Snack food with moringa

Details

Created on 06, February, 2018

A snack food containing moringa leaf describes the leaf as being "one of the most nutrient-rich plants in the world"...

Moringa leaf is from Moringa oleifera, a tree known as the drumstick tree, which is in the moringa genus. The leaves are no more nutritious than many other leafy greens. The main issue here is that the claim posted on the website and labeling is an implied nutrient content claim that is not supported by the snack food's Nutrition Facts, which shows no nutrients present at even a "good source" level. This is because the snack is mostly sorghum flour and oil, with very little moringa leaf.
