π¨ MORINGA BANNED IN AUSTRALIA π¨
The Australian government has banned moringa as a food and I have thoughts. πΏ
For those who don’t know, moringa is one of the most nutrient-dense plants on Earth. It’s been eaten safely across Africa, Asia and the Pacific for literally thousands of years.
More vitamin C than oranges.
More calcium than milk.
More iron than spinach.
Ancient cultures didn’t get the memo that it was dangerous apparently.
FSANZ, our food standards authority rejected it as a novel food, meaning it can no longer be imported or sold for human consumption in Australia.
We now join Brazil and New Zealand as one of only THREE countries in the entire world to ban it.
Three. Countries. On the whole planet.
You can still buy Red Bull though. Totally fine. No concerns there. π
Now this isn’t the first time recently we’ve seen moves like this, last time it was backyard leafy greens, berries and melons getting caught up in commercial food safety regulations. And look, I get it, food safety matters. But there’s a conversation to be had about where genuine safety ends and bureaucratic overreach begins.
Here’s the thing though, growing a moringa tree is still completely legal. Owning one is completely legal. Sharing cuttings with your community is completely legal.
So if you happen to have a moringa tree in your yard and wanted to share some cuttings on uForage for your neighbours to grow… purely for shade… for ornamental purposes… because it’s a beautiful tree…
We would absolutely not be able to stop you ππΏ
Drop your location in the comments if you have one. Let’s grow some very decorative, extremely ornamental, definitely not edible trees together.

Ask yourself why.
Spinach has no more iron than other greens. Remember the . was put in the wrong place.
I used to eat Moringa (its fruits, flowers & leaves) as a kid.
am I going to die now ??
/s
Whatβs the reason to ban Moringo ? What argument govt has
Whatβs the reason?
Bad exaples. We should never strive to eat more than enough of either calsium nor iron. Not more than enough of anything ofcourse but your body has no good way of clearing your body from excess iron and iron oxidises in your body if not used. Most people nowadays is also highly defficient in vitamin D & K2 wich is needed to keep calsium out of the bloodstream and in the bones. Excess calsium is therefor the main reason for clogged arteries and high blood pressure as the veins and arteries become smaller. Though this should never even be considered as a reason to ban itπ
Whaaat??? Moringa is a superfood. Unbelievable
Moringa is great for vertigo!
They ban a nutrient dense food and they allow actual poisons like, ethanol and tobacco. What a joke the Australian government is.
Tell them bought and paid for criminals to kick rocks
Lolπ ππππππ
The Controllers, don't want you healthy. They just want to control you manipulate, you make you sick and codependent on drug companies. And quite frankly, Australia and New Zealand have shown their true colors during COVID. You people, unfortunately, are in a prison in the middle of the f**** ocean. I would get the f*** out if I were you run like hal.
Most of us got a moringa tree in our backyard,in Mauritius.Healthy stuff !!!
What is their rationalization for the ban?
Shame, if you used maranga you will live long.some Government want you to die early.
In India people eat leaves,flower and drumsticks all from the Moringa plant making different dishes and it's very useful for our body,,,,
We don't need governments
All of our governments have gone unchecked for far too long. Theyre mad with power.
Omg now I miss Malunggay na Pakbetπ
π‘π’
We would have left your country as soon as they banned guns
aussi aussi aussi….prrr prrr prrr
They always ban something when it is super good for you
AUSTRALIA IS ONE BIG PRISON, ITS PM ITS WARDEN
New Zealand isnt that the country where uk Willie best buddy the communist jacinda ardern was prime minister.
Dry the leaves and donate them to the starving. That might get legal protection.
Lady has fantastic hair.
Moringa has a plethora of health benefits .I have been taking moringa capsules for more than 3 years. It has drastically improved my eyesight. For my drivers eye test a while ago my one eye tested 20 20 which was like that 30 years ago . Everyting looks like HD. I am a South African male of 75 years. This is very sad to hear.
Surprised at Brazil
I live in south part of India, Tamilnadu- most of the house hold here has 1 tree and we just share with neighbours for free, while in cities i spend money buying it. I miss the luxury of living in villages
Have you noticed how many governments are just flexing their muscles against their own people to take away their rights? Look at the Democratic Party in America? Absolutely insane.
These evil ones running the world are banning moringa because it fights starvation. They plan on depopulation through war & starvation. (Rev. 2:9 & 3:9)
