About Drumsticks

Drumsticks, a versatile culinary ingredient, refer to both chicken legs and the elongated pods of the Moringa tree. The chicken variety is rich in protein, essential for muscle growth, and provides key nutrients like iron and zinc. It’s a global favorite, appearing in cuisines from spicy Indian curries to American barbecue. However, preparation matters—fried drumsticks are higher in fats and calories, while baked or grilled options are lighter. Moringa drumsticks, native to South Asia, are nutrient-packed and often featured in Indian and Southeast Asian dishes. They’re low in calories, high in fiber, and a great source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals that support digestion and immunity. Whether plant-based or meaty, drumsticks bring flavor and nutrition to diverse dishes, making them a popular choice.
