In some simple steps you can make fresh nutrient packed moringa powder for yourself, let’s learn:

Moringa Powder Obtained from Moringa Seeds:

1.     Well, the very first step to make moringa powder from the moringa seeds is to harvest the seeds. Moringa seeds will be found in its long seed pods. The seed pods that you collect must be matured enough, i.e., dried out and turned brown, this makes the whole process easy, simply cut off the pods and crack them open to remove seeds.
2.     Dry out the seeds by spreading them on a clean surface, leaving them in a warm and well-ventilated space. And let them dry until they turn brittle, this may take several days.
3.     Removing the seed coat is important, once they have dried out rub the seeds between fingers, this will separate the white kernel from the hard outer shell. If you miss to remove the seed coat it will affect the texture of the powder created.
4.     Grinding the seeds properly is important to make perfect textured powder, for that you should grind the seed in small batches to make sure you avoid overheating while using the blending machine.
5.     The process is not over until you have stored the powder in a cool and dry play away from direct sunlight. If you use an airtight container, moringa powder can be stored for several months.

Moringa Powder Made From Moringa Leaves:

1.     Harvesting moringa is an easy task. A lot of people simply choose to chop off a whole branch, given fast growth properties of the tree itself, however if you are packing up the powder for gifting someone or for your daily morning tea, snap them off by picking one by one. Picking up mature leaves is wise as they contain more nutrients than the younger one.
2.     Blanch the leaves, a lot of people choose to avoid this step worrying that it might deteriorate the nutritional value, however it is wise to blanch the leaves in order to avoid any bacterial or pathogenic infection.
3.     Dry the leaves properly. Powder can be made by only dry leaves. Sun drying the leaves is a good option while there are people who choose to oven dry the leaves in order to save their time.
4.     Gather the leaves once dried properly and blend them into a fine jar. A good blender will give better results, I generally grind the leaves for 15-20 seconds to get a good texture.
5.     Finally strain the grounded powder and then store it properly. Straining will enhance the texture of the powder making it smoother and filtering some accidental twigs.
