I have always been told NOT to cook Moringa leaves above 47 degrees as it will destroy most of the nutrients, however you may stir them in your recipes or sprinkle the powder on your foods.

where do you buy moringa leaves?
Swathi Iyer says
check in Asian stores.

Muringa undankil marunnu vendaa. Eat muringa Ila in any form everyday...No further medicines required

The moringa leaves are an excellent source of nutrition. People commonly boil the tiny leaflets and eat them like spinach. This will help them in increasing nutrition content in the body.

I am often anemic when I am pregnant too and I agree, taking another huge pill stinks! (I love the proverb - perfect!LOL) If you aren't vegetarian liver is also a good source of iron. Thanks for sharing this with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop!

Hi Swathi and welcome to the hearth and soul hop! I always love when new bloggers join in so I can check out their blogs and learn about how they cook. I am now following your lovely blog. I too have always been a bit low in the iron and is it any wonder that I crave the dark greens like chard and kale? I thank you so much for introducing me to this new green. I am lucky to have a lovely Indian foods store near at hand and I will go and see if they have it there. Thanks again for linking to the hearth and soul hop. All the best! Alex@amoderatelife

Swathi says
Indie.Tea@ Joyti you can increase the taste by adding more onion and use olive oil. Since muring ila has bitter taste it needs to compensated with onion or coconut.
