Toddy Tapping Agriculture \| Horticulture \| Fishing \| Toddy Tapping \| Forest wealth In addition you see rare examples of subsistence agricultural activities among indigenous people. Toddy tapping which is one of the oldest occupations of the land, is still keeping the inflow of revenue on a high. It is freely available and lends itself admirably to Parsi food and local bakery products. Traditionally, in and around Dahanu, toddy is extracted from the Palmyra tree whose fruit is the summer ice-apple commonly known as tadgola. The labourers who do the tapping are a skilled lot of the adivasis. They are known as Bhandaris, or toddy tappers. Gujarat being a dry state, many visitors come to Bordi, Gholvad and Dahanu in large numbers to get a kick out of toddy, the naturally fermented juice of the palmyra tree. But the same drink when taken in early hours of the day, better known as 'neera', in its pure and natural form is considered to be extremely good for the health as it is believed to have medicinal values.
