Is Australian-grown always better? Not necessarily.

Even more concerning is that the final product is often subjected to ionising radiation—a process used to kill bacteria and extend shelf life but one that also alters the nutritional integrity of the plant. For us this is counterintuitive :(

The Moringa we import from India is not only grown to certified organic standards, but also cultivated using traditional farming methods that prioritise soil health and biodiversity.

Indian farmers have been growing and harvesting Moringa for centuries, perfecting cultivation techniques that preserve its rich nutrient profile without the need for synthetic interventions.

We also go to great lengths to ensure that our Moringa is not irradiated.

What we know is that even small amounts of glyphosate impact gut health (read the study), and that impacts every part of our body.

So this raises an important question: Should we always prioritise local production, even when it compromises quality and health?

The way that I make that decision is I ask myself the question:  ‘would I give this to my kids?’- knowing what we know about current practices, I would choose the Certified organic Indian grown Moringa.

The reality is that “Australian-grown” usually means “superior” but there are exceptions to the rule  — how a product is grown, processed, and ultimately, whether it delivers the health benefits we seek are the most important factors.

We want nothing more than to have our Moringa farmed in Australia, and we are working with many farmers to make that a reality (if you know someone tell them to email us) but until then, when it comes to Moringa, we think imported is simply the better choice... what do you think?
