Palm flowers and palm wine.

Steemians. How are you today, I'm going to share some photos of ijiuk flowers. This plant is known by various names such as enau, hanau, sack, juk or fibers.

The Dutch knew him as arenpalm or zuikerpalm and the Germans called him zuckerpalme. In English it is called sugar palm or Gomuti palm.

Sugar is a plant that is protected by law.

The flesh is actually part of the leaf-shaped sheath.

The leaves are pinnate, such as coconut leaves, long up to 5 m with petiole up to 1.5 m. The child leaves like a wavy ribbon, up to 7 x 145 cm, dark green on top and whitish by the waxy coating on the underside

In many parts of Indonesia, nira is also commonly fermented into a kind of alcoholic beverage called tuak or in the eastern region also called saguer. This tuak is obtained by applying one or several kinds of bark or roots (eg bark of nirih (Xylocarpus) or jungle mangosteen (Garcinia)) into sap and allowing it one to several nights to proceed. Depending on the ingredients added, the resulting tuak may taste slightly sweet, slightly sour or bitter
