MODERATORS
Moringa leaves. The tree's hardy and ecologically sustainable. The drumstick fruits and the pods are edible but the leaves are the most nutritious. It also has the highest protein among leafy greens.
In south and south east asia, we consider it medicinal. But actually, it's just nutritious. We feed them in soup form to malnourished people and nursing mothers.
We eat it the same way! Though ours is a bit more watery and less spicy. Our Myanmar version also originated from southern India. The drumstick's eaten quite commonly but I think the leaves are still underrated, even here. May be because of the taste? Although I like it's taste in a simple savory soup.
I just looked this one up. I have never had this vegetable before
