One of my favorite sources for nutrition information is the Food Revolution Network. Ocean Robbins and his father, bestselling author John Robbins, run this popular site. I'm proud that they endorsed my first book, The Great Healing.
This is what Ocean has to say about moringa: “Today, I want to convince you to pay attention to one of the most nutritious and eco-friendly plants ever studied, even though the only way you can get it in most parts of the US and Europe is as a powdered supplement. Why? Because not only is the moringa tree an incredible source of nutrition, it also has the potential to reverse global warming, provide food for the starving, create thriving agricultural economies in some of the poorest places on earth, and even remove toxins from drinking water.”
Moringa has more than twice the protein of kale, six times the iron, and 97 times the vitamin B2. This is a powerhouse. Numerous researchers have concluded that, “there is likely no plant equal in terms of its combination of nutritive, medicinal, and disease preventative value.”
I mix a teaspoon into my morning smoothie every day.
