Lovely Palms

When touring the countryside of Petchaburi, I love the sight of tall palms dotting the rice fields!































































Checking out further, these are its fruits. Smaller than coconuts but distinctively different.
















A closer view

















Cut open, each has three of these jelly-like fruit within! Sweet but not too sweet.

















Beside the fruit, palm sugar & drinks comes from it too!





















Boiling away the water content with low fire to extract sugar





















Laying out the sugar into cake form, light brown in color





















Palm sugar are used in cooking and making of desserts
