Drumsticks

Product code: N/A
Price:
£2.99

Country of Origin: Mauritius/India

Approx. 200g – 230g

The drumstick (scientifically known as Moringa oleifera) is the long, slender, and green pod of the Moringa tree, often referred to as the “miracle tree” due to its exceptional nutritional and medicinal benefits. Native to India and parts of Africa, drumsticks are a staple in many traditional cuisines, particularly in South Asian and Caribbean cooking.

Appearance:
Drumsticks are long, cylindrical, and typically 1 to 2 feet in length. The outer skin is smooth and green, and the interior contains a soft, fibrous flesh with small seeds. When harvested young, the pods are tender and edible, while older pods tend to become more fibrous and harder to eat.

Taste and Flavor:
The taste of drumstick pods is mild, slightly nutty, and slightly savory. The flesh of the pod is soft but fibrous, and the seeds inside are somewhat crunchy when young. When cooked, drumsticks absorb flavors from the spices and other ingredients in a dish, making them a versatile component in curries, soups, and stews.

Health and Medicinal Uses:
Drumsticks, particularly the leaves and pods, are used in traditional medicine for a wide range of ailments. They are believed to promote digestive health, reduce inflammation, and support blood sugar regulation. In some cultures, drumsticks are consumed to boost liver health, aid in detoxification, and improve skin health. The leaves and pods are also rich in protein, making them valuable for supporting muscle growth and cell repair.

Storage and Shelf Life:
Fresh drumsticks should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days to maintain their tenderness and flavor. Dried drumsticks (often used in powdered form) have a longer shelf life and should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to preserve their quality. In some regions, drumsticks are available in frozen form for extended storage.
