About Nongu

Nongu, also known as ice apple or toddy palm fruit, is a refreshing tropical delicacy obtained from the Palmyra palm, predominantly found in South and Southeast Asia. This translucent, jelly-like fruit boasts a subtly sweet flavor and is highly valued in Indian cuisine, particularly in summer for its hydrating properties. Nutrient-rich yet low in calories, nongu is an excellent source of electrolytes, vitamins B and C, and essential minerals like potassium and calcium, making it ideal for rehydration and maintaining energy levels. Its high water content and natural sugars provide instant cooling and nourishment, while its fiber supports healthy digestion. Consumed raw, as a juice, or incorporated in desserts, nongu is largely wholesome, though excessive intake of sugary preparations could offset its healthful benefits. As nature’s cooling remedy, nongu is a perfect balance of taste and nutrition for hot climates.
