So I started this company after working with Moringa in the Peace Corps. I was in a very rural village, no electricity, no running water. As a vegetarian, not a lot of healthy food, so I was eating like rice and millet every day, and it was a diet that left me feeling really tired all the time. So I asked some of the women in my village's health center, what can I eat to give me More nutrients to give my body the protein, calcium, iron, everything I need. And they literally went over to this tree and pulled off the leaves and mixed it into this popular local snack called kulikuli and said, eat this, it'll make you feel better. I ate it every day, and after about a week, I had so much more energy. I felt my health had totally transformed in a way that I have never felt before.
