Overview
Moringa oleifera has earned its reputation as a "superfood" with good reason: gram for gram, it contains more protein than eggs, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, and more vitamin A than carrots. The global moringa market is growing rapidly, driven by demand from health food brands, supplement manufacturers, and cosmetics companies across the US, Europe, and Asia.
Origin Direct sources moringa from certified organic farms in Ghana and Nigeria, where the tropical climate produces leaves with exceptionally high nutrient density. Our processing facilities use low-temperature drying to preserve the nutritional profile, followed by precision milling to 80–100 mesh particle size — fine enough for capsules, smoothie powders, and food formulations.
An important regulatory note: Moringa oleifera is NOT classified as a Novel Food in the EU, meaning it can be sold freely across European markets. However, following a Salmonella outbreak linked to moringa products in January 2026, FDA scrutiny has increased significantly. Our testing protocols have been enhanced to address this, with every lot tested for Salmonella, E. coli, heavy metals, and total plate count before shipment.
