Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Moringa' is a superfood considered having highest nutritional value (90+ nutrients) among edible plants on Earth. Leaf powder is famous in Japan, but in India simmering these immature pods (drumsticks) in bean soup (Sambar) is daily home cooking. This soup fusing tamarind citric acid and Moringa's overwhelming vitamins/minerals is a 'drinkable beauty serum' and 'natural energy drink' for South Indians to survive harsh heat.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Since drumstick hard outer skin is inedible, hold with both hands making 'chu-chu' sounds with teeth, sucking exhaustively the sweet extracts inside to the marrow!
