How to Make Profits from Empty Moringa Pods
By Domingo Bustillos, Venezuela – 04/08/2019
We are learning new things each and everyday about Moringa uses. We are learning how nothing with moringa needs to be wasted. Even dried moringa seed pods can be used and sold.
Today we learnt about using wasted Moringa Seed Pods for smoking meat or fish. Domingo mentioned the following in his Presentation, as well as other uses for the seed pods.
Smoking Meat or Fish
In general terms, any hard wood and resin free, is good for smoke. A GOOD tip is to wrap it on aluminium paper with small holes so it would consume slowly generate more smoke and add better flavor. Another tip is to add some humidity. It could be water, but using beer or rum, brandy wine can add curious flavor, especially to fish.
He said that some use: cedar, walnut, cherry tree, oak, or apple tree for smoking, but those woods are very expensive and hard to find. For example, if you use apple there will be a soft flavor, and don’t work in short periods of time. But if you smoke it for several hours then you will add soft smoke flavor without other dark flavors.
Well, guess what? Moringa seed pods waste is excellently used for smoking. Due to its soft flavor that does not hide other flavors and it adds to it in a short time.
One asked the effects of resin. Domingo Bustillos stated that resin will keep the fire on, yet we don’t want that, we need the smoke not high temperature.
Opportunity:
There are factories that require lots of smoking woods in order to smoke pork chops, fish such as salmon, sausages, etc. This can be an opportunity for us.
Other Moringa Seed Pod Uses
Firestarters:
He also said that Moringa dry pods can be used as fire starter. If you are into charcoal business, it could be added to the charcoal pack for quick start.
Wallpaper Glue:
He highlighted that Brazil developed a wallpaper glue made out of Moringa Dry Pods.
Market is available and that he has 145 hectares of Moringa that makes Moringa Dry Pods readily available.
Repelling Mosquitoes:
As he was presenting, it was pointed out that Moringa Dry Pods can be used for repelling mosquitoes.
Nanocellulose:
He went on to talk about nanocellulose as Neem that has great results in making strong brown paper for wrapping. Thus he encouraged us to Google and learn more about Moringa as nanocellulose.
Moringa business is Real and
Multipurpose with Vast Opportunities.
