How To Make Homemade Moringa Powder | Mac's Cooking Diary
The Superfood
Moringa is dubbed as the “superfood” because its nutritional contents. This plants is native to to Indian subcontient and can be easily found around south east asia. There are many names referring to Moringa in common tongue. Apparently, Moringa is rich with vitamin A and has a few minerals even rich in potassium. In many countries around the world, Moringa is used in cooking and has been subject to medicinal research too.
I personally know about that from a while ago when I started spotting moringa around the internet. I didn’t realize this tree grows around the yard. Only a few days ago I started realizing that it grows around the house and I can utilize it to make this powdered superfood.
What are the steps turning moringa into fine powder?
- Pluck a few fresh leaves from the stem.
- Wash the moringa clean
3.Dry it outside until you can hear the crunch
4.Use blender to turn them into fine powder
5.Sift the powder and it’s ready to use.
When I make the tea, it tastes a little strange. There’s a hint of spice and mint together making it quite a spicy beverage. I have not explored alternatives of making them because my dad didn’t quite like it but we’re thinking of putting them into tiny capsules so it’s a lot easier to consume for him.
I even read in a report that it could help with diseases that affects our nervous system which is something my dad really needs. So, I am hoping it could alleviate his pain.
I am prepping this every morning because the sun is really out and it speeds up the roasting process. A lot of people I know dry them about 2-3 days but for me all it takes is just half a day because it’s really that hot around here. So, it was pretty quick that they dried and I can already drink moringa tea during the night.
Making moringa tea is also not that hard. I use 2 tbsp to make the tea and for my dad, I use 3-4 tbsp before steeping it with hot water to make a warm drink.

Oh this is very informative! We have lots of Moringa in our place.With this information,I'm sure I can prepared this one too soon.Thanks for sharing.
They can be made into pancakes too and in some culture added into bread. It's interesting how they have practical use and is rich in minerals and vitamins.
Yes, that's true friend and I love moringa...
Really a superfood and as we all know, teas are really healthy
some teas are healthy :D but generally yes
Moringa is also known for its healing ability. I blend the fresh leaves with water to extract the juice from it then I mix the extract to my coffee.
Haven't tried your method but I think it's great way since I can keep the powder longer. I'll try it this way too.
yes! I think powder will last a lot longer too and it's easier to consume. You should try it that way too!
If I remember correctly, we also have it here and it is used to be taken mainly by older people because of the properties you mention. As it is an artisanal remedy, so to speak, young people do not take it much.
lol. in Jamaica it is the same trend. I am young though and i have it in my shakes and teas every other week. I alternate weekly with turmeric.
My mom has tried several times to get me to take teas of this and homemade moringa pills but the truth is that I am not very good at taking this kind of remedies.
I guess it's a matter of habit... and a little bit that I've always been told that I'm 'bad mouth', it's an expression used in Venezuela when you refer to a picky eater and drinker.
lol. bad mouth. I guess the spanish would make more sense why bad mouth and picky eater are correlated.
hahah what a funny expression to say someone is a picky eater :D
ooh!that's even great to hear. I am starting to consume it daily. I think young people should give it a try!
This is really easy.. I love moringa tea too, even eating the leaves alone, especially when added to fish or chicken soup..
Do you add anything to it? or just plain moringa tea?
Just plain.... I don't think it taste better with sugar..
ooh, I thought adding sugar would make it taste better and less spicy/minty
Moringa is minty for me, 😅
Moringa, that names just rolls off the tongue. This is a very interesting plant. I looked it up on Examine.com to see if there were scientific studies on it. This is what I found: https://examine.com/supplements/moringa/
It seems like a high potency anti-oxidant with various benefits (but also possible side effects in high doses)
I saw them on the market sold as superfoods and you know, like capsules form. It's apparently quite high in antioxidants and stuff.
There was a time in Cuba when there was an attempt to extend the cultivation of Moringa due to the excellent properties of the plant. All based on scientific research. It is not talked about much anymore but it was elaborated as a refreshing tea, it was used to accompany meats and many other properties. What an interesting post. Thank you for sharing.
ooh! what happened to that? I mean moringa is pretty excellent plants and quite nutritious. What hinders the progress?
Lo he intentado pero con el orégano y queda super crujiente y deli para usarlos en comida. Una vez lo intente con albahaca pero sin éxito. Me gusta ver qué lo pruebes con esta
¡Deberías probarlo con este!:)

It is great that you have a moringa tree in your garden, as it is a blessing. Certainly, this plant offers many benefits, but in those people who have heart problems, it should be consumed with medical supervision. The product you have obtained from drying and grinding moringa leaves is really good. Good idea.

I read that too, whenever it's all about oriental/natural medicine, always exercise with cautions because you never know if it has severe side effects especially for those with terminal illnesses. Thanks for checking out!
Moringa is always present in most of the homes in my locale, and mostly in veggie soups. It's surely a superfood.
I can't really imagine making it as a soup! what would be the soup taste?
Wow I didn't know that you can make moringa powder,We have a lot of moringa at our backyard, surely will try it soon!😍
Try making a powder out of it, so easy and great to have as pills if you can find them on Shopee
