SAUTÉED MORINGA LEAVES

Moringa tree is called the Drumstick tree / Miracle tree or the Tree of Life. It is a superfood used for developing immunity and healing purposes for thousands of years. Every part of the tree is used for some or the other healing purposes. Its leaves, flowers as well as fruits are all edible .

The leaves can be used in raw form or can be dried and powdered or juiced out or cooked to make vegetable or sprinkled in salads and soups.

Moringa leaves have 7 times more vitamin C than oranges and 15 times more potassium than bananas.

They are very rich in calcium, potassium, minerals and amino acids. They should be consumed in small quantity as they generate heat.

With so many seasonal flu and viruses / viral fevers, cold and cough playing havoc in our lives and breaking down our immune system, this powerful herbal decoction acts like a magic potion. It is simple to make, and requires just two herbs. Even healthy people can drink it and boost their immunity. It is tried and tested and is also recommended in Ayurveda. Make it and experience its benefits yourself!!

I have been making this decoction for years. Whenever my kids fall ill I make this decoction and give it to every member of my family. By having this decoction, even the healthy members don’t get infected as it boosts immunity to a great extent.

I have specifically made this video as there is a rise in viruses all over the world and around us. The only remedy left (apart from maintaining good hygiene and sanitization) is to boost one’s immunity. Have fresh fruits and vegetables, eat freshly made home cooked food and if you are down with flu, try this herbal plant based decoction.

Microgreens

Microgreens are vegetables ,herbs, pulses, lentils or grains greens harvested just after a pair of leaves have developed. They are more than sprouts but less than saplings typically ranging anywhere between 3 cm to 10 cm varying according to plant type.

Microgreens are quite in fashion these days. With the increase in deficiency of vitamins and minerals and increase in cancer in humans, they are in high demand.

Microgreens are packed with nutrients and are rich in antioxidants. Because they have to be eaten raw, there is no loss of nutrients (as they are not cooked). They come under vegan category.
