Drumsticks, also known as moringa pods, are slender, green vegetables from the moringa tree, native to South Asia. Widely used in Indian, Sri Lankan, and Southeast Asian cuisines, they add flavor and nutrition to curries, soups, and stir-fries. These pods are a rich source of essential nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, potassium, and dietary fiber, making them beneficial for immune health, bone strength, and digestive health. Drumsticks have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which support overall wellness. They are naturally low in calories and fat, making them a health-conscious choice for weight management. However, preparation methods involving deep-frying or calorie-dense sauces can increase their fat and calorie content. Their slightly earthy, tangy flavor enhances vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes alike, offering both nutritional and culinary versatility.
