Moringa pods

Moringa oleifera, known popularly as drumstick tree, is a tropical plant grown for its nutritious leafy greens, flower buds, and mineral-rich, tender fruit pods.
Moringa is a well-recognized member of the Moringaceae family of trees and thought to be originated in the sub-Himalayan forests of the Indian subcontinent. It possesses horseradish-like root and, hence, known to the West as horseradish tree. Their young, tender seed pods are popular as murangai in Tamil, and malunggay in the Philippines.
Scientific name: Moringa oleifera.
