  3. I think I've seen frozen moringa leaves at the Indian supermarket. Although moringa has become popular here in the west, it is mostly in the form of tea, so fresh is not easy to come by. However, I will check next time I go to the Indian market and would love to try these. Love the bright color of the parathas.
