Why are you called Kuli Kuli?
- Kuli-kuli is a peanut snack popular in West Africa. Nigerien women showed our founder Lisa Curtis how to make a delicious and naturally energizing snack with kuli-kuli and moringa leaves.

- All of our moringa products are inspected for microbiological inspection and heavy metals. Our quality assurance requires that our moringa is tested at least four times before meeting the shelves.
Why is my moringa brown?
- Moringa is an agricultural product, so there is some variation in color and texture depending on the weather, time of year harvested, and how much water is used to grow the trees. The nutritional value remains the same!
Does baking or cooking reduce the nutrient content of moringa?
- As with most foods, heating moringa powder can reduce some of the vitamins. Luckily, moringa is so nutrient-rich that heating it will still provide you with nutritional benefits. For best results, you can also stir additional moringa into your foods after they have been cooked.
How much moringa should I eat?
- For most adults, 2-10 grams of moringa each day is a great place to start. We recommended starting out with 1 tsp, and increasing up to 1 tbsp of our pure moringa powder per day if desired.
How do I use moringa powder?
- Moringa powder is really versatile! Try adding 1-3 teaspoons to any smoothie recipe, savory sauce, vegetable stir-fry, or casserole dish. To maximize nutritional value, add moringa towards the end of a baked or stove-top dish.

- Moringa is a nutritional powerhouse.

Even though moringa is caffeine-free, many people also describe a feeling of sustained energy from adding moringa to their daily diet.
Are there any side effects I may experience while consuming moringa powder?
- Moringa powder comes from leaves of the moringa tree. It has been used to detox the body in ayurvedic medicine and is high in fiber. Because of this, it’s important to start with only 1 teaspoon of moringa powder added to your dish or smoothie, and see how your body responds. We recommend 1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon of moringa each day.
Can I take moringa while pregnant or breastfeeding?
- Moringa is used by new mothers for breastfeeding because it increases the quality and nutritional quantity of breast milk. In earlier stages of pregnancy, we recommend consulting your physician.
