We source Ethiopia cabbage tree seeds and leaves from the wild parts of the south of Ethiopia. Farmers grow the plants in terraced fields not only as a source of food and nutrition but for water conservation in the highlands. While the leaves go into the cuisine, seeds purify water, while in other parts the leaf extract serves as a traditional drug. The tree in these parts reaches around 12 meters in height.

The nutritional capacity of Ethiopia Moringa include its high mineral, protein and vitamin content. The leaves offer up to 100 percent of the daily value of calcium for toddlers, especially for teeth growth. The amount translates to 50 percent of the daily value of calcium needs in adults. There are also high amounts of iron from the seeds. The leaves are rich in vitamins including A for good eyesight and C for boosting body immunity against diseases. Its other content includes B6, and Vitamin D, with the latter being essential for strong bone formation. In culinary terms, mostly leaves feature in cooking. In some parts of India, the seeds of the plant are edible after rinsing in clear water and then boiling before serving with stew.

Our family grower sources harvest the leaves of the Ethiopia cabbage tree once per year. They can expect an output of between 700 kilos to 1000 kilos from every hectare, depending on the conservation measures. The harvesting period takes place at least two times a month when the immature seeds and leaves that were not picked earlier will have matured.

We pack Ethiopia cabbage tree seeds in 50kg sachet bags that are airtight and well-sealed to retain freshness. We also pack the threaded leaves that resemble dhania in sets of 12 to 24 bunches per box. Before packing we store the leaves and seeds in cool, dry packing sheds away from contamination. Alternatively, we also provide 50kg sachet bags of crushed leaves that are popular in local supermarkets as a sauce for sprinkling meals.

We also provide Moringa oil which we extract through cold pressing. The seeds undergo pressing after crushing into a powder. They then go through a cold distillation that separates water and oil content. A single harvest of a hectare can produce around two hundred and fifty liters of the oil. We provide 100 percent virgin quality that has no external additive. The purpose of the oil is in balm and cosmetic making.
