Your journey begins with a short walk to a local production area where villagers prepare palm brown sugar using traditional methods.
Here, your host will introduce the process and explain how coconut sap is collected daily from the trees.
Before it becomes brown sugar, the fresh sap nira is collected and can be enjoyed as a natural drink.
You will have the chance to taste this fresh liquid, known as “jungle juice,” with its light, slightly sweet flavor straight from nature.
The sap is then slowly cooked over a traditional fire, transforming it into thick, rich palm brown sugar.
This process requires patience and skill, as the liquid gradually changes texture and color while being carefully stirred.
As the process finishes, the palm sugar is shaped and prepared for daily use.
Your host will explain how it is used in local cooking and traditions, offering insight into an essential part of village life
