Moringa Seeds

---

People eat the seeds for many different health purposes believing that the seeds improve vision, help with insomnia, contributes to faster weight loss and provides relief from headaches.  Some people peel off the outer layer and eat 2 or 3 seeds a day. They believe that it helps their diabetic condition. 

The  seeds are not to be eaten on an empty stomach.  Eating too many seeds can cause a laxative effect. If one chooses to eat Moringa seeds for long term, it is recommended not to exceed 3 or 4 seeds per day.   

It is believed that Moringa seeds are very high in Oleic Acid which is linked to reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease through its ability to lower cholesterol levels and reduce atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).  It is claimed that the seeds may help regulate blood glucose levels which may be helpful for diabetics.  The seeds are also considered a good source of  omega 3 and omega 6 EFA’s.  They may also be  a rich source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and iron.  Some studies have claimed the seeds have an antibacterial effect. 

People have told me that eating Moringa seeds gives them energy and helps curb their appetite. I notice a calm alertness and sense of wellbeing from eating the seeds.  Combined with Moringa leaves, these two are a treasure trove of nutrients, possibly the closest thing to a multivitamin in a single whole food source.

Note:  We are not recommending to anyone that they eat  Moringa Oleifera seeds. We enjoy harvesting and eating them. We would recommend that  unless you harvest your own, do not eat any without first finding out how they are grown to ensure they have not been grown or sprayed with chemicals  or pesticides.  

Our seeds from Africa are all natural and have not been sprayed or treated with any chemicals.
