Drumstick is one of the world’s most useful trees with potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable land care. From leaves and root to pods and seeds, all parts of the drumstick tree are highly edible.

Usage of drumstick powder is mainly used in curries, kormas, and dal. Apart from that it also makes good savory cutlets. It imparts that special flavour to sambars and is used as a thickening agent. It gives a distinct palatable taste and is a rich source of glutamic acid and it is highly useful in joint pains. Dehydrated drumstick powder is an integral part of Indian cuisine and is extensively used in many food and curry preparations.
