Bees are buzzing around these beautifully fragrant moringa flowers this morning. You can mix the Moringa flowers in salads or fry the flowers in Moringa oil and eat the fried Moringa flowers as a snack. Especially popular is Moringa oleifera tea. The flowers sit in hot water for at least five minutes to let the distinctive flavor brew. Long before its recent appearance on the commercial market, Moringa oleifera has been used for generations for its highly nutritious profile and powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and tissue-protective properties as well as to treat to treat and prevent diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, anemia, arthritis, liver disease, and respiratory, skin, and digestive disorders. Its popularity has been mostly in the form of a natural leaf powder supplement, although it’s pods, root, bark, flower, seeds and fruits are also edible. Moringa literally grows wild all over Haiti and people, including me, use as live fencing. It is extremely easy to propagate both from seed as well as cuttings. Literally cut a branch and stick it in the ground. Let that sink in next time you pay $20 USD per ounce of old, dry, powdered leaves 😜 #growninhaiti #moringa #flowers #edible #nutritional #beneficial #haiti #ayiti #abundance #foodsecurity #livefencing #delicious #reforestation #preservation
