The Story Behind Coconut Toddy

Coconut toddy tapping is one of Nauru's oldest traditions. Each family had designated palm trees and the knowledge of tapping was passed down through generations.

Fresh toddy is naturally sweet and nutritious, consumed as a daily beverage before modern sodas became available.

The tradition of toddy tapping is now rare but culturally cherished.
