Every Moringa Business Starts with Seeds | From Selling Trees to Cold-Pressed Oil

This is 35,000 moringa seeds. One sack can plant an acre, start a nursery, press oil, and grow trees to sell every year. After 10 years of farming moringa here in Plant City, Florida, this is everything I've learned about the seed. I started as an architect. Today I plant a full sack on one acre of my farm every April. In this video I walk you through the whole thing: what's inside a drumstick, cleaning and packaging a sack to sell, sprouting and planting, pressing oil with my custom auger hopper, turning wings into paper, and the real numbers behind all three seed businesses. You don't need land or trees to start. A pot, some sun, and a handful of seeds is enough. Every moringa business starts with a seed.

Your results depend on your market and your work. About the water experiment: crushed moringa seed clarifies cloudy water by settling the dirt out. It does not make water safe to drink on its own, so always boil or disinfect it.
