Drumsticks
Nature’s Powerhouse. Nutritious & Fresh
Didwaniya Group supplies premium-grade drumsticks (Moringa oleifera pods) known for their tender texture, earthy flavor, and exceptional nutritional value. Harvested from trusted farms and hygienically packed, our drumsticks are widely sought after by global buyers for their culinary versatility and health-promoting properties.
Drumsticks, derived from the Moringa oleifera tree—often referred to as the "Miracle Tree"—are long, slender green pods prized for both their flavor and nutrition. Native to the Indian subcontinent, the Moringa tree thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. The pods are typically 20–45 cm long, with a tough outer skin and soft, fleshy interior filled with small round seeds. They offer a mild, slightly bitter flavor when raw, but turn soft and flavorful when cooked, releasing a distinct earthy aroma.
India is the largest producer and exporter of drumsticks, with Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka leading cultivation. Didwaniya Group ensures that its drumsticks are freshly harvested, quickly processed, and packed to preserve nutritional quality and natural taste.

Drumsticks are a staple in Indian kitchens, particularly in South Indian cuisine. They are widely used in dishes like sambar, drumstick curry, kormas, and even stir-fries. In addition to culinary use, drumsticks are celebrated for their health benefits—rich in vitamin C, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. In Ayurveda and traditional Indian medicine, they are used to support digestion, boost immunity, and reduce inflammation. Beyond India, demand is rising globally due to the superfood status of moringa, making these pods a vital export item in fresh and frozen forms.
