Why are you called Kuli Kuli?

Kuli-kuli is a peanut snack popular in West Africa. Nigerien women showed our founder Lisa Curtis how to make a delicious and naturally energizing snack with kuli-kuli and moringa leaves.

Why is my moringa brown?

Moringa is an agricultural product, so there is some variation in color and texture depending on the weather, time of year harvested, and how much water is used to grow the trees. The nutritional value remains the same!

Does baking or cooking reduce the nutrient content of moringa?

As with most foods, heating moringa powder can reduce some of the vitamins. Luckily, moringa is so nutrient-rich that heating it will still provide you with nutritional benefits. For best results, you can also stir additional moringa into your foods after they have been cooked.

For most adults, 2-10 grams of moringa each day is a great place to start. We recommended starting out with 1 tsp, and increasing up to 1 tbsp of our pure moringa powder per day if desired.

We recommend 1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon of moringa each day.
