How to Dry Moringa and Make Green Powder - A New Raw Super Food

[@OneLimitlessHuman]

Great video thank you very much! Today I purchased 10 Moringa trees and planted them and can't tell you how excited I am. I'm also looking to getting an Oil Extractor to get the Moringa Oil out of the seeds. Cheers!

[@sonsofbabylon]

Hi John, great video and info about the Moringa. I just started growing this plant in Merida (Mexico) and invested in the UV light system to sanitize it without heat. Thanks a lot for your help.

[@maxezragreenberg]

Love the stuff! My friend has a huge moringa tree in his back yard, so lately I've been making them a big part of my daily green juice! Thanks for all the awesome videos John, You're the best!

[@Deadseamoringa]

Moringa's health properties make it one of the most nutritionally valuable plants in the world!

[@noahjuanjuneau9598]

Just personally ‘discovered’ Moringa (Daun Kelor) recently and have been fascinated by all the benefits and how common it is - in some parts of the world - notably the tropics - and have been incorporating it into my diet more and more as opportunities present themselves. I love it. Great taste and I ‘feel’ better. (Placebo effect probably) Yesterday I found a resto on the beach that had both steamed Daun Kelor AND Kelor smoothies on the menu so I ordered both! In fact I had two Kelor smoothies! The smoothy was made with Kelor, banana, lime, and a bit of liquid jaggery. (Location: I’m on the western coast of the island of Lombok in the Indonesian Archipelago - where Moringa grows everywhere and is a wild indigenous plant.)

[@carolianas]

I do agree with you, MsLaburn, that John's way of taking the dehydrated leaves with his bare hands and putting it in a paperbag form who knows how clean it was is a no-no. I like his dehydrator being able to keep the leaves green in color. The simple way of airdrying it in the shade, at room temperature and in a screened room(protect it from bugs and flies) is what makes the leaves dark. This is the natural way of drying it and no artificial intervention.

[@michellecastillo8262]

Ive got about 10 trees in my backyard, so good for you!

[@russelljohnson805]

Hi Michelle, That's a lot of Moringa! How do you cook it? We often eat it as a side with rice and whatever, but my favorite is a moringa broth made with chicken stock and pearl onions.

[@evelisegomes907]

Very nice video, I am just learning about Moringa and I will make an effort to plant on in my back yard in Cabo Verde Island and use it as often as I can. Good job. thanks. Any advice on how to make the tea?

[@stephenshrubsall9204]

The uv light sounds good i have one i use in my business that i will use thanks for the cool idea

[@Jezebel1115]

Wow, I just heard of Moringa being a "Super Slim Down" food on The View last week, and this video was made over 2 years old. John you really know your stuff. Thanks for the very informative video! Peace out, Michelle

[@TheLeyaKa]

thank you JOhn for this very informative video on moringa, exactly what I needed. I start to grow it now and hopefully will be making my own soon.

[@sodamom7568]

Thank you. Easy to understand you. And well presented.

[@gloriaiarango]

Hey John! I live in New York. do you think that morinda could be a good plant to grow here? I'd like to have this plant in my yard! Thanks you are a real good man...

[@anamarieamenfombuena685]

Moringa become famous when many Filipino migrate in around the world. Filipino share to other citizens that the MALUNGAY/MALUNGGAY/MORINGA CAN BE A GOOD VIAND OR ULAM, we know that medicinal but only in the Philippines The Malungay is food. All the ancient tribes in the Philippines used it as medicine and ulam down these Generation. It is good dish pas for me Chicken Moringa in coconut milk, its yummy promise try it, it is my favorite dish we call it Ginataang Manok sa Malungay. Tinolang Manok with Malungay. Thank you Sir . More power.

[@dostuffwithniki6250]

sorry to say this time around John is making a generalization about one taste from that tree that is NOT true. here in Florida these trees grow everywhere. I have a Moringa O. tree and the leave are tender milder tasting than spinach and not bitter at all so please dont be discouraged from eating them just because he says one particular kind seems bitter to him. this has a beautiful light spinach like taste and yes the tree hes standing in front of does not look like the beautiful tasting oleifera we have down here. i highly encourage you to eat these raw, or throw bunch of handfuls into your omelette in the morning. its amazing! even throw them in the juicer. and you dont need expensive dehydrator to dry these. clean them, throw them on your counter spaced apart, they will be dry in a mere few days, no effort :) then powder them in your coffee grinder. simple as that

[@dewesh28]

Do Stuff with Niki! Dear you are right and He is also right. There is one form of this plant which has. A bit bitter taste leaves and bitter drumsticks These leaves are used for feeding. Cattle which is very much useful for cattle. The seeds & fruits(beans) of Iit used for medicines

[@debibarrington8348]

I live in crystal river fl and had a small tree and for 2 winters it would get hit by freeze ..how do u protect yours from this

[@lothre]

You can strip the leaves much easier if you dehydrate them while still on the branches. Also, while you are dehydrating them on the branches, the branches themselves are still supplying small amounts of nutrients to the leaves that they would otherwise not be getting if you pull them off before dehydrating.

[@safuan2009]

Just bought 2 moringa seedlings because of your videos and also My grandma once used the leaves instead of more eggs when we cannot afford eggs for everybody back in the day. i guess this is how my grand parents survived WW2. it basically grow on salty tropical sand and fertilised by naturally occurring microorganism breaking down waste water. (Kacang kelur)

[@mickblue768]

When it is powder form how much do you add for a tea drink i have 3 trees growing at the moment my wife is Filipino and she uses it in soups

[@carter102]

The blendtec does a great job powdering herbs! I had a heck of a time getting galangal herb to powder with coffee grinders, so I tossed it in the blendtec, 10 minutes later it was wonderful!

[@2BStray]

can we share our information? you'r the best sight so far,because i prefer the dehydrator.

[@Iamjohnsv]

Got a 6 foot tree that will go into my greenhouse this winter. See how that works. Got a whole bag of seeds for $5 which included postage. Can't wait to get some going. Think my solar dehydrator is a little too hot for this..it hits 238 and was actually built to distill water. Great video..Thanks.

[@maloumanacop6298]

It's commonly used in cooking like spinach on soups mostly. It's very healthy and tastes so good. Filipinos love it! We call it Malunggay.

[@livefreeallways]

Hey, thanks for directing me to this video. In Hawaii we have the fresh leaves at the farmer's market.

[@suepakes9256]

Tell me about using UV on the plants after picking them to clean it, I would like more detail of how you do this please.

[@truthjoypeace]

Thank you for your lovely videos..learnt so much from them.

[@russelljohnson805]

We have 4 Moringa trees that we grew from cuttings. They grow extremely fast here in Southern California, 4 - 8 inches a week, once you put them in the ground. We eat the freshly picked leaves and the pods all the time. The leaves boiled in 1/2 water and 1/2 chicken stock makes a wonderful green vegetable. We add onions, too. If the leaves are very dark, that just means they had been on the tree a long time. The new growth leaves are light green. I think the lighter colored leaves taste better. Moringa leaves freeze well too if you squeeze as much air as possible out of the freezer bag. They have a long freezer life.

[@VicToria-sd1dn]

Very informative video, well executed. Thank you.

[@youkie8000]

Hello.. There are so many moringa in the Philippines,I am so interested to have moringa leaves dryer like yours.

[@Happygreenmarket]

Hi John, i need to buy 1 dry vegetables machine for myself at home. please recommend which brand is good to use. I need online shopping because i'm living in VietNam . Thank you. Yuki

[@judycordice7771]

What do you mean by the leaves " will store up to 1 year before it should be used?" In my country, we go outside pick the leaves and make tea

[@cherylmodeste2918]

thanks so much for sharing!! i just wish those dehydrators or high power blenders weren't as expensive!

[@bayumartawardaya]

very interesting... good stuff.... many thanks

[@charliebecker4417]

I use just a wire strainer and by hand rub the dry leaves through so not to cause oxidation from a high powerd blender. I buy from Asian markets and it's not expensive. Also I don't make too much so to use after 1 or 2 months to ensure potency. Thanks for everything John I watch a lot of your videos. 👍

[@COYOTE165A]

Where is being done at,? May I ask,? In the USA,? Or Abroad etc.? Thanks for sharing very interesting etc. Now in 2019 I just learned about Moringa 's Health Benefits etc.

[@antoniogriffin7135]

What’s the beat place to get it from, until I can grow it.

WoW! Great to find you again, John...I'll be growing a plant pretty soon...YeS!!!! :)

[@gregson99]

Fresh leaves are absolutely full of un-touched goodness and holds 4 times the amount of chlorophyll than wheat-grass.

[@conradheinlein8495]

Good technique. Like kale chop up the moriga first then rise it with a sieve or strainer. That takes away some of the worst bitter.

[@ishumawji3438]

I take my moringa powder in warm water, all I do is take 100gms @ of turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, keep that in a break fast table, n mix a teaspoon of it in warm water along with a tsp of moringa n honey, n have it at breakfast time, really amazing

Hey great video!I am wondering were in Cali I can grow this and what kind of atmosphere it enjoys? Also how hot do u think the moringa gets when blending? I was thinking maybe there is another way like stone grinding before consuming? Thanks so much! Heather

[@loveisnow2]

Hi John, You said a lot about the dehydration process but not much about the plants properties and benefits. I have never heard of it before and am interested in its raw values. Thanks~ ha guess I can just google it.

[@hawaiidoves]

John, do you have a particular company that you would recommend for buying quality moringa, that hasn't been blanched?

[@growingyourgreens]

Morninga is a tropical tree. You may be able to grow it outside in the summer, but you must move it inside in the winter.

[@recon0311b]

Energy can not be destroyed only redirected. Fact of science truth. Raw, not Raw still get what you need from the source.

[@IamJustinM]

I've tried this, but the small leaves make it a real painful process. But the end product is an amazing glowing green juice that has almost an oily texture to it. And when I say glowing, I mean GLOWING! It's unlike anything I've ever seen. Next to wheat grass the Moringa looks like it's from another planet. It's quite amazing.

[@sarasmaharaj3902]

I love moringa. It's so hard to get in Sydney. I fry with onion and garlic.

[@carolianas]

Both are the same as what I've read. Just that the dried moringa is more accessible being you can just pick a bottle of it at the store. Unless you live where it is grown. Here in Southern California or in Florida, you can grow them. The dried ones can also be sprinkled into any soup, salad or dish, specially in powdered form.

[@BROOKLYNSTACE]

Where can I get the best raw Moringa powder ?

[@thekidks]

I'm on your other channel can u make more of this type video thanks seeds & other stuff ty one of best way grow it from seed thanks

[@beaumontmuni961]

Great Vid ... by the way, Moringa is a great addition to lentil soups (East Indian Dal dishes) including the long pods known as drumstick. It is not just medicinal, it is used in East Indian cooking and adds a good body of flavor to the food. Yes it is is bitter when raw, but when cooked it tastes great. I've eaten it growing up. Thanks for sharing.

[@tony5794-n4w]

Hello, John. My goal is to dry the moringa leaves and put them into capsules. So, can I dry the moringa leaves naturally, without using any mechanical process? Do they dry enough to remove all the moisture content in the leaves? Let me explain first, that we started a moringa farm in the Philippines and we are growing about 2000 trees. We just have had our first harvest. We have built 4x4x8 metal sheds where we hang the pods for natural dry. After about 3 to 5 days the leaves start falling into a net, we let them dry for another week and then process the leaves into powder and finally we encapsulate them. The temperature inside the sheds gets to 34C in the afternoon and, technically, we don't have winter here. We are concerned about the temperature variation between day and night, the air humidity interfering on the drying process and the time of leaves exposure to the outside. Our intention is to keep all-natural since we do not use any chemical, pesticides, and/or fertilizer, other than the moringa harvest leftover. We drink the same water we give to our trees and the air is pure since we are on the edge of the pacific ocean. We are trying not to use commercial dehydrator or stoves to dry our moringa but I have some concerns. Any help will very much appreciate my friend. We love your videos always. Thank you so much...

[@kigoziedith1077]

Can u please send me some ready moringa iam from Uganda East africa

[@siminthesky]

At the plantages on hawai they do not take down the branches..but bend them and pluk the leaves

[@henryph8120]

"Tinolang manok" with moringa looks and tastes very delicious. My mother always cook it for us. However, I'm concerned about the cooking process. The moringa along with the chicken are left to boil for a few minutes. Will there still be nutrients left?

[@DD-OO]

Would a good vinegar wash be a good idea before consuming raw? And how long does it keep raw in refrigerator?

[@sonnyberry711]

Great natural food. Chopping down a tree is destructive and unnecessary. Leave the tree. Harvest the leaves.

[@lostbelowthefold4199]

Sonny Berry I could see why it might look bad but as it turns out cutting/pruning the tree is actually good for it. They grows back sturdier and with bigger leaves.

[@mr.toasty]

+Sonny Berry Moringa's need pruning. Chopping it down to 3 feet is necessary for perennial Moringa trees. It will sprout new limbs, and keep growing. Truly an amazing tree. If you grow one yourself, be sure you prune it regularly- otherwise, it will resemble the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, except that it grows in excess of 15-20 feet per year

Hi.how many times do you water Moringa in the summer season?

[@ezekiel318]

hey John, why do you prefer dried moringa over fresh?

[@jagannathakalenahally572]

Very good info and videos...

[@ooohlaa13]

i am curious why you would chop the tree down instead of growing it to its own demise, as it is very prolific with sprouts and side branches?? Anyway all these claims for all these super foods alarm me because it may not contain ANY of them imo does it not matter the soil it is grown in? Here in Florida I grow it in 6.5 soil sandy and in Florida the nutrition you add to the soil drains thru quickly. So I never know the actual nutrient value of my homegrown, or anyone else's commercial or private for that matter. Many food charts are from 50 years ago when the soil was very rich and not raped like it is now. I also want to mention that it grows long seed pods but my tree survived this winter, we had a mild North FL winter for once, and its ready for harvest again. I love your hint about the paper bag and also about the dry container. So practical. Thanx as always thumbs up!

[@nereidapr1]

Could you send me some seeds or cuttings from your tree, whatever it takes to begin rooting one. Your tree has already been climatized to Florida so should work well for me in Central Florida? I would like to be able to eat leaves fresh off the tree or in salads and your tree sounds just right for that. Thanks for your attention.

[@rumihumphrey]

@rumihumphrey i also wanted to mention that the leaves are delicious sautéed and in stews and while the powder looks great if your cultivating it is an unnecessary step. i eat it raw right off the plant and love it although light sauté is good. some platens i've noticed are more bitter than others, I wonder if it's the phenotype or environmental factors.

I intend to grow this plant and dry it useing my Far infrared Sauna any thoughts on this method good or bad please comment why you think it would be good or not cheers thanks

[@loveisnow2]

Ok I looked it up, for anyone else that wants to know, these are the benefits.~ The leaves of the Moringa oleifera tree have no parallel in the plant kingdom. The Moringa tree is the most nutritious in the world, with most of its benefits stored in the small green leaves of this unassuming plant. Known as the Tree of Life, it contains more than 90 nutrients including 40 powerful antioxidants. In fact, practically every part of the plant contains important minerals and are a good source of protein, vitamins, beta-carotene, amino acids, and various phenolics. Moringa leaves are small, thick, and tear-drop shaped and grow rapidly as the plant matures. The leaves are strong and firm and can be easily picked from the tree’s branches. It's leaf powder contains all eight essential amino acids required for proper protein synthesis. It is rich in flavonoids, including Quercetin, Kaempferol, Beta-Sitosterol, Caffeoylquinic acid, and Zeatin. Stacked full of nutrients, anti-oxidants, and vital proteins, it is quite possibly the most amazing botanical ever studied. Here are just a few benefits to consuming Moringa: Increases the body’s immune system Provides nourishment to the brain and body Promotes energy Decreases anxiety, depression, and sleep related disorders Promotes cell structure of the body Calms, moisturizes, and nourishes the skin Promotes the normal functioning of the liver and kidney Contains antioxidants Promotes a healthy circulatory system Supports normal sugar levels Aids in stabilizing diabetes Aids in reducing inflammation and related conditions like arthritis

[@russelljohnson805]

It is also very comforting to the digestive tract. People with IBS or colitis are helped greatly by it. I think it may be because Moringa is a splendid pre-biotic food, which nourishes the beneficial (probiotic) bacteria in your gut.

[@HeartlandFamilyDesigns]

So you store them in dried leaf form and then make into powder as needed?

Here's a tip to save money when processing Moringa. Instead of buying an expensive food processor to chop it into fine powder, use the nutri bullet. The nutri bullet comes with a milling blade and it works perfect for powdering things like dried moringa or tumeric. I grow Moringa in Florida and we use it every day in our smoothies (also made with the nutri bullet)
