PROCESSING & PRESERVATION TRAINING
Our project builds upon the 2016 Specialty Crop Block grant between UC Cooperative Extension Fresno & Tulare Counties & UC Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education Program (SAREP). They partnered with small-scale Central Valley farmers to identify best practices for drying moringa leaves and producing dried leaf powder as a value-added product. Drying moringa extends the shelf-life of nutrient-dense products and gives farmers the potential for new market channels. Here is the Guide to Drying Moringa developed from the project.
