Have you tried Moringa yet? Did you eat it fresh or powdered, supplement,etc.?
Lol I was waiting for your expression when the bitterness 'hit' and then I was waiting again for when the sweetness ' hit'. I really did laugh out loud.
I've been growing it for years, maybe 10 years. I eat fresh leaves I prefer the seeds immature and cooked. I dry the leaves too for soups and also powder them. Its a great vitamin/ mineral supplement 👍
Lol, it was surprising😂. Did not get any pods yet, can't wait to try it. Thanks so much, great to hear from people who have experience with something I am new at. Have a great day my friend! 😁
I have tried it as I lived in Thailand and some of my Asian friends grow it here in Australia
I put the dried leaves in my pasta sauce as a heavy garnish. And I use the leaves to make tea (I tend to eat the soaked leaves as I drink the tea)
I eat fresh only
Hi, There is an old saying in Tamil language that "Murungaya vechavan verum kaiyya povan" ( The one plants moringa tree will go empty handed) and it actually means that, The one who plants the moringa tree in their house and then consumes the leaves cooked, Drumstick cooked, will never needs a walking stick. He / she can walk freely with no support in his/ her later ages. And it is. The power of moringa Tree.
I never heard the word Tamil what country is that language spoken
It’s better raw because vitamine are distructed by heating
@Sharrice Barnes India, which has 121 different languages spoken. India is a Union of many different nationalities. Most Indians speak multiple languages, usually in addition to English also.
🙏👍❤love from Tamil South Africa. We grow up with a tree in our farm. God bless you all
so is it better to eat moringa cooked vs raw?
I had a huge tree in my garden and I didn't know what it was! It was in the way of a new project idea, so I cut it down and the huge stump was hard to get out, so I left it where it was! The main trunk was left laying on the ground and the rainy season came and went here in Thailand and the stump sprouted numerous new branches and the old trunk sprouted new green branches, so I guess it was saying give me a chance, you can't do without me! When a friend of mine mentioned Moringa to me, I wanted to get some and plant! My wife told me that is what you cut down last year! The moral of this story is not to cut down trees that you don't know what benefit it may give you! Now that big stump provides me with fresh Moringa and some of the excess branches can be re-planted to grow more! Maybe it was a good thing I cut it down, it taught me how hardy the Moringa tree is and how much it wants to live and provide happiness and health! It's called Marum/Marom here in Thailand!
I lived in a Filipino neighborhood in Corpus Christi, TX for years, and we ate Malunggay (Moringa) all the time. Everyone grew the trees in their yards. We would make a dish where you simmer the pods in a tomato based sauce. Then you crack open the pods, and scrape out the greenbean-like insides. Delicious! Our nonprofit is now growing moringa plants to give to families living in undeserved Houston communities. Thanks for the video!
That is fantastic!! Thank you for sharing that with us. I think more people should know about this plant. Keep up the great work. You rock!!!
Hello how are you? Im from houston, how can i be a part of this program??
Glad to know it can grow in Texas. I hope to find a seed source to plant next spring in the Seguin region.
I’ve been trying to plant from seed unfortunately they die later on. I live in Las Vegas, very hot on summer. 😢
Well I've had a loose tooth and during Thanksgiving it seams to have got infected.well I've been trying to clean out the infection so I didn't have to get it pulled.
Today I was in the garden and grabbed a handful of moringa leaves and was eating them. Well I just watched this video and was so amazed of the benafits of this awesome tree that I just realized, I don't have any pain anymore associated with that infection. Meaning something took place and removed that infection. Very very rapidly.its only been 4 hrs ago when I ate the leaves..
I'm just sharing my experience.
Woah! That's amazing!
Another plant you can grow for tooth/gum pain is called the "toothache plant", Sczchuan buttons, buzz buttons etc. They are small and produce a single "flower" on top that looks nothing like a flower. The flower is the part that works for pain, just bite down on it and in a couple minutes the pain is gone.
It's $20 including shipping for 1,500 seeds from Amazon I tried the leaves in the powder but I found I got more benefit from eating the seed I've been eating the seed now for 6 months I am over 60 and the benefits have been miraculous
😱 I had no idea you could eat the seeds
Thanks so much so sharing
Wow!! Thanks for sharing. I have an expensive oil for 20$ i use for skin but sometimes if I feeling lucky I’ll put a squirt in my mouth and it’s delicious. Will try the seeds!! I just planted my own seeds and excited is an understatement!!! This is better than any Hollywood movie seriously, we are so brainwashed and there’s sooooo much fun stuff out there for our health and joy. I ask so blessed!!!
@Bri Zen Please? Tell me how miraculous? I've been in pain for two-and-a-half years with a broken leg and ankle, plus when I fell, I landed directly on my butt, so my spine is screwed up also
Planted my moringa seeds today and then sat down to watch your moringa video. I had never thought of tasting a seed, and it was exactly as you described; nutty and then really bitter and then very sweet. I also found myself reaching for some water to try and wash the bitter away. Thanks for sharing.
That really surprised me, lol. I am excited, this will be year three that these plants are with me.
If you make sambhar (a Southern Indian gravy that you mix with rice), it's delicious. Look for recipes online.
Moringa as you partake of it you ask it and tell it what your doing to it and why. You let it know your going to give it water or cut it. It will respect you and cure you as your respecting it and helping it grow. So I’ve been told. That’s what I do to my lil tree.
Awesome, I love that. Thank you 😁
Talk to every plant you plant.
Certainly good for mental health
As all creation comes from Our Creator, out of respect for it all being in the present moment, we are called to live Life of Gratitude, not taking anything or anyone for granted, but respect and give thanks for it all helping us as we journey through this life.
I have 2 of these planted in my yard. Zone 9a. I love eating the leaves raw or in soup. Makes a good tea too. I think its supposed to be the most nutrient rich plant on earth but I could have heard that wrong. They will grow into very tall trees if you don't top it every few weeks. They can grow in containers too. I can't say enough about this plant/tree. It gives me energy and I love it. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍
Awesome, thanks so much, I am really excited about it. I did not know about the tea, will give it a try 😎🖒
How much energy
I grew up in Malaysia with these trees in the backyard. As an Indian, we make lentil curry with it. super delicious to eat with rice or quinoa.
Hi Mike, I have grown these from seed in the Western cape, South Africa. First summer height about 1 mt high but was able to pick leaves all summer. They died off for winter, lowest temp 10° then they came to life in summer again. Have struggled a bit with our severe drought but respond to a little rain so well. I sprout the seeds in a closed container, overnight soak in water first, in their shells, takes 6 days to germinate, then plant out the little sprouts at 2 to 3 weeks. Thank you for a great video.
Awesome, thank you so much for all the great info. Getting ready to trim mine back soon. 😎🤘
Wow, so in Africa it gets to 10 degrees? and you still have moringa ?? wow this encourages me......it gets down to the 20's here occasionally in the winter, so perhaps I can grow them........
@carolburnett8372 😃 it actually regularly goes below 0 degrees in some places in winter.
My Moringa was destroyed by Hurricane Ian, in SW Fl. It was taller than my house, I saved drumsticks to plant later. They grow very tall unless you keep them trimmed down. I harvested leaves and grind the leaves in a coffee grinder and put the powder in capsules.
I'm sad. The hard freeze took mine. Going to have to start again.
Moringa is called “malunggay” in Filipino. It is a very well-known type of vegetable especially in Asia. The leaves are extensively used in soups like chicken tinola. You can actually add it also in any porridge recipes too. Some people use the leaves to heal wounds as first aid by simply crushing the leaves until green juice comes out and put it on top of the wound as disinfectant. This leafy plant is also antioxidant packed and used as supplements too. Hope these helps.
Wow, thank you! 😎🌱🌱🌱🌱
Keep on Growin' with Mike VanDuzee Try searching for malunggay recipes, you’ll be surprised that there’s a lot that you can do with it. By the way, this plant can grow as thick as 1 foot (the main trunk), so better transplant it to the ground and give it a 3-5 feet space from other plants if you’re planning to grow it out to a tree. Happy that you can grow it in florida, i’ll try my luck here in texas.
@@cheriibanez6856 I want it in tree form, but kept small. I wonder if keeping it in a pot would do that or if it would eventually kill it. 10ft is my ideal vision.
Glad to know I'm not the only one putting a few moringa leaves into my porridge
@@SuziesCornerInLove There is a dwarf variety too. You can get the seeds on eBay.
I have been drinking morninga tea for several years. Tried growing it in doors, but each time it got to about 6-8" it died. It was very fast growing though. Am looking forward to your technique. Did you know that some scientist/Biblical scholars think it was a moringa stick that Moses through into the "bitter waters?". Thanks for the teaching
Cool, no I did not know that. I am excitrd, i trimmed it back and they all grew back even bushier. 🌱🌱🌱
I did that same thing, bringing it into the kitchen by the window in the winter BUT I'd given one of my babies to a friend and her's never died - she brought it into the garage - so I did that this year on the first frost, put a plastic bag over the leaves on the really cold nights, and a blanket around the bottom of the pot - only watered it on warm days in the middle of the day - she's done great! Need to know when to prune it and put it back outside.
Great for cuts. When we were young when we have cuts and scrapes we would mash it until we get the juice from it and rub it into out cuts. We also use it as our vegetables-we cook it with our traditional soups.
Last year I looked on line but couldn't find ONE site that sold moringa seeds. This year found the seeds on line immediately upon looking. Moringa is catching on! Looking SO forward to growing my very own moringa trees.
Baker Creek Seeds is selling seeds for a dwarf Moringa tree. This would allow us northern gardeners to bring the small tree indoors during the cold season.
We just went down to Florida and bought a Moringa plant 15 inches tall from a Nursery. The last one they had. They can’t keep them, very popular.
@fancythat5136 My husband and I winter in Florida and I brought back a morninga tree with us. I'm keeping it in a five gallon bucket so I can transport it back and forth from Michigan to Florida every winter until it's too big then ill plant it in Florida and start a new one.❤️
That's pretty interesting. I take my Moringa powder with an electrolyte powder. When I mix the two it's much sweeter. I've always wondered why that is so, when both alone are not very sweet at all. So the moringa powder is enhancing the sweetness of the otherwise pretty neutral electrolyte powder. Thank you for sharing.
It's been proven to direct plant moringa seeds in ground during the beginning of spring after frost season it grows fast and loves the heat it's a amazing plant you can't go wrong growing it even if you're up north with a greenhouse you can trim it or it will shut up 30'ft high👍✌️
Thanks, I seldom do what "is proven" and do my own thing.
love your videos, love your enthusiasm, love your choices of music, doing my first hydroponics this year!!!!!
This made me feel really good, thank you 😎🖒🌱🌱
in my country we have plenty of it along the street beside the road everywhere but my ppl dont pay attention for it benefit which very amazing I also made my own Moringa power on my own its really good supplement :)
That's awesome!!
I live in Ventura County,….. Santa Paula,California…. There’s a huge tree about a mile from my house…… I’m struggling with mine….I’ve tried many times. I got some seeds started from Maui. So far it’s about 10”……. Just sharing!
Most backyards in the Philippines would have moringa, we put in some vegetable stir fries, soups, lentils. Very nutritious!
Awesome!!! I trimmed mine back after winter and they are coming back in now. So excited!!😎🖒🌱🌱🌱🌱
The younger drumsticks are more tender once cooked but the larger ones are rather tough so once they've cooked the seeds can be sucked out of them and eaten and are very tasty.
Greetings,
I was just sipping on a Moringa shake and saw your video!
I have high calcium in water.. I’m actually planning to visit Jacksonville n April. I’m looking to relocate for the winter months and grow an annual crop for all year as one thing to accomplish with my time there!
Cool, I would love to try a moringa shake! Jacksonville is nice for year round growing. A few years we may get a hard freeze but mostly mild winters. Summer heat can be challenging.
One of the best plants to have in your garden.
✌🌱
I love Moringa! Started several trees from seeds bought at food store! Thank you!
Tks for the tips. I'll start my first batch of moringa soon. I am in Malaysia. A tropical country. It should do well here. Once again, tks 👌
An awesome tree. My friends in Asia grow it from cuttings and love it. You have inspired me, Mike, to grow this tree now. I keep on forgetting about it.
Gotta get me some seeds.
All the best from Australia
Marty
Do you think I could put the scraps of moringa in my worm bed? The leaves themselves are slightly peppery.
Right on Marty, fantastic little tree. Have an awesome weekend my friend.
@@DuzeeDesigns yes for sure they would love it as it's high in protein,,,just add a little now and again as it dissapears
Question. Can I use Moringa tree as a hedge? Meaning I want to keep it only to chest height.
@@Pippie5555 good question, I want that too!
Hi from Australia soak moringa seed in water 48 hrs best result love your content x
Thank you Helen!!
Thanks. Will plant some. Soaking seeds first,, never knew this
I recently learned about this tree, but I'm happy to get an insight video from Mike, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Moringa , the miracle plant. GREAT propagation video. THANK YOU!!! 😎👍
I've tried the capsules for arthritis... So far it's working. It's been 1 month.
Wow, thank yoi. Good to know.
Arthritis you say. Both are new to me. This info adds to my curiosity. Thank you.
@@douglascunningham6319 you never really know how much a med is working til you stop taking. I ran out and couldnt find it local. Oh man, i paid for it for sure. They put me on script meloxicam. It raised my blood pressure and inflammation but my pain level was down. Im not willing to take this med forever. Ordering more of the Moringa and watching blood pressure.
Powerfood!
Many of my customers grow it. Amazing plant!
I would love to know the old ways that have been pushed aside because of modern medicine. Im researching it. Eastern cultures seem to hold more of the natural healing information.
Your channel has really grown my friend.🙏😊
Hoping your both well!
❤🤘🙏😃
Thanks much Brad. So glad I could grow it as I could not find it fresh. Going to start some sprouts soon for Spring, I will show everyone your lights again. Have an awesome week my friend.
I have 8 little seedlings they are growing amazing, in a milk carton, I have difficulty sprouting indoors, I live in Illinois, but I put the seed outside in the 80 and 90 degrees and they sprout fast. They are beautiful trees.
I found soaking the seeds, as you would beans or nasturtium, made for quicker germination.
Thank you! I planted these in the ground and they are on their third year. I am planning on planting more, will give that a try!
I've got three Moringa trees that I grew from seed. So, easy to grow!
Awessome!! Mine are starting to grow back now!!! So stoked!
@@KeepOnGrowin They don't like wet feet. Their lower and med leaves will tell you when they need a soak.
Never grew any Moringa before. Get to 7 foot is awesome. Bitter sweet taste sounds good to me. Looking forward to watching this series! Hope you two have a great weekend!
Thanks CB, this is a really cool crop. Be careful if you try the seeds, that first bitter taste really takes you back, lol. Have an awesome weekend!
Thank you CB! Back at you and Rene! ❤
I've seen them 30 feet tall
I am eating Moringa leaves everyday..keeps me full of energy
Always showing simplest approach. Thx. Excited to grow, been wanting more backyard veg protein plants especially perennials!
Thank you for this video I really enjoyed watching the growing process. I’ve got some sprouting as micro greens at the moment so after watching this video I’m going to try growing a few on.
What grocery store did you find those in? I have been using the powder. It truly has helped me health wise I many was. Inflammation is an issue I was having. I had hurt my thumbs somehow, my right hand was worse and my thumb was swelling and with pain so severe I couldn't put any kind of pressure on it. I couldn't open even the simplest things, I started taking moringa and the swelling went away. IF I happen to miss a day I can tell it. The all over body pain returns and my thumbs are useless! I am amazed at how much Moringa truly does help.
That's awesome! I found these at IGA, there are also some on Amazon.
@@KeepOnGrowin we don't have IGA here 😔 I looked at the link for Amazon but I don't need that many seeds 😂 I checked at places in my area yesterday the only store that I know for sure carried that brand closed 😭😭😭😭 hopefully I will be able to find some though. Thanks for replying!!!!!😁
I have heard of Moringa before Mike. Seems like a very healthy plant supplement. Wonder how the plant would grow in cold climates or as a container plant? -Bob...
It would need to be brought inside once frost is in the forecast, as it will die off in freezing Temps. David the Good's Survival Gardener UA-cam channel has some good ideas for pruning & overwintering.
We cook the leaves with onions, chayote, ginger, and chicken. Filipinos call it “tinola.” :)
Its called the tree of life. Every part can be used either as medicine, herb, etc. The seed pod is long. Its called a drumstick. You can do seed collection or use the whole pod to cook curry. Leaves can be used as stir-fry.
Sir Mike,
Some eat the seed kernels!
Me I’m thinking on it. The Organic Veda Brand from Amazon (powder) is authentic. (Some are not;they have fillers!)
I usuallybuy 00 and 000 size gelatin capsules and fill them. Even when wearing rubber gloves;it’s real messy.
It’s worth it to me to check that the powder is fresh looking!
Wow, thank you for the info!! That is very helpful. Don't know if I can eat the whole seed, I don't even like popcorn kernals, lol. That would be an interesting texture tho.😎🤘
I have moringga plant in my yard,we eat the leaves n the fruit but we dont eat the seeds, yah we love to eat them in a chicken soup for the leaves n the fruit is my fav.,I saute them with tomatoes only n its so tasty.
Can you give me idea of watering for moring 2-3 years( already giving fruits) trees? At present trees have flowers & also very thin fruit sticks.
Hi Mike. Just saw your great video.
I grew up in Malaysia where we plant this easily but not from the seed. We just take a few small branches and poke it into the ground and it’ll just grow. That’s the other way.
The other thing, u take the leaves (don’t mash or ground them) mix them with eggs and fry. They taste great in omelettes.
Tks.
Cool! Thanks much, sounds delicious!
With all the goodness in those leaves & stems, just imagine what it can do for your compost or your garden in general.
You're right, quite an amazing plant. 😎🤘
I didn't think of that! Wonder if good for my worm bed?
Definitely does wonders composted as well great to feed animals so I learned in other UA-cam videos!
Great Video. Loved your taste test.
I'll be Planting mine this weekend
One doctor that studied this plant referred to it as almost perfect nutrition.
Cool. Mine are going on their third year. The plant that keeps on giving.
Going to keep an eye out for these, thanks👏👍💖
Yes, great addition to your garden.
I ordered the seeds about 10 years ago from India. By the time they arrived, it was too late in the year to plant. Last month I saw a video about them, pulled out my old seeds and none germinated. So I bought seeds from Amazon. I placed them on a damp paper towel in a cookie sheet and covered with another paper towel and cling wrap. This went in my warm closet. They sprouted! I have 146 in Dixie cups with the rest sprouting. Now I wonder what to do next. The tallest are already about 6" tall.
Hello “Keep on Growing”, which store did you buy your Moringa seeds from? Thank you in advance🙏🏼. This is my first time to your channel and I loved it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! It was IGA supermarket
Great video. Growing some this year.
Awesome!!! Thank you!
Can you tell me where to purchase the seed's from ?
For the seed I never got the sweet all it was very strong bitter. So I'm going to try to grow Moringa for the leaves.
So if I grow 5 seedlings get big, how much yard do you need for 5 huge trees? How far apart do you plant them?
Moringa seed are, like chile del monte pepers they sprout only when day and night are very hot.
Where did you buy the moringa serds? Thanks for the video.
Hey there Mike!
I hope you and your family are doing well! Hope y'all had a nice Christmas and New Year's! I've been kinda out of the loop, health issues, family issue and now just getting over the darn flu, it's been something!
Here's to the 2020 growing season, wishing you a wonderful harvest!! I'm just starting to get things growing around here. The one thing I do have is the Moranga tree 😊
I started it last year using the seeds. I did have to bring it in, it gets cold here, and that's when I cut the tops off and it's branching out and coming back nicely! I don't know much about growing them, or fertilizing them. Honestly I haven't done much to it all winter other than give it some water. So far so good, thank you for posting😊👍 I'm always learning something!!
I wish I new you were looking for seeds, I would have sent you a bunch!
I am sorry you were having a rough time, hope you get to doing better. Thanks about the seeds, I kept forgetting about it and then I saw them in the store, lol. I think it is time to top mine off now. I have been pretty busy myself, thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!
Great video, thanks for sharing
Very good information
Thank you.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Very informative ! Thanks
thanks for the informative video
Does the tree of Moringa need much sunlight ? I had to plant them in my garden because we don't have this plant in my country that much and planted some seeds but I'm worried that they will not grow more or may die!!!!
I live in Southern Arizona me and 3 of my neighbors tried to grow moranga from seed none of them even sprouted or grew any roots what are we doing wrong?
Will you be showing the long pod & how to save seed to bless someone to grow their own. Since its perenial growing 1 or 2 trees will give you shade, the leaves can be used for stir fry, pod can be used for curry. It's caledl the tree of life. In poor country this will keep them alive.
Still researching.
Can moringa grow in pot?
If branches are thick can it be used to graft other fruit, plant, crop, flower, etc.
I posted about 2 months ago about growing moringa.....you were so kind to answer my questions.........I did buy the seeds and have planted 4 times........I still have not gotten one plant.......I want to grow moringa very, very bad.......I tried soaking some, tried spraying the seeds all wrapped up in paper towels......spraying with seed activator and they molded.......I looked at a video giving me the instructions............I am looking at your video here on my tv. now still hoping to grow moringa.....I live in zone 8 Waynesboro, GA....30830------- ideas? wondering what I can try next please ?????
Did you get them from a seed company or the grocery store? Sometimes the ones at the grocery store won't germinate. Also, up in GA you will probably need to grow in a pot, the Winter will probably kill any plants you grow.
I need to cultivate the moringa tree. How can I get some of the seeds or ca u supply me with some seeds
Never heard of these before. Definitely interested to try them out though. Very cool video these things grow like crazy. Be well Mike 😎🐿
Thanks Tony, this is a really cool plant. Take care, will see yoiu around the internet bro!
can i plant moringa in a big pot imstead of in ground?
I have 1 moringa tree on the farm it's tall with white flowers for the seed, have seed to plant at home.
It is so famous in the Philippines
Nice .......see the moringa in SriLanka ....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've never seen moringa seeds sold along with the spice packets. Must be regional? Here we see packets of chiltepin alongside the other spices
I love the moringa plant and all the things it does for the body.....I like that it is easy to grow ........I hope it will grow in my zone 8 a........can you advise me so I can know if I need to bring the plant inside for the winter.....?? Thanks ahead of time.....
You would need a fairly large pot and prune it way back. It will grow back in the Spring.
Some are saying it’s different species how do you know what type to order and if it’s non gmo ? I want to natural ℹ spliced untampered with seeds ? And lastly can this grow in Virginia? Thanks in advance appreciate the video seems easy to do excited to try
How do you make it thicker?? When do you trim it back?
I’m in Cali zone 9 it’s spring here (April) should I plant it rt away when I get the plant? Or keep it inside ya think?? Then transplant it?
Where did you buy the huge pack of moringa seeds? I just have a tiny packet. Did you order them or pick them up at a local store?
It was at IGA grocery store
Have you heard anything about them being invasive? I think I totally want one
Very nice thank you for sharing
You're welcome, thank you for watching 😎🤘
What is the distance between trees?
What time if the year did you plant the first seeds and when did you have them in the ground by?
A few weeks before this video was aired.
Thanks
Thank you very much!
sir where yo buy moringa seeds?!
I have two trees in the back. But I transplanted that from a branch my dad gave me. Out of curiosity though, what are the chances of being able to plant them and transplanting to a hydroponic base?
I don't know. This is my first attempt. I had a cutting in hydro and it was dping good. We had one cold day and it has been struggling.
I grew one last year in Georgia, it doesn't like the winter, but I have lots more seeds, think I will grow a lot like you this year.
Cool, thanks for sharing. Could you prune them back to a foot or two or did they freeze?
There's no links.?...GOD BLESS
You mentioned eating broccoli leaves do you cook those just like collard greens
Yes.
I planted some seeds about a week ago and havent seen anything yet. I didnt peel though, should I peel then try again?
You can try. Sometimes it's hit and miss.
Will this grow in a place where it rains like every afternoon?
where did you bought that pack of moringa seeds ? can you please name the store and the location and the price or how many seeds in it ? i love your video . thank you
Thank you. I get them from IGA grocery store in Jacksonville.
have you tried growing this using kratky
hydroponics? very interested in growing this in this method. I live in the midsouth and the winters can get too cold for it. I tried growing one indoors using potting soil and didn't make it
I can grow small plants but not too large. It does not do well as it matures.
hi Mike! i'll be trying moringa this year. Have you ever planted or eaten sunchokes?
Cool, you will love it. No I have not tried sunchokes. 😎🤘
That was the craziest taste experience!! You didn’t really like it, it appears. Would you recommend it for normal people to eat?
Not really a fan, I would rather eat the leaves. It was surprising though.
I’m in zone 8a planted a few and they have died back...no freezing temps yet this year , must have been the soil?
Could be. Mine are starting to thin out, just a few top leaves left. No freezing temps either. I am going to prune them in about a week or so.
I'm in north central FL but my moringa is thin and not leafy as it should be. I transplanted it to the ground. Idk why is not really giving leaves. It's been months tho. 😪
Hello! Can you send me some. I don’t know how to get hold of that seed.
Where did you buy the seeds?
Rowes IGA
I want to grow some now! What are you fertilizing it with and how often? Thanks!
Nothing much. When I change my hydroponics out, I dump my old nutrients into the bed. Unfortunately, we had one hard freeze this year and took out most of my trees, I only have two left. Got to plant more myself.
@@KeepOnGrowin I live in TX, I plant mine outside and been in the ground for over 10 yrs started with 8 plants now all alive and grown more trees from cuttings. Every winter I covered it with lots of leaves, prune it halfway and no fertilizer needed. Moringa "Malunggay" in my language, it has deep taproot so its better planted in deep containers and width doesn't matter just deep ones if planning to put it inside during winter. By the way my Moringa I thought died when TX was hit of that 1 week Icestorm, but it sprouted back with very big leaves and very bushy. As long as you insulate the roots it will come back to life as I experienced and observed it too. Also whenever any insects like wasps and bees stung me, actually many times ouchy...I use the leaves, pound it and extract the juice on the affected area, nobody believes me until I shows the little holes. Anyway I grow up with it and my grandmother was/is my source, she's very knowledgeable, she uses it for everything not just food for human and animal consumption but as healing medicine. Hope this little info will help someone.
oh shnap! i planted my seeds with the shell lol. so what happens do i uproot them and remove the shell or keep waiting for the shell to decompose?
in maldives its called muranga faiy and they deep fry it (which i think makes it lose its nutritional value) then they add to rice and curry as a toppinf. in maldives there's a form of anaemia called thalasemia and i wonder why yet they eat moringa leaves. i think its the deep fry that spoils it. in east africa its called mzungi and they cook it like kale or spinach.
Don't know, this was my first attempt and I saw a few people do this. Thanks for the info, I need to try it a few different ways, mostly been using it in salads and my juice.
