MORINGA-THE GREEN SUPER FOOD

Moringa oleifera is the most nutritional plant that is present on Mother Earth often called the drumstick tree, the miracle tree, the ben oil tree, or the horseradish tree.

Moringa has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties and health benefits. It also has antifungal, antiviral, antidepressant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Chia is actually a member of the Mint family and is native to Mexico. Chia seeds are consumed like whole grains, but they’re pseudo-grain. That means they’re the carbohydrate-rich seeds of a nongrass plant. When chia seeds encounter liquid, they expand and form a thick gel.

Chia seeds were said to be a staple of Aztec and Mayan diets but were later banned because of their ritualistic religious use. Over the last century or so, they’ve enjoyed a minor following but recently made a comeback on the market as a potential superfood.
