  1. this is an interesting food that we can make on nutrition month. if it is ok with you, can i ask for the nutritional value of this product? Thank you anf more power

  2. I’m sorry I don’t know the exact nutritional value. I think a laboratory (DOST or BFAD) can do that. What I am sure, is that this is nutritious. One thing though, it’s better to eat the muffins right after cooking. You wouldn’t know it has malunggay. When we kept the leftovers in the fridge it hardened and the malunggay taste was more pronounced. But this may also be due to too much malunggay. Instead of just a few tablespoons, I used 1 cup malunggay.

  3. how to make malunggay juice?

  9. wow yummy!
    i have tried making muffins too and it was very good. What kind of malunggay did you use in this recipe, fresh or powdered? my muffins still taste good kahit na 2 days na. you can’t notice the malunggay taste. i put 6 tablespoons moringa powder.

  10. dhail

    I use freshly blended leaves. haven’t tried powdered moringa. will try it next time. Malakas kasi kumain ang mga kasama ko sa bahay kaya hindi inaabot ng next day ang muffin (hehehehe).

      yes, malunggay is now available commercially. Honestly, I don’t have any recipe on beverages. But you may start with adding malunggay to your mixes.

      good luck.

  15. Hi there. I came across to this recipe. Just one question though. By “blended malunggay” what does it mean? I mean how to have “blended malunggay”. Thanks

    • malunggay na giniling po sa blender. 🙂

      • kailangan dried yung leaves before sya i blender? 🙂

      • for this recipe its fresh malunggay. you may opt to use almires instead of a blender
