Couldn't load pickup availability
Shigru Sing Churna from Riddhish Herbals is a single-ingredient Ayurvedic powder milled from sun-dried Moringa oleifera pods — the drumstick pod, known in Gujarati as Saragva ni Sing and in Hindi as Sahjan ki Phalli. It is a different, pod-only material from Riddhish Herbals' separate Shigru Pan Churna, which is made from Moringa leaves. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Shigru Sing Churna
Shigru Sing Churna is milled entirely from the pod (Sing/Shing in Gujarati and Hindi, commonly called the drumstick) of the Moringa oleifera tree, sun-dried and coarsely ground. The word 'Sing' specifically means the long, hanging pod of the tree — the vegetable widely used in Gujarati and South Indian cooking — and is distinct from 'Pan' (leaf).
Riddhish Herbals lists this pod powder separately from its leaf-based Shigru Pan Churna (Saragva Pan / Moringa Leaf Powder) so customers can choose the exact plant part their Ayurvedic physician or family recipe calls for.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
The Moringa (Shigru) tree as a whole is referenced across classical Ayurvedic literature. The Charaka Samhita places Shigru in the Krimighna (classically described in the context of intestinal-worm-related conditions), Svedopaga (used in sweating-therapy preparations) and Shirovirechanopaga (used in nasal-cleansing preparations) groupings, within the Katuka Skandha (pungent-taste group). The Sushruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya (Vagbhata) place Shigru in the Varunadi gana, a group of plants classically used together in the Varunadi Kashaya preparation. The Bhavaprakasha Nighantu additionally records three named varieties of Shigru.
These classical references describe the Shigru plant broadly rather than the pod specifically by a separate Sanskrit term — a distinct single-word classical name for the pod alone was not independently verified this session, so none is asserted here. The pod's everyday identity as a nutritious vegetable (Shaka) in Gujarati and South Indian kitchens is well established and is separately supported by modern nutrition research (see Research on the Constituents below).
Key Features
- Single-ingredient pod churna: a coarse powder milled solely from sun-dried Moringa oleifera pods (Shigru Sing) — no leaves, seeds or other plant parts added.
- Distinct from Shigru Pan Churna: Riddhish Herbals also sells a separate, leaf-only powder (Shigru Pan Churna / Saragva Pan); this listing is the pod (Sing) form only.
- Classically referenced across Ayurvedic groupings: Shigru appears in the Charaka Samhita's Krimighna, Svedopaga and Shirovirechanopaga groups, and in the Sushruta/Vagbhata Varunadi group.
- Notable nutrient content: published nutrition research reports the dried pod as a meaningful source of plant protein, dietary fibre and minerals such as potassium and magnesium.
- Genuine, doctor-guided sourcing: bill provided with every pack; a store trusted since 2015.
Research on the Constituents
◆ A 2025 nutrient-profiling study of dried Moringa oleifera pods found them to be a meaningfully protein-rich, low-fat plant material — reporting roughly 19.7 g protein and only about 3.2 g fat per 100 g dry weight, alongside notable dietary fibre and minerals including potassium and magnesium — (Hunthayung K & Bhawamai S, 2025 — Bioactive Compounds in Health and Disease, 8(5):217–230).

◆ A published review of Moringa oleifera's nutritive composition and traditional medicinal application, covering the plant's pods, leaves, seeds and other parts, summarised its recognised value as a nutrient-dense food and traditional-use material across published nutrition literature — (Gopalakrishnan L, Doriya K & Kumar DS, 2016 — Food Science and Human Wellness, 5:49–56).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shigru Sing Churna?
