- John from www.okraw.com shows you how to harvest and dry moringa powder so it could be considered a raw food. Learn about the processing techniques that the industry uses to process morniga. You will also learn about interesting facts about moringa along the way.
Hi John, great video and info about the Moringa. I just started growing this plant in Merida (Mexico) and invested in the UV light system to sanitize it without heat. Thanks a lot for your help.
Moringa's health properties make it one of the most nutritionally valuable plants in the world!
thank you JOhn for this very informative video on moringa, exactly what I needed. I start to grow it now and hopefully will be making my own soon.
Love the stuff! My friend has a huge moringa tree in his back yard, so lately I've been making them a big part of my daily green juice! Thanks for all the awesome videos John, You're the best!
Great video thank you very much! Today I purchased 10 Moringa trees and planted them and can't tell you how excited I am. I'm also looking to getting an Oil Extractor to get the Moringa Oil out of the seeds. Cheers!
Thank you for your lovely videos..learnt so much from them.
Ive got about 10 trees in my backyard, so good for you!
Hi Michelle, That's a lot of Moringa! How do you cook it? We often eat it as a side with rice and whatever, but my favorite is a moringa broth made with chicken stock and pearl onions.
The uv light sounds good i have one i use in my business that i will use thanks for the cool idea
Very informative video, well executed. Thank you.
Moringa become famous when many Filipino migrate in around the world. Filipino share to other citizens that the MALUNGAY/MALUNGGAY/MORINGA CAN BE A GOOD VIAND OR ULAM, we know that medicinal but only in the Philippines The Malungay is food. All the ancient tribes in the Philippines used it as medicine and ulam down these Generation. It is good dish pas for me Chicken Moringa in coconut milk, its yummy promise try it, it is my favorite dish we call it Ginataang Manok sa Malungay. Tinolang Manok with Malungay. Thank you Sir . More power.
We have 4 Moringa trees that we grew from cuttings. They grow extremely fast here in Southern California, 4 - 8 inches a week, once you put them in the ground. We eat the freshly picked leaves and the pods all the time. The leaves boiled in 1/2 water and 1/2 chicken stock makes a wonderful green vegetable. We add onions, too.
If the leaves are very dark, that just means they had been on the tree a long time. The new growth leaves are light green.
I think the lighter colored leaves taste better.
Moringa leaves freeze well too if you squeeze as much air as possible out of the freezer bag. They have a long freezer life.
Wow, I just heard of Moringa being a "Super Slim Down" food on The View last week, and this video was made over 2 years old. John you really know your stuff. Thanks for the very informative video! Peace out, Michelle
Thank you for your tutoring viveo, it helps a lot!
Just personally ‘discovered’ Moringa (Daun Kelor) recently and have been fascinated by all the benefits and how common it is - in some parts of the world - notably the tropics - and have been incorporating it into my diet more and more as opportunities present themselves. I love it. Great taste and I ‘feel’ better. (Placebo effect probably)
Yesterday I found a resto on the beach that had both steamed Daun Kelor AND Kelor smoothies on the menu so I ordered both! In fact I had two Kelor smoothies! The smoothy was made with Kelor, banana, lime, and a bit of liquid jaggery. (Location: I’m on the western coast of the island of Lombok in the Indonesian Archipelago - where Moringa grows everywhere and is a wild indigenous plant.)
sorry to say this time around John is making a generalization about one taste from that tree that is NOT true. here in Florida these trees grow everywhere. I have a Moringa O. tree and the leave are tender milder tasting than spinach and not bitter at all so please dont be discouraged from eating them just because he says one particular kind seems bitter to him. this has a beautiful light spinach like taste and yes the tree hes standing in front of does not look like the beautiful tasting oleifera we have down here. i highly encourage you to eat these raw, or throw bunch of handfuls into your omelette in the morning. its amazing! even throw them in the juicer. and you dont need expensive dehydrator to dry these. clean them, throw them on your counter spaced apart, they will be dry in a mere few days, no effort :) then powder them in your coffee grinder. simple as that
Do Stuff with Niki! Dear you are right and He is also right. There is one form of this plant which has. A bit bitter taste leaves and bitter drumsticks These leaves are used for feeding. Cattle which is very much useful for cattle. The seeds & fruits(beans) of Iit used for medicines
I live in crystal river fl and had a small tree and for 2 winters it would get hit by freeze ..how do u protect yours from this
I take my moringa powder in warm water, all I do is take 100gms @ of turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, keep that in a break fast table, n mix a teaspoon of it in warm water along with a tsp of moringa n honey, n have it at breakfast time, really amazing
Wonderful.
Turmeric past e
I'm going to do this too. I have all that ingredients but never tired combining it
My grandma did the same but she died very fast ! Too much of all thee stuff sent her to heaven very fast ! grandpa was behind the scam !
very interesting... good stuff.... many thanks
Fresh leaves are absolutely full of un-touched goodness and holds 4 times the amount of chlorophyll than wheat-grass.
Thanks John great video!
Thank you. Easy to understand you. And well presented.
WoW! Great to find you again, John...I'll be growing a plant pretty soon...YeS!!!! :)
Great Vid ... by the way, Moringa is a great addition to lentil soups (East Indian Dal dishes) including the long pods known as drumstick. It is not just medicinal, it is used in East Indian cooking and adds a good body of flavor to the food. Yes it is is bitter when raw, but when cooked it tastes great. I've eaten it growing up. Thanks for sharing.
You can strip the leaves much easier if you dehydrate them while still on the branches. Also, while you are dehydrating them on the branches, the branches themselves are still supplying small amounts of nutrients to the leaves that they would otherwise not be getting if you pull them off before dehydrating.
thank you so much for sharing this video, god bless you
Just bought 2 moringa seedlings because of your videos and also My grandma once used the leaves instead of more eggs when we cannot afford eggs for everybody back in the day. i guess this is how my grand parents survived WW2. it basically grow on salty tropical sand and fertilised by naturally occurring microorganism breaking down waste water. (Kacang kelur)
Great informative video. New subscriber here just wanting to know of any difference's in overall health after taking Moringa . Please make a video if possible really like that your so knowledgeable . Bless You and thanks for sharing with the world.
Hey, thanks for directing me to this video. In Hawaii we have the fresh leaves at the farmer's market.
The blendtec does a great job powdering herbs!
I had a heck of a time getting galangal herb to powder with coffee grinders, so I tossed it in the blendtec, 10 minutes later it was wonderful!
thank you this is what i was looking for
Magnificant, thanks for sharing! 😀
It's commonly used in cooking like spinach on soups mostly. It's very healthy and tastes so good. Filipinos love it! We call it Malunggay.
When it is powder form how much do you add for a tea drink i have 3 trees growing at the moment my wife is Filipino and she uses it in soups
I do agree with you, MsLaburn, that John's way of taking the dehydrated leaves with his bare hands and putting it in a paperbag form who knows how clean it was is a no-no. I like his dehydrator being able to keep the leaves green in color. The simple way of airdrying it in the shade, at room temperature and in a screened room(protect it from bugs and flies) is what makes the leaves dark. This is the natural way of drying it and no artificial intervention.
Love it going to grow my own thanks
Great natural food. Chopping down a tree is destructive and unnecessary. Leave the tree. Harvest the leaves.
Sonny Berry I could see why it might look bad but as it turns out cutting/pruning the tree is actually good for it. They grows back sturdier and with bigger leaves.
+Sonny Berry
Moringa's need pruning. Chopping it down to 3 feet is necessary for perennial Moringa trees. It will sprout new limbs, and keep growing. Truly an amazing tree. If you grow one yourself, be sure you prune it regularly- otherwise, it will resemble the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, except that it grows in excess of 15-20 feet per year
Sonny Berry ďc
Thanks..., good to know
I heard the whole tree is nutritional & can be used. Is this true? thank you, Canea
Wow thank you. Have food, direct clear information.
Very nice video, I am just learning about Moringa and I will make an effort to plant on in my back yard in Cabo Verde Island and use it as often as I can. Good job. thanks. Any advice on how to make the tea?
Amazing!!!
Hi John, You said a lot about the dehydration process but not much about the plants properties and benefits. I have never heard of it before and am interested in its raw values. Thanks~ ha guess I can just google it.
log in to Philippine medicinal plants. God Bless
Very good info and videos...
Got a 6 foot tree that will go into my greenhouse this winter. See how that works. Got a whole bag of seeds for $5 which included postage. Can't wait to get some going. Think my solar dehydrator is a little too hot for this..it hits 238 and was actually built to distill water. Great video..Thanks.
thanks so much for sharing!! i just wish those dehydrators or high power blenders weren't as expensive!
Good technique. Like kale chop up the moriga first then rise it with a sieve or strainer. That takes away some of the worst bitter.
Superb overview.
Tell me about using UV on the plants after picking them to clean it, I would like more detail of how you do this please.
This is good info for me to know.. My future wife is a Srilankan and she has a Moringa tree in her backyard. I've tried both cooked beans and the leaves and it tastes delicious.
Love you guys! I Buy all my Organic Powders from them including Moringa Powder , they are great :)
Thanks soo much, really helpful.
thanks for this information,
Hey great video!I am wondering were in Cali I can grow this and what kind of atmosphere it enjoys? Also how hot do u think the moringa gets when blending? I was thinking maybe there is another way like stone grinding before consuming? Thanks so much! Heather
Where is being done at,? May I ask,? In the USA,? Or Abroad etc.? Thanks for sharing very interesting etc. Now in 2019 I just learned about Moringa 's Health Benefits etc.
Morninga is a tropical tree. You may be able to grow it outside in the summer, but you must move it inside in the winter.
Energy can not be destroyed only redirected. Fact of science truth. Raw, not Raw still get what you need from the source.
What do you mean by the leaves " will store up to 1 year before it should be used?" In my country, we go outside pick the leaves and make tea
What do you know about 3rd world country, for years we have been using and have to tree in our backyard , you all now discover the use of it so don't knock what you don't know
Map of Asia moo
Meaning after you blend it to a powder, it will remain good for up to 1 year before throwing it away
Fabulous,I got a mess of seeds. Can't wait till they germinate!
Thanks for sharing...🙌
Great video
Been growing moringa for more than 20 yrs now. All the techniques you see here are relevant. So just absorb it folks! You're here to learn. You can always ask but irrelevant speculations will never give you any of the vitamins this wonder tree provides. Chill!
Thanks and regards man
I found some Moringa leaves at my local 99 Ranch Market. It's labeled Malangai as this is what the phillipines call them. I'm going to use these in a salad.
We call it malunggay here in the Philippines. I never thought this tree can be that magnificent!
yes, we do call moringa , "malunggay" here in the philippines. may i add that what people say about it's healing properties are all true..
iviewutoob easy to grow your own

Wowww...last summer i sale enought plant of moringa❤❤🌴🐝
I love moringa. It's so hard to get in Sydney. I fry with onion and garlic.
I love moringa leaves, young long fruits and flowers. When Im young my father used the leaves juice for my wound to stop the bleeding. But what I really miss about it, is that the TINOLANG MANOK
Great video for the caribbean to export !
John, do you have a particular company that you would recommend for buying quality moringa, that hasn't been blanched?
Both are the same as what I've read. Just that the dried moringa is more accessible being you can just pick a bottle of it at the store. Unless you live where it is grown. Here in Southern California or in Florida, you can grow them.
The dried ones can also be sprinkled into any soup, salad or dish, specially in powdered form.
Ok I looked it up, for anyone else that wants to know, these are the benefits.~
The leaves of the Moringa oleifera tree have no parallel in the plant kingdom. The Moringa tree is the most nutritious in the world, with most of its benefits stored in the small green leaves of this unassuming plant.
Known as the Tree of Life, it contains more than 90 nutrients including 40 powerful antioxidants. In fact, practically every part of the plant contains important minerals and are a good source of protein, vitamins, beta-carotene, amino acids, and various phenolics.
Moringa leaves are small, thick, and tear-drop shaped and grow rapidly as the plant matures. The leaves are strong and firm and can be easily picked from the tree’s branches.
It's leaf powder contains all eight essential amino acids required for proper protein synthesis. It is rich in flavonoids, including Quercetin, Kaempferol, Beta-Sitosterol, Caffeoylquinic acid, and Zeatin. Stacked full of nutrients, anti-oxidants, and vital proteins, it is quite possibly the most amazing botanical ever studied.
Here are just a few benefits to consuming Moringa:
Increases the body’s immune system
Provides nourishment to the brain and body
Promotes energy
Decreases anxiety, depression, and sleep related disorders
Promotes cell structure of the body
Calms, moisturizes, and nourishes the skin
Promotes the normal functioning of the liver and kidney
Contains antioxidants
Promotes a healthy circulatory system
Supports normal sugar levels
Aids in stabilizing diabetes
Aids in reducing inflammation and related conditions like arthritis
It is also very comforting to the digestive tract. People with IBS or colitis are helped greatly by it. I think it may be because Moringa is a splendid pre-biotic food, which nourishes the beneficial (probiotic) bacteria in your gut.
Hey John! I live in New York. do you think that morinda could be a good plant to grow here? I'd like to have this plant in my yard! Thanks you are a real good man...
Here's a tip to save money when processing Moringa. Instead of buying an expensive food processor to chop it into fine powder, use the nutri bullet. The nutri bullet comes with a milling blade and it works perfect for powdering things like dried moringa or tumeric. I grow Moringa in Florida and we use it every day in our smoothies (also made with the nutri bullet)
Can you prepare it like Swiss chard or kale, stir fry or sauté? Thanks.
how much do you put in smoothies
+Rawrx 4u We use about a teaspoon
How much fresh leaves should I use
Rawrx 4u ub
Would a good vinegar wash be a good idea before consuming raw? And how long does it keep raw in refrigerator?
No mention of seed pods here which are cooked all over Asia and delicious in a curry or soup.
I've tried this, but the small leaves make it a real painful process. But the end product is an amazing glowing green juice that has almost an oily texture to it. And when I say glowing, I mean GLOWING! It's unlike anything I've ever seen. Next to wheat grass the Moringa looks like it's from another planet. It's quite amazing.
Moringa Farms. Com has a great source of Moringa. They have the Moringa in powder form and capsule. They also have the oils,which is great for the hair and skin.
if you follow what you do .. Can be save for three-year ? no mold?
would love to see you review markus rothkranz powder!
What is the normal shelf life of the powder after grinding? Does the colour change after awhile or does it stays the same vibrant?
Sometimes I make green eggs(w/moringa) and ham(veggie bacon) :D
Hi! I just watch your video about moringa, i always make and drink this , i just want to know if there is an overdose eating this? Or how many spoon advisable taking this powder everyday? Thank you for sharing.
The way I dry is to remove the stalks full of leaves from the tree, make bunches and tie the stalks, +/- 15 stalks. Give them all a good rinsing in running water, Hang them in the shade stalks up, leaves down for a couple of days. Then I just rake the leaves using my fingers onto a drying tray then leave to dry out prior to grinding.
I need some moringa please
Never knew maringa tree has that much nutrients and benefits, I grew up and eat it all my life
can we share our information? you'r the best sight so far,because i prefer the dehydrator.
Thx a lot for responding :)
"Tinolang manok" with moringa looks and tastes very delicious. My mother always cook it for us. However, I'm concerned about the cooking process. The moringa along with the chicken are left to boil for a few minutes. Will there still be nutrients left?
hey john tnks bud' yuh Vy gd n herbs n holistic living ! I Ned Dis tip so Vy mush , do u sell books on herb or have herbal books recommendations many tnks to u I enjoy yuh bring smile with these videos as wel. god blessing OK...
Fresh Moringa leaves is perfect on its own as a snack- wash and dry, place in a bottle container, then pour in some asap boi powder, shake - and just enjoy, as is, or refrigerated.
Hello.. There are so many moringa in the Philippines,I am so interested to have moringa leaves dryer like yours.
At the plantages on hawai they do not take down the branches..but bend them and pluk the leaves
Hi John, i need to buy 1 dry vegetables machine for myself at home. please recommend which brand is good to use.
I need online shopping because i'm living in VietNam .
Thank you.
Yuki
Great Smoothies mixed with Ginger, Tumeric Powder, & a Dash of Black pepper, for the Tumeric etc. Coconut Oil etc etc.
I use just a wire strainer and by hand rub the dry leaves through so not to cause oxidation from a high powerd blender. I buy from Asian markets and it's not expensive. Also I don't make too much so to use after 1 or 2 months to ensure potency. Thanks for everything John I watch a lot of your videos. 👍
hey John, why do you prefer dried moringa over fresh?
nice. thanks
Great video but don't you think that the use of UV could also affect some of the essential bio molecules needed for nutrition since these UV penetration level is high for the leaves???

Hey guys. I need your help. I have a moringa tree, but finding it difficult to get a blender for it. Some blenders do not have the power and overheat. I was wondering which blender/speed/power I must look for. Thank you!
niki k , I live in Florida and am just this year hearing about Moringa tree. Sounds like just what I need for my damaged immune system. Could you send me some seeds or cuttings from your tree, whatever it takes to begin rooting one. Your tree has already been climatized to Florida so should work well for me in Central Florida? I would like to be able to eat leaves fresh off the tree or in salads and your tree sounds just right for that. Thanks for your attention.
I intend to grow this plant and dry it useing my Far infrared Sauna any thoughts on this method good or bad please comment why you think it would be good or not cheers thanks
@rumihumphrey i also wanted to mention that the leaves are delicious sautéed and in stews and while the powder looks great if your cultivating it is an unnecessary step. i eat it raw right off the plant and love it although light sauté is good. some platens i've noticed are more bitter than others, I wonder if it's the phenotype or environmental factors.
This is what I do, if I can, I rinse the trees with a hose, If not, after I cut the leaves I rinse them. Once rinsed, I pluck the leaves with a sliding motion and put the leafs over a cardboard box and dry them in the shade. Cardboard or other humidity absorbing material like canvas for kots is very important so it won't get fungus. After 4 days i put the dried leaves in a microwave tray and pass it for about 40 seconds so any bacteria will die. Then with your hands(use glove) crush the leaves.
