Drying Moringa Leaves - Microwave Method

  • Wash the fresh moringa leaves thoroughly. Spread them in a single layer in a microwave-safe dish. This ensures even drying.

  • Microwave the leaves on high for 3-4 minutes, checking periodically. The leaves should be dry and crumbly but not burnt.

Drying Moringa Leaves - Sunlight Method

  • Wash the fresh moringa leaves thoroughly. Spread them in a single layer on a clean, white cloth. A white cloth helps prevent discoloration.
  • Place the cloth with the leaves in direct sunlight. Allow the leaves to dry completely, which may take several hours or days depending on the climate. Sun-dried leaves may have a slightly different color than microwaved leaves.

Tea Preparation

  • Place 2 teaspoons of dried moringa leaves into a tea diffuser or infuser. This contains the leaves while allowing the flavor to infuse into the water.

  • Pour 3 cups of hot (not boiling) water over the tea diffuser. Using slightly cooler water prevents bitterness and preserves the delicate flavor of the moringa.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • In the microwave method, the leaves will be very hot. Allow them to cool down before packing in an airtight container.
  • If drying under the sun, avoid windy places to prevent the leaves from blowing away.
  • The drying method (sun vs. microwave) doesn't significantly affect the taste.
  • Moringa's effectiveness depends on individual health goals and dosage. For weight loss, consistent use is key. For blood pressure management, combine moringa with a balanced diet and nutrition.

Expert Tips

  • For optimal freshness, dry moringa leaves in small batches.
  • Store dried moringa powder in a dark, airtight container to preserve its nutrients and flavor.
  • To enhance the flavor of your dishes, lightly roast the dried moringa leaves before grinding them into powder.

Storage Instructions

  • Store dried moringa leaves or powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place.
  • Properly stored, dried moringa can last for several months.

I love to cook the most authentic way. Most of my recipes are cooked either in claypot or kalchatti / soapstone. They are extremely beneficial as they retain the nutrients. Before cooking a recipe in these vessels I do in-depth research and make sure it is doable in any modular kitchen.
