The long, three-sided pod of the moringa tree, known in India as drumstick and cooked into sambar and curries. It is picked young and tender, and since the outer skin turns fibrous the inside is scraped out after cooking.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
