Moringa is not very well known around the globe and so people are very inquisitive when doing their research. We can all learn from this process. In the column to the right you will see some of the questions asked. Just click on the link to see the answers.
We begin with Sky's question below:
How is your powdered moringa dried? What
tests do you do to the product when it comes in? Thanks for the
info.
Sky
Our moringa comes from organic farms
where no artificial anything is used to grow the plant. Moringa
has to be shade dried or sun will decrease nutrient
value.
We test each shipment when it comes in
for salmonella, ecoli, coliform, mold and we perform standard
plate count. Standard plate count is the measurement of overall
bacterial activity in the test substance. A Rule of Thumb is that
a plate count of 100,000 or less is OK for human consumption. If
there is a count of a few hundred thousand or several million,
you know something is growing in there that may impact the
consumer and should not be sold. If there is a high plate count
it's likely that you will probably find one of the things we
mentioned above, like ecoli or salmonella. Our dried, powdered,
Moringa leaf usually tests between 5,000 to 30,000 on a standard
plate count with no evidence of pathogens.
