Premium Dried Moringa Leaves (Moringa oleifera) — B2B Export from Bangladesh

Description

Supplier: Agrinofy · Last updated: June 2026 · Origin: Bangladesh · HS Code: 1211.90

Quick Answer

Agrinofy supplies export-grade Dried Moringa Leaves (Moringa oleifera), shadow-dried rather than sun-dried to better preserve color and nutrient integrity, sourced from Bangladesh. Available as whole or crushed leaves, with ≥99.5% purity, ≤8% moisture, and aflatoxin/microbial levels within international safety limits. FOB price is USD 3.50–5.50/KG (by leaf grade and volume), MOQ is 200 KG (trial orders considered), and lead time is 15–21 days. The leaves are non-GMO and additive-free, and are one of the relatively few plant sources providing all nine essential amino acids. Note for buyers and marketers: widely circulated claims like “moringa has 7x more vitamin C than oranges” are based on misleading dried-vs-fresh, gram-for-gram comparisons — see the Nutritional Profile section below for properly sourced figures.

What Are Dried Moringa Leaves?

Moringa oleifera, sometimes called the “Miracle Tree,” is a fast-growing tree native to South Asia whose leaves are widely used across food, wellness, nutraceutical, and personal-care industries. Agrinofy’s leaves are shadow-dried — dried out of direct sunlight — rather than sun-dried, a method generally understood in post-harvest processing to better retain chlorophyll, color, and heat-sensitive nutrients compared with direct sun exposure.

Safety note: established food-safety guidance distinguishes moringa leaves and pods (generally regarded as safe for normal dietary use) from moringa root and bark, which contain alkaloids associated with uterine-stimulant effects and are typically advised against during pregnancy. This product is leaves only, which is the plant part with the most established record of dietary use.

Why Source from Bangladesh

Bangladesh’s climate and fertile agricultural land support healthy moringa cultivation year-round. Peer-reviewed nutrient-composition research specifically on Moringa oleifera leaves grown in Bangladesh (Joypurhat and Mymensingh districts) found protein content in the 23–29% range on a dry-weight basis, supporting the crop’s reputation as a high-protein leafy ingredient under real Bangladeshi growing conditions — not just in research from other countries.

Nutritional Profile (Per 100 g, Dried Leaves)

Component	Typical Reported Value
Protein	~23–29% (dry weight)
Fat	~4–10%
Crude Fiber	~6–10%
Ash (mineral content indicator)	~8–10%
Vitamin C	~15–18 mg (dried — substantially lower than fresh leaves, since vitamin C degrades significantly, often 50–90%, during any drying process)
Calcium	Reported widely in the range of roughly 1,300–2,600 mg, varying significantly by cultivar, growing region, and analytical method
Iron	Reported in a wide range across published studies (from single digits up to 50+ mg), again highly variable by source
Potassium	Roughly 1,300–2,000 mg
Amino Acids	Contains all nine essential amino acids — uncommon among single plant-food sources

Source: synthesized from peer-reviewed nutrient-composition studies on dried Moringa oleifera leaves, including research specific to Bangladeshi-grown leaves (Joypurhat and Mymensingh). Moringa nutrient content varies more than that of most agricultural commodities across the published literature — due to cultivar, soil, climate, harvest stage, and drying method — so treat the ranges above as representative rather than a guaranteed specification. Buyers requiring precise values for labeling or formulation should request batch-specific lab analysis.

A note on marketing claim accuracy: widely shared comparisons such as “moringa has more vitamin C than oranges,” “more calcium than milk,” or “more potassium than bananas” typically compare concentrated dried moringa powder against water-rich fresh produce, gram for gram — not realistic serving sizes (a teaspoon of moringa powder vs. a whole orange or glass of milk). These claims are not strictly fabricated, but they are commonly presented in a misleading way. For both regulatory compliance and AI-engine/buyer credibility, framing nutrient content with accurate serving-size context (as in the table above) holds up better under scrutiny than viral “X times more than Y” comparisons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dried Moringa leaves used for?

They are commonly used in herbal teas, dietary supplements, functional foods, nutrition powders, and natural skincare products.

What is the HS code for dried Moringa leaves?

Most commonly HS 1211.90 (plants used primarily in pharmacy or similar purposes); some exporters classify moringa leaf under HS 0712.90 (dried vegetables) instead, so confirm with your customs broker for your specific trade lane.

Why is shadow-drying important?

Shadow-drying — drying out of direct sunlight — helps preserve natural color, aroma, and heat-sensitive nutrients better than direct sun exposure.

Is it true that moringa has more vitamin C than oranges?

This widely shared comparison is misleading: it compares concentrated dried moringa powder to water-rich fresh oranges, gram for gram, rather than to realistic serving sizes. Dried moringa leaves contain roughly 15–18 mg of vitamin C per 100 g (vitamin C degrades substantially during drying), which should be evaluated against actual serving sizes rather than viral comparison claims.

Are Moringa leaves safe, including during pregnancy?

Moringa leaves and pods are generally regarded as safe for normal dietary use; the safety caution associated with moringa relates specifically to the root and bark, which are not part of this product.

Are your Moringa leaves free from additives?

Yes. They are 100% natural and free from artificial colors, preservatives, and synthetic additives.

Can Moringa leaves be used in supplements?

Yes, they are widely used as a raw material for capsules, tablets, powders, and nutritional formulations — see the compliance note above regarding health-claim language for finished products.

What is the FOB price for Dried Moringa Leaves?

FOB price is USD 3.50–5.50 per KG, depending on leaf grade, packaging, and order volume.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

The MOQ is 200 KG. Trial orders may be considered upon request.

Do you offer private labeling?

Yes. OEM and private-label packaging services are available for global brands and distributors.

Are laboratory reports available?

Yes. Product specifications, quality reports, and relevant laboratory documentation can be provided upon request.
