Thanks!

you can find it in chinese stores and indian stores too. i saw these leaves in ranch which is also called great wall of china in seattle, wa .

Thanks advitha and narra

I have never seen in our indian store or the chinese/korean fresh vegetable section.I never checked the frozen section for this though.

Is there any particular name that we should ask for them or drumstick leaves would suffice?

hi, i never see the names if i find any my south side leaves like amarnath and bachali leaves which is also called purslane leaves, just i can grab it. because we couldnot find it in winter times here. I will definetely tell you the name if I go to the store. thank you

hi,
i found drum stick leaves in chinese store and they called it as "MALANGAL". its little bit pricey $6.99 per lb. maybe its cheaper at your place. hope it helps.

I have too seen them in Mexican stores and ranch market..Are you in bay area..If so sure you can find them...As someone said it is quite costly...

Would like to mention a tip regarding drumstick leaves

Cook them the same day you get it and do not have them for dinner..It is very rich iron and also very hard to digest..that too in colder regions and winter season it is better to consume less..
