Neera, the sweet, unfermented extract of the coconut or palmyra tree, is a traditional organic beverage known for its rich nutrients. Extracted at dawn in remote pockets of Chikamagalur, the skilled tappers collect this sap juice by carefully slicing the flower bud and securing a clay pot to gather the flowing nectar. This refreshing drink is packed with essential vitamins, amino acids, and minerals like potassium, iron, and magnesium. A powerhouse of hydration and energy, Neera aids digestion, regulates blood sugar, and boosts immunity. With its low glycemic index, it is a perfect natural beverage for a healthier lifestyle.
Change 2 is a social initiative to bring to fore these forgotten traditional foods through the process of awareness and market linkage. Raw Cafe in Chikamagalur is designed to act as an experience centre to try these wonderful beverages.
