Seeds


Moringa seeds are used as a coagulant. They are known to separate out the solid particles from a colloidal water solution. However, if bacteria or microbes such as E. coli are present, Moringa does not work as a purifying agent. The water will need to be treated for pathogens to make it potable.

See this page for more information on using Moringa for water purification.

For more information see this article by Beth Doerr from ECHO.
