Drumstick pods, boiled in unsalted water

Drumstick pods are the long seed pods of the moringa tree, eaten as a vegetable. The figures here describe pods boiled in unsalted water. Per 100g, they provide 6.1g of carbohydrate, 2.1g of protein, 0.2g of fat and 460mg of potassium. Carbohydrate is their main energy-providing nutrient.

Potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. These pods contain little fat, with only trace amounts of saturated fat. Although no salt is added during boiling, the food contains some naturally occurring sodium. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
