Lost beverage: Neera (Palm Nectar)

 🌴 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.”
