What is the Bracha on Moringa Leaves?
Question:
There is a tree called a Moringa Tree and it’s leaves are extremely healthy and also edible.
I was wondering what the Bracha of it would be, haeitz or haadamah as they are just leaves and if your eating it for health if there would even be a bracha from the beginning?
Answer:
If the purpose of planting the tree is for the leaves, the bracha Haadama should be recited. If not, Shehakol.
