Moringa powder can be added to soups and stews when cooking, but more nutrition is available when added at the end of cooking, or just before eating. Same apply for Moringa fresh leaves.

That said, that's typically how research on a food like moringa begins. Once there's research that "works," more is usually to come—and in actual people.
Research suggests that moringa is safe for humans to consume, but the quantity that is safe can vary from person to person. However, the phytate found in moringa can cause adverse reactions if consumed in high quantities.

These benefits are linked to the various powerful compounds found in moringa powder, namely polyphenols and other antioxidants While research has yet to consistently validate these benefits in humans, moringa remains a popular supplement.
