The long, slender pods of the Moringa tree, known as drumsticks, are a popular vegetable in Indian cuisine. They are valued not just for their taste but for their immense health benefits. The powder, made from dried young pods, concentrates their rich mineral content and makes them available year-round for use in soups, stews, and wellness formulations aimed at strengthening the skeletal system.

While the leaves are a nutritional powerhouse, the pods of the Moringa tree (drumsticks) are revered in Ayurveda for their specific action on the bones and joints. They are a rich source of calcium, iron, and phosphorus, making them excellent for nourishing bone tissue (Asthi Dhatu). They are traditionally used to support joint health, reduce inflammation, and purify the blood.
● For a Bone-Strengthening Broth: Add 1-2 teaspoons of Moringa pod powder to vegetable soups or lentil dals during cooking to infuse them with bone-supporting minerals.
● As a Nutritional Supplement: Mix half a teaspoon of the powder with warm water and consume daily to support overall joint and bone health.
We select tender, young Moringa pods from organic farms, ensuring they are harvested at the peak of their nutritional value.
The pods are carefully washed, sliced, and dehydrated at low temperatures before being ground, preserving their rich profile of calcium and other vital nutrients.
