In the last video, we reviewed the health benefits of Moringa. Moringa certainly is an incredible plant, and worthwhile incorporating into your diet. Many people do not know the best way to eat Moringa and are looking for suggestions on how to prepare it. Obviously, moringa has been consumed for centuries, in many different ways. It is used in cooking as well as potions and tinctures. As we reviewed in the last video, the active ingredient of moringa is a compound called moringin - and it is converted from something called glucomoringin by an enzyme called myrosinase. All of this is a specific process and - to be honest - it can be messed up if you are not careful. So...How do you guarantee the moringa you have prepared has enough moringin? And how do you know it is active and usable by our bodies? How do you know you didn’t kill off all the myrosinase (which is a heat sensitive enzyme by the way)..
So, myrosinase is a heat sensitive enzyme, meaning, that if you heat your moringa up it will kill off the myrosinase and - you get no moringin. Lucky for us though, we have enzymes in our gut microbiome that also convert glucomoringin to moringin - so...you’re not out of luck completely, but you definitely are not getting as much moringin as you would if you didn’t heat the moringin up at all. Don’t let that stop you from putting moringa leaves in your cooked foods like curry and stir fries - just don’t count on that giving you all the moringin you need. I would advise a backup method.
Thanks to Jed Fahey PhD, who is a scientist at Johns Hopkins Cullman chemoprevention center that researches sulforaphane and moringa, we have a protocol to create a powerful aqueous extract of moringa, affectionately known as moringa Tea. I know, I know it sounds fancy, but it really isn’t. Pretty much anybody can throw this aqueous extract together. The amazing too, is there is research done on this exact “recipe” - Done by Dr. Fahey and colleagues of course, but we know that we can get a pretty reliable dose of moringin using this method.
So, about the moringa powder. It’s pretty much dried and crushed moringa leaves. You can either make your own from moringa trees that grow close to you - or you can purchase the powder online or at your local healthfood store. We don’t usually promote brands on this channel, and we never take sponsorships, but make sure your brand or source of moringa is reliable.You want to make sure the powder is pure and processing techniques are sound. We like this KuliKuli brand that is easily available online.
You will need:
A jar or something you can shake without spilling
Filtered room temperature water and
Moringa powder.
That’s it.
So, you basically put filtered water into your jar, then the correct proportion of moringa powder. Ratios are as follows:
Its a one to 100 ratio of moringa powder to water. So 1 teaspoon of moringa powder in one cup of water. For our metric friends - 1 gram of moringa powder to 100cc of water - or 5 grams of moringa powder to 8 ounces of water.
After everything is in the jar, I like to shake it a bit just to make sure the mixing was successful. You want to let the tea “steep” for at least 10 minutes, to allow the aqueous extract to extract the glucomoringing from the leaves into the water. If you have 30 minutes, that is even better as evidenced by this graph from Dr. Fahey’s study. More steeping time = more moringin, up until 30 minutes, then you've pretty much gotten it all.
After that, all you have to do is drink the tea. You don’t have to drink the sediment at the bottom, but it doesn't hurt if you do - you’ll get some extra fiber, protein and phytochemicals from it for sure!
One of the great things about this extract, is that it keeps for at least 48 hours at room temperature, or in the refrigerator. So, you could theoretically make up a large batch of “tea” which could last you 2-3 days.
You may be wondering what this stuff tastes like. It’s actually pretty tolerable - dare I say mild tasting? The cool thing too is, if you find the taste to be itchy - you can use juice instead of water. This masks the flavor a little and does NOT decrease the efficacy. As a matter of fact, in one of the studies that Dr. Fahey did in China, he used pineapple juice mixed with the dried moringa powder to mask the taste. He had to give both the moringa and the placebo, and he was able to do this using pineapple juice. He says he tried all other sorts of juices, even mango, but the pineapple worked best.
I’m so glad I found this video because dummy me has been drinking it hot! I only started drinking it a week ago so I haven’t wasted too much. Thank you for the education.
Thank you! As an asthma sufferer for most of my 66 years, I was heartened to hear of the benefits to asthma patients. Thank you again! :)
asthma is a adrenal problem /autonomous get a adrenal herbal formula
My fav is each morning I pick some fresh moringa & blend it with a banana....& I just began grinding flax seeds & adding them😇👯😘👍🏾🎶
Moringa is ubiquitous here in the Philippines and we use it often. I also make a tea each morning with turmeric, ginger, cacao,, moringa, lemon, and honey. A little bit of a lot of good stuff!
That tea sounds amazing!
Love my moringa and beets "pseudo-smoothies." Made this very way. I ALWAYS make certain to "down the dregs", as well! Talk about an energy boost! One of the best things I still practice regularly.
The "dregs" may not taste the greatest but they are the BEST when it comes to overall health! 👍
I make my green tea with local honey put it in the refrigerator next morning before filling my cooler for work I put the powder and with the ice and off to work agoThe taste is very good that way
Hi Dr. Van Dyken. I like very much your sincerity, passion and the way of your presentation. I particularly appreciate your usage of combination of science-based & practical, easy to understand approach. Anyhow, my question is as follows: How about adding some (i.e. 1/2 teaspoonful) carbonate to the moringa tea. What I mean is that since the carbonate of soda will make the water more alkaline, hence more nutrients will be ripped out of moringa.
I am very impressed with Dr. Van Dyken.
Your Moringa Powder should be bright Green if not it has been Dyhridrated at a high temperature.
Not sure what that means. Most green leaves, even bright green ones, lose their color when they are slowly air dried.
MORINGA powder is RIGHT colour, if you want THE bright colour then get A VERY young leaf. Mature/dry leaf will be always darker colour, like her own EXACTLY 💯. 👌💞🧚♀️
I have some very lovely Moringa powder that is bright green. It’s absolutely the way to glow😉
Thank you.
SALAM...SO GOOD MEM
I WAS LOOKING FOR TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE MORINGA TEA....TO DAY I KNEW FROM YOUR VIDEO LECTURE. THANK YOU
Thanks. I. Needed that specific information.
And demonstration.
Try a half cup of warm milk, with a 1/3 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of Maringa. yumm so good.
Love your videos and new to Moringa. Always liked you saying you were a "surgeon by trade". Miss that bit !!
Thank you for this video,I wanted to know how to drink it🇨🇦💞🇨🇦💞
Thank you for the info, now I know to drink it cold. Michele
Can using moringa (powder or fresh leaves?) as a 2nd ferment in kefir production work also???
That would mean AFTER the ~24 hour first ferment with kefir grains in typically whole organic or sometimes raw cow’s milk, a 2nd ferment after straining out the grains can be done with fruits or herbs to further multiply the probiotics.
I would also like to add it to my chickens’ daily fermented grains? I’ve just got some seeds I will be planting & carefully protecting from next winter’s Zone 9 frosts.❤️
Very informative thank you. 🍵
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing
Great video, thanks.
in my country Indonesia moringa is exported to Europe at a price of 12💲dollars 1 kilograms

up
We put moringa in all soups.
Definitely gonna try it!!!! Can you comment on Berberine?
Maybe a bit put into a meal or two. Side effects found in long term study from Denmark are horrific for some. I opt out thank you.
Yeah , ja shakit 2getitAll :) ;) kidin .
Which one is better to take moringa in capsule or in powder form?
the capsule form has moringa powder in it. same thing
Thank u
I was using leaf powder daily and I determined that it caused diarrhea and I had to stop. I wonder if tea would be better.
So what happens if you put 2 teaspoons of moringa in a cup of water? or maybe 3/4 teaspoon. Is everything wasted? Can I mix it with my lemon/ginger water?
Could you please tell us how we can get moringa seeds powder, you mentioned in the last video that it's good for lungs.
Appreciate it 🙏
On line on eBay you can find it (Amazon too....I just don't like Amazon)...
There’s a brand Kuli Kuli it’s organic and fairly inexpensive. The Dr. Fahey she mention in on the board and also did research on broccoli as well. Good luck, hope this helps.
which better , moringa oil or moringa leaf ?
Can we pour the mixture through a Drip coffee filter setup? Thank you! Would a little Honey or Organic Maple Syrup ruin the benefits?
Nice. Do you happen to know if there's any heat sensitive compound in chanca piedra as well? to be honest it's the first time I've heard about this even though I do read NCBI studies regularly and they forgot to mention that part about heat. Thanks for that! Something unrelated, do you know if there's proof that the alkaloids in cineraria maritima could cause harm to the eye when applied as eye drop? I've been trying to decide whether I should use that for my dry eye condition.
Can you do a video on Graviola?
Taking raw leaves juice by pounding, Is that beneficial ? Which one has the most bio available for body, Raw leaves juice or powdered form?
Can one blend fresh moringar leaves and drink ?.
How about lemon?
Hello from Malaysia. May I ask. Can you eat raw moringga leaves?
Boron and a balance of copper helps depression.
I have 2 Moringa trees in my garden.
I would like to know a recipe for fresh leaves of moringa.
All the videos speak about powder. I want to know how to prepare it from fresh leaves that I pick from the trees in my garden
Hi! So nice that you have Moringa trees in your garden!! You can put in in a curry, stir fry, or soup, or put it in your salad. You can put it in a smoothie. Basically, you can eat it any way you would eat green leafy vegetables.
I eat them right off the tree. They smell nutty. Or I put them in my smoothie,or with my eggs.
What if you just mix the powder into water and drink it all immediately?
Why not consume the raw powder using blate papes? So much quicker and less fuss.
is staming the same as boiling?
Please, what exactly MORINGIN in moringa does to our body?
I tried to search but can't get clear explanation.
Please!!! who knows more than GOOGLE??? 💞🧚♀️
I’m using the tea, so hot water but not boiling. Am I getting anything through this process?
Yes, absolutely!
So does it mean that raw moringa leaves in salads or chutneys also do not work.
Her point is, I think, don’t HEAT it unless you eat your salads hot.
Your 1:100 ratio of Moringa to water chart doesn’t make sense. 8 ounces of water is 227cc. Why don’t you just say 5ml of Moringa to 250ml water “for your metric friends”
ULI :)
I think it would be a mistake for you to assume Americans understand that 28.35 grams = 1 ounce & 455 grams = 1 lb. PS No, Moringa tea doesn't sound fancy. All that other stuff like the peer reviewed paper and the chemistry, now that was fancy. LOL
Tastes like grassoline 😂,, jk it’s actually fine(ish).
It’s a bit of an acquired taste, but always grassy 🤓
Make a gallon of green tea with local honey put it in the fridge overnight add powder in the morning and you’re good to go
Can one blend fresh moringar leaves and drink ?.
Yes❤
