Product Review: It’s Moringa

ItsMoringaLogo.jpg
It’s Moringa is an nutritional supplement made from the pulverized leaf of the Moringa Tree.  Had I not been given this sample to test out, I probably would never have heard of this product, which in my Internet research is being touted as the super hero of the health world. This nutritionally-packed product hails from Africa and is slated to have (per tablespoon) 46 antioxidants, protein, iron, calcium, amino acids, plus a wealth of essential vitamins and minerals. Lose Weight, Feel Great!  It’s Vegan & Gluten-Free!

It’s Moringa is not the only company starting to market this product – so chances are we will be hearing more about the Moringa plant in the near future.  Perhaps I am ahead of the curve then on knowing about this and you can say that you read it here first.

Review:  Despite the fact that they are calling their product the It’s Moringa Superfood Tea, it is not a tea.  It is an herbal product, but has no camellia sinensis.  Much like Matcha, this product is a powder.  The powder is so fine that it diffuses right through the teabag that they sell it in.  Should you choose to buy any Moringa, I suggest purchasing the canister, as it clearly doesn’t work cleanly in teabag form. 

For lack of better description, the taste of Moringa is extremely green and leaf-like.  It tastes similar to Nettles. Again, as a “tea” (or infusion) it’s not my favorite taste but this product is versatile.  Their website suggests using it in soups and stews and shakes, so I tried it out as part of my morning breakfast shake. I added a tablespoon of Moringa to my usual recipe of soy milk, bananas and wheatgerm.  It was a fast and easy way to boost the nutritional content of shake.  I am considering buying a canister, because I’ve been looking for a whole foods supplement and I hate taking pills. Or maybe their cookies!

About the Company:  With 2/3rds of the world suffering from either undernourishment or malnutrition, It’s Moringa has partnered up with Vitamin Angels and Nourish America to help end this crisis.  A portion of each product goes to these organizations, so you don’t just nourish yourself, but you help to nourish others at the same time.
