Drumstick leaves, boiled in unsalted water

Drumstick leaves are the leaves of the moringa tree, eaten as a vegetable. The figures here describe leaves boiled in unsalted water. They provide carbohydrate and protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 11g of carbohydrate, 6.6g of protein, 220µg of folate and 280mg of calcium.

Folate is needed for normal cell division and the formation of red blood cells. Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. These leaves contain little salt when boiled without added salt, although salt added during cooking or at the table will increase the amount. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
