Air Nira Nipah: An Exotic Malaysian Drink |
Nira Nipah mangrove palms in Merbok, Kedah, Malaysia. |
In Malaysia, the flower cluster of this plant is tapped to yield its sweet, edible sap. The process starts by fitting a bamboo tube into an exposed stalk to allow the translucent sap to be collected twice daily for 30 continuous days. Air nira is almost always drank as it is, and this sweet and nutritious drink comes with abundance of essential integrants and minerals such as sucrose, protein, fiber, magnesium, vitamin A and many more. It hydrates and nourishes the body while keeping it energetic and refreshed, while providing countless health benefits including to aid digestion, act as a body coolant or a diabetic-friendly beverage replacement, as well as having the ability to improve liver functions.

Air nira nipah can also be manufactured into jaggery, sweeteners or concentrated syrup due to the high sweetness intensity. Some producers collect the sap to further ferment it into a local alcoholic drink known fondly as tuak.
