The nutritional powerhouse: Palm fruit drink (Thal Kurumba)

In recent years, health-conscious consumers have been on the lookout for natural and nutritious alternatives to sugary beverages. One such gem that has been gaining popularity is the palm fruit drink. Derived from the vibrant red fruit of the palm tree, this drink not only boasts a unique flavor profile but also offers a plethora of health benefits.

Interestingly, it is widely available in the northern side of Sri Lanka, where it has been a cherished part of the local culinary and cultural heritage for generations. The translucent jelly-like produce is carefully extracted from the palm fruit. The addition of natural sweeteners, such as sugar cane or honey, heightens the palatability while preserving the fruit’s essence. It therefore acts as an evidence to the remarkable flavors and nutrition that nature offers.

Do not forget to try out this amazing tropical drink during your next visit to Sri Lanka.
