peas. These mature moringa seeds are then steamed as a table vegetable or roasted for a nutritious snack. "
