Sweet sap or Toddy is harvested from Palmyra palm trees and processed on the same day to yield country sugar or jaggery or palm sugar. This is used as a natural sweetener. The tree is common to India, Srilanka and south-east Asia. It grows in the wild from Persian gulf to Cambodia. The Asian Palmyra Palm (tnaôt) is the national tree and a heritage symbol of Cambodia. It grows Near the Angkor Wat Temple. Palmyra Palm is also common in Thailand, especially in the north-east or Isaan provinces.

During the toddy season from January to June, the inflorescence of female palm trees (cluster of tiny immature fruits) is tapped and the sweet sap is collected every 24 hours. (If the inflorescence is left untouched, they will grow into clusters of palm fruits, the sweet pulp of which is also eaten. The male trees' inflorescence is not edible at any stage. But male trees are essential for pollination). The sweet sap is also consumed as a natural sweet drink. If the harvesting pot's interior surface is not coated with lime, then an alcoholic drink (palm liquor that is sour in taste) results due to fermentation. The sweet sap is heated and the concentrate is poured into wooden cast and left to solidify into palm sugar blocks. The word 'Jaggery' is derived from Sugar. Jaggery is brown in colour.

    This is extremely hard work and many hours of the day their life is on the ropes. This is one of the most riskiest job according to modern day safety standards and they do it as a tradition tradition for generations just to make living for the day. Never bargain these products because it is their tears, blood, sweat and hope for a better tomorrow. I wish they would have a better market for their products in future. Wishes from Australia
