Health Benefits of Moringa Leaf Powder

The moringa leaf powder is a bright green colour with a fresh flavour described as similar to spinach. It is a rich source of fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals.

Even a small serving, 5 grams, provides:
leaf 2.4g fibre (10% of UK adult Recommended Daily Allowance).
Fibre plays an essential role in digestive heath and weight management. As fibres are not broken down, and soluble fibres absorb water, they add bulk to the diet and make you feel fuller for longer. High fibre foods are therefore a great way to manage appetite and reduce overall calorie intake.

leaf 95mg calcium (14% of UK Reference Nutrient Intake, RNI).
Calcium plays a part in many functions of the body, including muscle contraction; blood clotting; transmission of information via nervous system, and development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth.

leaf 5mg Vitamin E (166% RNI Females, 125% RNI Males).
Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and maintains cell structure by protecting cell membranes against damage from free radicals.

leaf 300ug (retinol equivalent) Vitamin A (50% RNI Females, 43% RNI Males). Vitamin A is necessary for vision, normal functioning of the immune system, and healthy skin.

Moringa leaf powder is also notably high in protein, 23g per 100g powder. It contains all eight of the essential amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Essential amino acids cannot be made within the body and must be provided from our food. Moringa can be used to deliver superior nutrition when baking; for example, cookies have been successfully baked with moringa powder substituted for 10% of refined flour.
