Quick answers to common moringa and greens questions. Each links to a fuller guide.
What is moringa?
The leaf of the drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera), called murungai keerai in Tamil — a nutrient-dense green. See the moringa nutrition guide.
Does moringa really have 25× the iron of spinach?
That figure compares dried powder to fresh spinach, which is misleading. Moringa is a good iron source, but not 25× a normal meal. See moringa myths vs facts.
Fresh, dried or powder — which is best?
Fresh for flavour and vitamin C, powder for convenience, dried for broths. See fresh vs dried vs powder moringa.
Is moringa safe? Can I take it in pregnancy?
Leaves as food are generally safe; avoid root, bark and flowers, and check with a doctor before supplements — especially in pregnancy or on medication. See moringa dosage and cautions.
Can moringa help with afternoon energy at work?
As an iron- and vitamin-C-rich green it's a useful part of a workday diet, but it's food, not a fix for diagnosed fatigue. See murungai keerai for workday energy.
What are the different types of keerai?
Murungai, arai, mulai, siru, pasalai and more — each with its own use. See the South Indian keerai guide.
What's a no-caffeine afternoon drink with some nutrition?
A warm greens-based broth such as Keeraikadai Dip Soup. See Dip Soup vs coffee.
