In India, Moringa is called “Shobhanjana,” meaning “very auspicious tree,” because of its multiple uses and benefits. All parts of the Moringa tree — seeds, pods, leaves, flowers, and roots — are edible, and loaded with nutrients. Moringa leaves are higher in protein than legumes, making the plant an important nutritional source, with 25 percent protein and 25 percent fiber per serving. The plant is considered a powerful superfood, and one of the most nutrient-dense plants on earth. This drought-resistant tree helps support immunity and metabolism.
What sets ORGANIC INDIA Moringa apart?
ORGANIC INDIA takes every avenue to operate in a way that is Beyond Sustainable, for both the planet and the amazing partners we work with. Our Moringa is grown, harvested and prepared in adherence to the following principles and practices:
- Small Family Farmers. Ethical partnerships are the heart and soul of our company. We contract with small, family-owned farms across India and purchase crops at premium market price. Most of our partners have been with us for more than ten years, and each is an integral part of our herbal family. As indispensable members of our team, we provide all of our farmers health insurance and ongoing training by agricultural experts who are at the cutting edge of organic and regenerative farming—a no-brainer for us, but an unfortunately unheard of practice in the industry.
- Regenerative Agriculture. We are deeply rooted in agriculture that is beyond sustainable—it’s regenerative. What this means is our farming practices not only preserve the land, they make it better. Regenerative means replenished soil, improved biodiversity, enhanced water conservation, and increased carbon sequestration. We look beyond our crop to the whole earth and our responsibility to it as a healthy conscious living company.
- Sustainable Production. All of our herbal teas and supplements are produced in our LEED Platinum certified production facility in India, which is a marvel of top-tier sustainable design, construction and operations.

Traditional Use of Moringa
Moringa has long been used in Ayurvedic, Unani and other traditional systems of sub-Himalayan countries for its health benefits. The tree is also called “Shingu” or “arrow,” because the Vedics believed that it quickly reaches the body’s deepest tissues. It is also referred to as a “Wonder Tree” for its ability to grow in drought-like conditions. It has been used as both a health remedy for everything from skin health to sugar metabolism and a green superfood due to its nutritional content and whole-body benefits. It has also been traditionally used to purify water.
Where is Moringa grown?
