The drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) is so named because of its long pods that look like drumsticks. In addition to industrial uses, the drumstick tree has detoxifying, anti-bacterial, and Ayurvedic properties.
The drumstick plant originates from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, where it spontaneously grows at the foot of the Himalayas. It’s a deciduous tree of the Moringaceae family. The Moringaceae genus consists of 13 species of tropical and subtropical herbs or trees[1].
