SUPER PLANT MORINGA LEAF NUTRITIONAL BREAKDOWN As more studies are done on the leaves of the Moringa Oleifera Tree, we get a clearer understanding of the nutritional breakdown of this green superfood. The leaves are most often dried and ground finely to create a nutritional powder that gram for gram may contain higher levels of important vitamins, minerals, nutrients, amino acids and plant sterols than our traditionally con- sumed food counterparts. Some of these include: Vitamin A, Calcium, Potas- sium, Protein, Iron and the essential amino acids.
