Moringa Leaves can be eaten fresh, cooked, or stored as dried powder for many months without refrigeration. While stored ,they won’t loose their nutrition value. Moringa Flowers are also edible. You can check this fritters recipe that I have shared before.
Moringa leaves contain more Vitamin A than carrots, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, more Vitamin C than oranges, and more potassium than bananas .This a perfect to fall in the category of Super-Food.
