About Toddy

Toddy is a naturally fermented drink derived from the sap of palm trees, commonly consumed in southern Indian states such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It has a sweet, mildly sour flavor with a slight alcoholic content that develops due to natural fermentation. Traditionally, toddy is tapped fresh from palm trees and consumed immediately or within a day, making it a local delicacy.

This beverage is low in protein and fat, with most of its calories coming from natural sugars and alcohol formed during fermentation. It contains minimal amounts of minerals such as calcium, potassium, and iron, and negligible vitamins except for trace vitamin C. Being a locally produced fresh beverage, toddy is naturally vegan and free from common allergens.
