Asian Palmyra Palm (Toddy Palm)

Asian Palmyra Palm (Toddy Palm)Have you tried this fruit? I am sure you have seen it atleast if not eaten it... I didn't know the name of this, which Rajesh and Anand prompty updated me through comments. Thanks to them.

Add a comment to tell us what this fruit is called in your local language.. ( ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ- at least ಕರಾವಳಿ
ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಹನೆ ಬೊ೦ಡ ಅ೦ತ ಕರೀತಾರೆ, if I
am not mistaken (ಹನೆ- ಮರದ ಹೆಸರು,
ಬೊ೦ಡ- ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಎಳನೀರಿನ೦ತೆ ಇರುವುದರಿ೦ದ))

Not sure if anyone makes juice out of it... Haven't seen any juice shops experimenting that, though I am sure this thing makes a good juice..

In my childhood I remember getting 3 fruits (3 fruits * 3 pieces) for Re 1.. Currently they are being sold at around Rs 4-5 per fruit (3 pieces)...

    It's the fruit of the Asian Palmyra Palm, also known as the Toddy Palm. Got it by going to the Wikipedia entry on Palm Trees. Here is a direct link.
