Hi Pugo,

I've never eaten Moringa. Can you liken it to anything that you've eaten previously.......like spinach, silver beet or bok choi?

Well it tastes like a vegetable nice favor, it doesn't stand out.. Most of the time I see it in soups. I have never eaten it alone it was always served with other vegetables and meat. So I am not really sure.. Sorry

I keep thinking that I would like to plant a section of my land with a stand of Moringa, it has a market value in the Philippines even if it isn't high, But shoot it does grow very fast.

thee question is to find a high paying commerical use for it .....

[Pugo]

Actually there is, it is made into a power and capsules then sold in health food stores, it is made into a prized oil for cosmetics, the list goes on and on. This is the greatest thing since sliced bread.. the way many people look at it.

I never speak much about for the sole reason, I really want a piece of the action on that market.

Its called "Malungay" here in the Philippines. They put it in flour to enrich noodles and pasta. Large noodle manufactures buy from huge moringa plantations found here in Luzon. We have one in our backyard and we mix it in all our soup based dishes. It has iron, potassium and multivitamins, especially vitamin A so I feed them to my tilapias too.
