    25 years ago when I lived in South Africa I found Moringa selling in the local native markets used as an alternative to Spinach, one customer smiled and said that they grew up eating it and they love eating it!

    This channel saved my life. About ten years ago I suffered severe heart problems. I had no energy and consequently stayed n bed and read lots. Something guided me to your channel and what I learned put me on the road to recovery and present day full functionality. And I gradually stopped all medications. Thank you Dr. Greger. I also follow Dr. Berg for his fasting advice. I eat plant based.

    Hi Dr. Greger, I’m a big fan of yours. I’m originally from the southern part of the Philippines, we call the food basket of the country. Moringa (we natives call as calamonggay) is very common and is looked down as poor man’s food. But everyone knows it’s nutrititious. Sometimes when people get injured we even use it to cover the injury as it is more readily available than bandages.

    Always helping us find the facts within the noise. Thanks!

    Sir, in india, we eat them almost every day. 🙏🏼
  • Moringa plant is available in California and we can buy it fresh in grocery stores. I cook it in soups. We ate this everyday in my hometown everyday twice a day in my hometown, pregnant or not. Every house practically has this plant in their backyard. I can appreciate the lack of familiarity of the western world about this vegetable. It’s a delicious vegetable and people should try it
  • @chimera2116
    Should do a video on bitter melon. Those of us who have lived in Asia include it as a regular part of our diet.

    Moringa is touted as super food because it’s so easy to grow even under unfavorable climate conditions, and provide needed nutrition to under-fed or impoverished communities. A large population of the world cannot afford broccoli or spinach, and moringa could be a part of the solution to the World’s hunger problem.

    I took moringa for 2 yrs a teaspoon a day bought it in 2lb. bags at a time from the internet! My skin is still on me i never got side effects but did feel healthier, more energy! Anyway i stopped taking moringa because i found something even more potent which is lentein( hydroponically farmed duckweed)and i combine it with 50/50 chlorella spirulina tablets everyday! Its more cost effective and is tasteless as moringa does have a strong acquired taste!
  • @tamcon72
    Love the title! I'll assume it's probably better consumed as a cooked vegetable (as is traditional) than as a supplement. ThanksForPosting!
  • Thank you. 🙏🏾 I purchased Moringa in a health food store many years ago. I think I used it no more than twice. I didn’t remember why, but I was considering trying it again. But now I think I’ll just stick to broccoli 🥦
  • @polkcellar
    I don't ask myself, " is broccoli better than moringa"? Here in central california I have two moringa trees I enjoy harvesting wood and leaves from. They are very drought tolerant and the copious flowers they produce are enjoyed by many pollinators. Young (green bean like)moringa seed pods are delicious as well as it's leaves, fresh or dried. I compare it's taste to a mild mustard green. Broccoli is becoming expensive isn't it? I'm growing whatever I can now if edible. Best regards to all in these times.
  • @janicejames3005
    In the country where I was and where I live I have yet to see a broccoli plant. What I have amongst others is a moringa tree in the backyard. A handful of leaves go into the pot of chicken stew. Nobody’s skin has done strange things as far as I know, same for my mother and grandmother. Maybe past generations should have sat quietly and waited for the development of evidence based medicine.? There is an arrogance in your utterances that I find disquieting. But then again no one is compelling me to listen 🙄
  • Thank you for the information. I love listening to your videos & reading your books and sharing what I learn from your videos and books with my friends and family. Thank you again, you are a Star.
  • @skuntalar3470
    in the Philippines, the trees are abundant since they grow pretty much everywhere and are quite sturdy. Easy to add fresh leaves to many dishes/shakes
  • @Hiltie1
    Dr.Gregor you are amazing and authentic and humble.
