The Story Behind Coconut Toddy

Coconut toddy is an ancient Melanesian beverage collected from the flower clusters of coconut palms. Fresh toddy is naturally sweet and mildly effervescent.

If left to ferment, it becomes alcoholic, but fresh toddy is enjoyed by all ages as a nutritious drink.

The practice of toddy tapping connects Ni-Vanuatu people to their coconut palms in a daily ritual.
