Just a good after-lunch candy or a subtle substitute for sugar, we love it for its mild sweetness. A popular item of Tiruchendur, made from ‘pathaneer’, a sweet drink extracted from palm trees. It has to be extracted before sunrise, to prevent it from fermenting in the heat. A tree climber will have to climb up and down about 50 times over night to collect enough ‘pathaneer.’ Then it is dried and crystallised to make palm candy. The flavour is delicious- mix it into a hot pot of tea, and enjoy the gift- its precious, it took a lot of handwork and patience to make this. The candy has travelled a long way to you. It was destined for you.
