Abstract: A method for treating Moringa seeds is disclosed. A starting material comprising ground Moringa seeds, preferably seeds that have undergone a process to remove their oil, is contacted with water. The water is drained, and the Moringa seeds are then contacted with water a second time. The product may then be dried or passed to an extruder. The process almost completely removes the unpleasant bitter taste associated with Moringa seeds, but retains most of the protein content of the starting material. In contrast to methods known in the art, the method does not require adjustment of the pH or the use of any organic solvent. A composition comprising ground Moringa seeds that comprises at least 30% protein and has a glucosinolate concentration
