Palm Fruit (Nongu & Pananga) is now become a regular scene in our streets. Most of the Palm Fruits are coming from Palakkad district. Earlier the fruit was sold in Palakkad District only. But now it has become popular among people of other districts also. Most of the people who sell the fruit in Ernakulam/ Tripunithura areas belongs from Palakkad.
I had purchased the fruit from a road side seller for Rs.20/- and I got only 4 pieces of Nongu, which is available in one fruit (Rs.5 per piece). The taste is almost similar as of tender coconut. It helps our body keep cool and thereby gets some relief from the rising heat of the sun.
When I raised doubts about the availability of the same in Ernakulam, the street seller told me that the Palm Fruits are supplying from Palakkad. There are so many people from Palakkad are now selling this fruit in various parts of Ernakulam District.
Palm Fruits are placed in a road side for sale.

When you see the sale of Palm Fruit in road side for sale, stop your vehicle and have the fruit pieces and feel the difference.
