Intaka Ezimbili Moringa started in 2011 when an article in the Star Newspaper introduced founder Monica Olwagen to the seriously amazing Moringa tree, also known as the Tree of Life.
The Story Behind the Name
Monica Olwagen's late husband chose the name for their business. His favourite scripture in the Bible was Matthew 10:29.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
Intaka is the Xhosa word for small bird (sparrow). Ezimbili is the Zulu word for two. Together, the name honours his memory and faith.
Why Moringa?
Their product, Moringa, is packed with extraordinary nutritional value — 8.5 times the protein of yoghurt, 7 times the vitamin C of oranges, 15 times the potassium of banana, and 10.5 times the vitamin A of carrots. It truly lives up to its name as the Tree of Life.
What pouches do they use?
They sell 100g and 250g Moringa powder in our metalised/clear flat bottom packs, which keep the product fresh and provide excellent shelf presence.
