What it is

Moringa oleifera is a plant native to parts of Africa and Asia. The leaves are typically dried and ground into a powder for use in food products. It is sometimes referred to as the "drumstick tree" or "miracle tree."

Why it's used

Moringa leaf powder is often added to foods and beverages for its nutritional content, particularly its vitamins and minerals. It is commonly found in teas, smoothies, and powdered drink mixes. Manufacturers may also include it in energy bars and baked goods.

Health notes

Moringa leaves are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. While rich in nutrients, scientific evidence does not currently support claims that moringa can treat or prevent any disease. JECFA has evaluated moringa and has not specified an acceptable daily intake. Research into the health effects of moringa is ongoing.

Allergen info

Moringa is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
