Some people who know about the Neera drink in real are saying that the drink being sold at the Neera cafe is not that pure and tastes like Jaggery water.
Neera is tapped early in the morning and served right under the palm trees. Even that is also adulterated some time to make business.
But the Neera cafe is doing a good business here at Necklace road. People who do not know about Toddy and Neera area also coming to this cafe and tasting the Neera.
Some people said that it is tasting like sweet water. Neera in general is not sweet in nature.
They are selling around 2,000 glasses of neera per day. “Five hundred liters of toddy is also brought in, filtered, bottles to the cafe. This is the first time that Neera is being sold in corporate style under the posh ambience.
“Neera which is tapped from the palm tree before sunrise turns into toddy once it is exposed to the heat of the sun, getting its alcoholic property. They ensure that once it is tapped it is kept in temperatures close to zero degrees Celsius, so that no fermentation take place.”
The best of hygiene is maintained from the tapping to bottling. The pure Neera has all the medicinal properties, but you really do not know what is that you are drinking.
