Moringa seeds have a number of remarkable health benefits and uses–not the least of which is water purification. When the seeds are crushed they are mixed into water and after a few hours, they are up to 99% effective in reducing bacteria. Crushed Moringa seeds also clarify turbid water attracting suspended particles and trapping them. In this way, crushed Moringa seeds act very similarly to conventional aluminum-based water filtration media. The practical implications of this cheap and easy water treatment method are huge in the developing world!
