Drumstick leaves, raw

Drumstick leaves are the edible leaves of the moringa tree, eaten as a leafy vegetable. The figures here describe the leaves in their raw form. They provide carbohydrate and protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 9.2g of carbohydrate, 7.4g of protein, 165mg of vitamin C and 370µg of folate.

Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Folate is needed for normal cell division and blood formation. Cooking can change the nutrient content, particularly the amount of vitamin C, so these raw values may not represent cooked leaves. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
