Drumstick

Behind everything that you touch or see or consume has a story to it. Today my story is about drumstick or Moringa and how it has played a role in my life.

Drumstick or Moringa tree is a tree that is worth praised for its benefits, its known as almost all the parts of the tree are beneficial and used for various purposes. It’s interesting that this is a tree that can be easily grown with not much of an effort to it. Drumstick tree is known of its many health benefits to it, various parts of the tree is used as medicine, it’s also known that people who are diabetic or have liver problems can benefit from consuming drumstick dishes. I have been told that the mature seeds is used to make edible oil called ben oil.

We had drumstick trees in our old house where we grew up. It makes a huge difference when you step into your back yard and get fresh drumstick or its leaves whenever you feel like having it. One thing that saddens me is not having the space to grow our own vegitables and fruits as we used to have when we grew up. It makes a huge difference in taste in the dishes we make when we get to pick our own drumsticks. Picking up drumstick leaves to make an omelette for breakfast is one thing that gives a whole new meaning to breakfast table. We can tell the difference when using the store bought ones as it never gives the fresh feel of the ingredient. Fried drumstick leaves is a popular dish that it became a must to have with every meal. One of my favorite dishes is the curry were made from the drumstick itself. The curry is made with minimum ingredients yet it gives the taste that one would be begging for more every time it appears on the dinner table. For me on stressful days or having difficulty in sleeping I just have to have a cup of Moringa tea to calm me down as it has a soothing effect that takes your worries away.

So here it is the popular drumstick curry..
