Drumstick/Moringa

Drumstick, a staple in Indian culinary culture, brings a unique flavour and texture to dishes across the subcontinent. Known scientifically as Moringa Oleifera, its slender pods are used in various preparations, particularly in South Indian cuisine. These pods, when cooked, yield a fleshy pulp that combines earthy undertones with a hint of bitterness, complementing curries, stews, and sambar. The drumstick tree, revered for its hardiness and nutritional value, also yields nutritious leaves and flowers used in regional delicacies.
