  🌴 What is Neera? Neera is a sweet, natural drink that comes from the sap of palm trees like the toddy palm or coconut palm. It is collected early in the morning before the sun rises. 🍯 Taste and Look: It is white or slightly cloudy and tastes sweet like coconut water or sugarcane juice. ⏳ Why It’s Special: It’s full of vitamins and minerals. Gives instant energy. Used in villages for hundreds of years. It must be drunk fresh – after a few hours it starts to ferment. 🛑 Why It’s Getting Lost: Needs care in collection and storage. Fresh Neera is not easily available in cities. Many people don’t know about it now. 📍 Where It’s Found: Mainly in states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and parts of North India. 🧓 Grandma Says: “In our childhood, we used to wait for the Neera man every morning. It was sweet, cool, and kept us fresh all day.”
