Bred Mouroum: the most nutrient-dense plant in your kitchen

Moringa oleifera has been part of Mauritius and Indian Ocean family life for generations. You probably grew up knowing it as bred mouroum — the dark green leaf that went into the dal, into the soup, into the food that nourished your family without anyone calling it a superfood.

It has always been one. Science just caught up later.

Nutura’s moringa powder is pure dried moringa leaf, sourced directly from Madagascar and packed in Mauritius. Nothing added. Nothing removed. Just moringa, in a form that dissolves into any liquid, blends into any food, and brings its full nutritional profile with it wherever it goes.

Why moringa, and why now

Moringa oleifera is among the most studied plants in nutritional science. Here is what the research consistently shows about its composition:

Iron: moringa leaves contain significantly more iron per gram than spinach. Iron is essential during pregnancy to prevent anaemia, and in the postpartum period when maternal iron stores are depleted. In a population where iron deficiency is prevalent, moringa is a practical, accessible dietary source.

Calcium: important throughout pregnancy for foetal bone development, and postpartum for bone density and breast milk mineral content.

Vitamin A: essential for immune function, skin health, and foetal development. Moringa provides beta-carotene, the plant form of vitamin A.

Protein: moringa contains all nine essential amino acids, making it one of the few plant sources of complete protein.

Vitamin C: supports iron absorption. When moringa is consumed alongside iron-rich foods, the vitamin C content helps the body absorb significantly more iron from the meal.

For pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, for women who are trying to conceive, and for families looking to increase nutritional density without changing their cooking entirely, moringa powder is one of the most practical additions available.

Traditionally used to support breastfeeding mothers

Across Mauritius, Madagascar, the Philippines, and throughout the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia, moringa has been given to breastfeeding mothers for generations as a nutritional tonic. The tradition is well-documented, and a growing body of research supports its use as a galactagogue — a substance that may support or maintain breast milk production.

Nutura moringa powder is not a medicine. It does not guarantee any specific outcome. What it provides is the nutritional foundation that breastfeeding mothers need, in a form that is easy to incorporate daily, from a source with deep roots in the cultures that first understood its value.

How to use it

Moringa powder has an earthy, slightly grassy taste that blends easily into strongly flavoured liquids and foods. It does not dissolve completely — it will settle if left to stand.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding: Add half a teaspoon to a glass of juice, a smoothie, or a warm drink. Stir well. Start with half a teaspoon daily and build to one teaspoon if you tolerate it well. As always during pregnancy, discuss any new supplement with your gynaecologist or midwife first.

In cooking: Stir into dal, soup, or stew in the last few minutes of cooking to preserve the nutritional content. Add to rice water while cooking. Blend into a green smoothie with banana and mango.

In cold drinks: Mix with orange juice or a smoothie — the vitamin C in citrus also improves iron absorption from the moringa.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the zip-lock after each use. Once opened, use within 3 months for best quality. Do not store in the fridge — condensation will cause clumping.
