Used for centuries as a medicine in India, the neem tree is slowly gaining in recognition and popularity in the west as a natural remedy for many conditions. It has antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties among many others, making it one of world's most powerful, healing plants.

Whether fresh, dried, or cooked, the neem leaf can be used in a wide range of recipes that will please the pickiest of palates. Every part of the neem tree - leaves, bark, fruit, seeds, oil, and roots - has been used medicinally for millennia in India. Neem also has exceptional value in cooking, especially the leaves.

Here are the most common ways in which neem leaves are used in cooking today:

Stir-Fried Neem Leaves: Stir frying neem leaves and adding them to a variety of side dishes and casseroles is a long-established Bengali tradition. The belief is that consuming a sour dish like nim begun (neem leaves and eggplant) at the beginning of a meal will have a cleansing effect on the digestive system. To reduce some of the sourness and make the dish palatable, young neem leaves are typically used.

Neem Leaf Smoothies: Yes, you can even add fresh or dried neem leaves to your favorite smoothie recipe, another easy way to get the nutritional benefits of the neem plant. By adding fruit, some dark, leafy green vegetables, and a sweetener, along with a teaspoon of the dried leaf, you'll not only increase the drink's nutritional value, you'll lessen the sour taste.
