Premium Dried Moringa Leaves - Natural Superfood Powder

🌿 WHERE YOUR MORINGA COMES FROM

Our premium moringa leaves are sourced directly from small family farms in Nicaragua's Pacific coastal regions, specifically the Managua and Granada departments where the tropical dry climate and volcanic-enriched soil create ideal growing conditions for nutrient-dense moringa trees. These fast-growing "miracle trees" thrive in Nicaragua's mineral-rich volcanic soil, producing leaves with exceptional protein content and bioavailable nutrients.

Specific Source Locations:

• Pacific Coastal Plains: Dry tropical climate with distinct wet/dry seasons
• Volcanic Soil Influence: Mineral-rich soil from ancient volcanic activity
• Farm Size: 2-4 hectare family operations with moringa tree groves
• Variety: Moringa oleifera (traditional drumstick tree variety)
• Growing Method: Organic cultivation without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
