Drumstick pods
Drumstick pods are long, ridged immature moringa seed pods, commonly sectioned for soups and stews, with tougher fibres developing as they mature.
About Drumstick pods
Drumstick pods are the long, slender immature seed pods of the moringa tree, commonly called moringa pods. They are green and ridged, with a fibrous exterior and seeds inside; when cooked, the softer inner portions have a mild, vegetal flavour, while mature pods become tougher and more fibrous.
They are commonly cut into sections and cooked in soups, stews and other dishes, with the inedible or fibrous outer parts often not eaten. Pod length, maturity and tenderness vary. This ingredient is the pod, not the moringa leaves, which are a separate edible part.
