Palm wine
Palm wine also known as palm toddy or kallu is a traditional alcoholic beverage consumed in many parts of Asia, Africa and South America. It is created from the sap of various species of palm tree such as the palmyra, date palms and coconut palms.
Etymology
The term "palm wine" is derived from the palm tree from which the sap is extracted to produce the beverage. The word "wine" is used due to the fermentation process that the sap undergoes, similar to the process of making grape wine.
Production
Palm wine production by small holders and individual farmers may promote conservation as palm trees become a source of regular household income that may economically be worth more than the value of timber sold.
Consumption
Palm wine is consumed in several countries and is usually sold fresh, though it can be refrigerated to extend its shelf life. The taste varies depending on the species of palm tree from which it was harvested, the stage of fermentation and the method of storage.
Health Effects
While palm wine can provide certain health benefits when consumed in moderation, excessive consumption can lead to health problems including liver disease and neurological problems.
