While you may have only seen the word “moringa” in the last few years, how much do you know about it? How does the superfood moringa compare to other superfoods like wheatgrass?
Moringa vs. Wheatgrass: A Recap
Morina has been showing up strong in the Battle of the Supergreens, a lively series where we compare supergreens with each other. The time has come to pitch moringa against that legendary foe, wheatgrass.
For years, wheatgrass has been the poster child of high-energy healthy, active lifestyles. If you had super-health crazed parents, maybe they even forced you to down wheatgrass shots as a kid.
Let’s take a look at the nutritional content of 10g of Kuli Kuli’s moringa powder vs. 10g of a leading wheatgrass powder.
We knew going in that this was going to be a hard fought battle, but based on moringa’s spotless record so far, it’s no surprise that it’s come out on top once again. Moringa beats out wheatgrass in key categories like iron, fiber, calcium, and vitamin K. It also holds its own as a complete plan protein with all nine essential amino acids. Furthermore, the fact that one 10g serving of moringa powder will give you half of your daily recommended iron should be enough to get your attention!
Wheatgrass predictably takes home wins in the vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium categories, but this isn’t enough for it to hold an edge over moringa. Lots of people consume moringa as part of a smoothie or nutritious meal, which can provide these particular nutrients. For example, you can enjoy the delicious benefits of moringa in our #moringainspired Moringa Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie.

What if you combine them in a green smoothie? M and Sw. A win win
That is definitely a good idea! Thanks for reading!
What about anti fungal properties of moringa vs wheatgrass? I have been taking wheatgrass for about 7 years to keep my skin parasites under control and that’s my sole reason for taking it. Does Moringa boast of anything like that?
I have just bought Moringa powder. I am 65 yrs old with diabetes and high BP both under control with medicines.
Kindly advise me on the correct dosage and the time to consume. Thanks.
I am waiting for my answer on dosage
This isn’t totally useless but people generally don’t take either of these just for their vitamin profile. You are missing what is truly good about each item and then they are rated like you can tell which is better from viewing 15% of their properties?? Not totally useless but….
Great information! Do you have any data regarding barley grass powder vs moringa? Thanks.
Hi Dick, We do not have information on that comparison at this time but will definitely look into it!
