What is moringa?
Moringa oleifera is a tree that
provides valuable nutrients and energy resources, and stands out for its medicinal properties, as it
fights fatigue, cholesterol, inflammatory processes and prevents infections.
Moringa is a
superfood with a high nutritional value and has a variety of healing properties. This
tree from India is also known as Morango and its main curiosity is that it eats almost everything, although in the
leaves it is where most of the nutrients are concentrated.
Benefits of moringa
Moringa is a
medicinal plant that contains large amounts of vitamins and minerals, such as iron, carotenoids or vitamin C and antioxidants.
Iron, calcium or magnesium keep our bones and muscles healthy,
help fight fatigue and give us energy.
Its
high concentration of fiber helps us
regulate the sugar in the blood, reduce anxiety and control the intake of sweets.
In addition, it has been shown to
have anti-inflammatory properties and to be effective in regulating diabetes and lowering cholesterol levels and preventing cardiovascular problems.
Ideas with moringa

3 to 5 g per day and can be taken in powder or by infusing its leaves.
There are thousands of recipes! At Montsià rice we present you the most original recipes with moringa. One way to introduce moringa powder is to add it to creams or risottos. An example is a
vegetable cream or a mushroom risotto with powdered moringa and carnaroli rice.
Another way to prepare moringa is raw.
