Miracle super food, Anan'ambo!

Happy to be back here to blog more nutritious food for all my readers.
I do not know, how many of you out there can grow or buy it fresh or have it dried in a sealed bag but here is my favourite green leaf power food. Moringa Oleifera or we call it anan'ambo.
This plant will give you so much nutrition for the day that really you can just have it as a full meal. You can grow one tree and you will harvest for years and years without thinking about buying yogurt or milk or carrot again ;)
In my garden in Mauritius, I have the plant as hedges! People over there told me that they do not eat that "thing" anymore because it is food for "di mun miser" which simply means food for the poor people. Well, if poor people can get to it, yes, it has so much nutrition and you do not need to prepare it much but eat it fresh as it is or boil it quickly for a soup and that is how "di jun miser" survived!


This is how my Mom taught me how to pick the leaf of its twigs, wash well afterwards and put in different size boxes to store in the freezer.


Do check on the net what this plant can do to your health! It's really is a miraculous plant!
