Moringa tree

Moringa tree

I lost my moringa tree in the winter storm, so I decided to try to grow one again from seed. It grew all year. I don’t find it very tasty yet, so mostly just pick some leaves when I walk by and munch on it raw.

To my surprise, in August of the same year, the tree flowered! But it gets better, then it started forming these long beans. They are seed pods. I did some research and found that they are edible. Edible when they look like long beans. I tried one or two and it was pretty peppery. I plan to try to let the pods mature and see if they will be viable seeds next year.

Fast forward to November. Pods are looking close to ready tp pick. Need to do more research…

I rarely bring flowers inside. I generally enjoy them outside in their natural habitat. When a bloom starts to fade outside, it does not leave a mess off pollen and leaves on your table. But for some reason today, I decided to clip some and bring them in. I’m glad I did. Smelled so good. Made me smile.
