Drumstick Leaves

मोरिंगा पत्तियाँ

Drumstick leaves (moringa) are the world's most nutrient-dense green, packed with iron, calcium, and vitamins. Used in sambar, dal, kootu, and parathas across South India. They have a slightly bitter, earthy flavour and are used fresh, dried, or as powder.

Ayurveda view: warming nature — calms Vata and Kapha, increases Pitta.
