Drumstick leaves are often used to make sambars, keerai or boiled in water and given to lactating mothers. Rich in nutritional and medicinal value, drumstick leaves are a good source of protein, calcium, Vitamins A, B and C, iron and other minerals. This powder is best served with hot rice and a dollop of ghee.

I am looking for a regular supply of murrungakai leaves to the UK in powder form. Can you supply them? Do the leaves lose their properties when dried and made to a powder?

Sorry! We do not deal with Moringa leaf powder. You would have to check at a different place. All the best!
