About Drumstick leaves, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

The horseradish tree (Moringa oleifera), best known today simply as moringa, is a fast-growing tropical tree native to South Asia, prized as one of the most nutritious plants around and often called the drumstick tree for its long, slender seed pods. Nearly every part is edible: the leaves, the immature green pods, the seeds, and the pungent root, which tastes like horseradish and gives the tree its name.

Moringa leaves are remarkably nutrient-dense, rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, iron, protein, and antioxidants. The tender leaves are cooked like spinach or dried into the bright green powder stirred into smoothies, teas, and soups, while the young drumstick pods are simmered in South Asian curries and sambar. Choose fresh green leaves and pods, and store moringa powder in an airtight container away from light to protect its nutrients.
