What we developed

The problem

Fresh moringa leaf is highly perishable, and most of it is dried in open sun because sun costs nothing. Heat takes out the colour and much of the quality, which is why a lot of moringa powder is olive rather than green.

What they did

MiracleTree moved drying into a controlled low-temperature closed chamber — hygienic, repeatable, and held at low temperature under controlled conditions — so the leaf keeps more of what the sun would take from it.

Moringa leaf dried under controlled low heat in a closed chamber — for better retention of its natural colour, sensory quality and nutritional characteristics.

The problem

Moringa was sold as leaves, powder or capsules. All three ask the buyer to change their habits, and most people do not.

What they did

A moringa-leaf-loaded energy bar, shown at Agri Intex in Coimbatore in 2015. It put moringa into a food people already eat, and the rest of the range followed that format.

Later supplied corporate programmes including PayPal India, and a single order of roughly 35,000 bars for Isha Life.

The problem

A business built on leaf alone uses a small part of the tree. The seed, flower and pod have commercial value that was going unused.

What they did

Moringa seed pressed cold and developed into a skin-care product, extending the range beyond food.

Leaf, flower, seed and seed oil all now go into products.

The problem

ULTCD was built for moringa, but heat-sensitive plant material loses quality in the dryer across the whole herbal processing industry.

What they did

CLHPD was developed for premium moringa and then adapted for other herbs, vegetables and plant materials.

Now used on plant material beyond moringa.
