Moringa leaves are packed with super nutrition, including vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and protein. People in countries such as the Philippines buy fresh leaves daily at their neighborhood farmers’ markets, picked from local trees. They may even have trees growing naturally around their house. They use the leaves daily in teas, soups, and other dishes. It is as familiar as using lettuce in this country.
In the United States, most Americans do not use Moringa leaves in their daily lives. You may have never heard of the Moringa leaves or seen them in any market you shop at.
If you live in or near an Asian community, you will probably find the leaves there in the produce department. This is especially true in Hawaii, Florida, Southern California, and perhaps in South Caroline where winters are mild, with no freezes.
