Drumstick is a vegetable. It is very long, about 1 ½” - 2 feet long and thus resembles a giant bean. Its fibrous outer layers cover a mushy inside with edible seeds. Only the insides with the seeds are consumed. This is done by putting the drumstick piece into the mouth and sucking out the insides while pulling the outer layer through the teeth.
