About Drumstick

The drumstick, also known as moringa or "Moringa oleifera," is a nutrient-rich vegetable commonly used in South Asian, Southeast Asian, and African cuisines. This slender green pod is packed with vitamins A, C, and B6, along with minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. Known for its slightly earthy flavor, it is often added to soups, curries, and stews for its savory taste and health benefits. Drumsticks are low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in antioxidants, which support digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. Their anti-inflammatory properties and nutrient density make them a popular choice in traditional medicine for improving energy and bone strength. However, like many vegetables, their health benefits can diminish when deep-fried or paired with heavy, oily sauces. Versatile and wholesome, the drumstick is a smart addition to a balanced diet when prepared mindfully.
