Versatile Tree – Sugar Palm

Palm family is unique in its appearance that the majority of its members end Muli benefits for humanity is unmatched by few other trees. There are several palm species such as Borassus, Areca, Sago, Fish Tail etc. Because of their beautiful structure, many palm trees adorn the pale gardens.Though grow very big, they can also be raised in a home garden or pots nano. One of the largest palm sugar is known as palm.Botanically flabellifer Borassus, is widely distributed in tropical regions such as India, Sri Lanka, South East Asia, New Guinea, etc.

People in temperate regions, are not aware of this palm, and therefore are not as privileged people of the tropics in the performance evaluation at different times of the palm. The tree grows up to 30 meters high, with separate sexes. The female trees bear edible fruit about 20 cm in diameter.

Over a life span of fruit tree, palm sugar or palm toddy offers six types of edible parts at different stages. Immature or unripe fruits contain 2-3 boxes, and boxes contain a carbohydrate hydrolysis is very tasty. (Called “Munja” in Telugu language). At maturity, the carbohydrates are converted to starch and starch is difficult not edible. The boxes are in hard shells, which are covered by a fibrous material and fibrous material that was previously green-white and tasteless, it collects and transforms the fibers of sugar juicy red-orange.

This orange juice sweet and distinctive flavor (fruit, at this stage called Tati Pandu in Telugu) is mixed with flour and baked in cakes. If the ripe fruit is broken, the fruit falls to the ground and seeds (or boxes) generates a geotropic peg in the ground. The seed is hard material starch is further hydrolyzed into sugars and takes the form of a white solid mass of seeds (seeds on the ground with a peg in the ground at this stage is called “Burra gunju in Telugu). If this step is not interrupted , hydrolyzed starch is transferred to the grain in the ground and a cotyledon.

Once the transfer of sugars is completed, the cotyledon measuring 1-2 cm thick and 15-25 cm long cone-shaped and is edible again (this step is called Ortega in Telugu). If this step is not damaged, the cotyledon gives new life to a palm tree. While the first steps edible, ie Munja, Tati Pandu, Burra Tega gunju and are derived? Fruits, there are two other foods that may result from reserves of stored material at the bud of the tree. The equipment provided to support the growth of the tree and very useful in breeding, is very sweet and looks like a white cylindrical layers.

The interior of the layer, the softer it is (this is called a soft cylindrical part “muvva” or “movvu in Telugu. Derivatives? Sixth grade is called Toddy (‘Kallu in Telugu) is derived from the apical bud, a practicing’ incision. From this recording, the liquid food that is part of the translocation of the plant is managed and is a strong drink and energy to give.

Beyond food, there are many other benefits that he uses from time immemorial. The leaves are used to make mats and straw. The stalks are tough fibers that are woven to make ropes are difficult to build houses, boats, shells, etc. dry stems of leaves are used as fuel. The logs are used both as centers of living in a thatched hut, or in place of wood in the forest of sticks in the tree trunk is hollow, and is used directly as a boat (dhoni called in Telugu) for travel and fisheries in many parts of the tropics.

Thus, the Sugar Palm or Palm or Toddy Palm Palmyra is unmatched, even in the palm family, for the services it offers several times in his life other than this Indian stages.Apprecating to give the status of “son” because he cares only for their work, even in times of crisis.
