Hi Gayatri,
im glad that these tips are useful for you.
My interest is to sell fresh moringa leaves in my community locally but my problem is moringa fresh leaves are very delicate and can wilt with no time how can I handle that coz would like the leaves at least to stay for one day
Hi,
i have used moringa leaves quiet often, i always take out the leaves from the stem and store it in either dry plastic/ glass container and cover it with paper towel and it will stay for weeks.
if you want to store it as it is, cover the stem ends with plastic wrap tightly and cover the rest of the leaves with plastic bag. it will hold its freshness at least for days.
thank you
