Goa is covered with beautiful shady, palm trees - the coconut palm is used in drinks, cooking, soap and cosmetics. The fragrant oil always reminds me of holidays. The husk, coir, is made into rope, the palm tree trunks are used in building and the leaves are plaited to make roofing. The sap makes a fierce local liquor called feni - if you're lucky you should see the amazing skill of the locals climbing up to the top of these tall trees to extract the potent juice. The Cashew trees also yield a yellow fruit which is used to make the pricier 'cashew feni' - it resembles tequila in taste, the resulting hangover is as rough as the drink! |
