Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Harvest or Purchase Moringa Seeds
Start by harvesting fresh moringa seeds from the moringa tree, or you can purchase dried moringa seeds from a health store or online.
2. Dry the Seeds
If you are using fresh seeds, ensure they are completely dried. Spread them out in a single layer and let them air dry in a warm, dry place for a few days. Dried seeds are essential for the oil extraction process.
