My Visit to a Moringa Farm

Today I visited George on his Moringa farm in Loxahatchee, Florida. George is a herbalist, and such a great resource for information. He's one of those people who have connected with the earth, and enjoys sharing his knowledge with others.

I've never been able to go to George's farm and not leave without a wealth of new information. Today, George show my guests and I his Moringa plants in various sizes and stages of growth.

I've been growing Moringa for years and I dry and drink the leaves in tea everyday. I thought I knew about its health benefits, but George tipped me to a host new benefits and ways to use it.
Moringa leaves and Moringa tea

Moringa is native to parts of Africa and Asia but is grown all over the world. The leaves are rich in protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C and minerals.  Today I learned Moringa has about 92 vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants;


they are easy to propagate and can grow from cuttings.today I learned i can make shampoo from moringa.
