Moringa powder is a fine, green powder made from dried leaves of the Moringa oleifera, a fast-growing tree native to parts of South Asia and now cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions. It's widely used as a culinary ingredient for its earthy flavor, vibrant color, and versatility.
Its flavor can be strong on its own but becomes pleasant and balanced when combined with other ingredients.
