The story of our moringa

The home of our moringa is an ecologically clean area near Lake Abaya in southern Ethiopia. Here it is produced by a local farming community of women farmers involved in our supplier's fair-trade programme. The women's self-help group grows, harvests and gently dries the moringa in the shade of well-ventilated drying kilns. This produces a commodity of the highest possible organic quality.

How moringa powder is produced

Moringa is harvested in the morning or evening so that it does not lose its vitamins and minerals due to direct sunlight. Whole twigs are collected and transported in aerated baskets to the processing site. They are then washed in a mild salt solution and clean water to remove any dirt or microbes. After washing, the twigs are stripped of their leaves and dried in a well-ventilated room. The farmers crush the already dry moringa leaves in the traditional way and sift the powder through a sieve to make it really fine.

The moringa powder is stored in airtight containers, where it awaits export directly to Brno. Part of the production is destined for sale on the Ethiopian local market, which the farmers themselves provide, and is a source of additional income for them.
