Neera or Padaneer is a transparent produce from palmyrah, which contains about ______.

  • A.3% - 6% sugar
  • B.12% - 16% sugar
  • C.20% - 30% sugar
  • D.35% - 40% sugar

Answer: B

The key gives 12 to 16 percent sugar for neera. Neera (padaneer) is the fresh sap tapped from palmyrah inflorescences and is a sweet, unfermented drink. I could not confirm the figure from a source, so it rests on the key.

3-6 percent is too low for a sap that is boiled into jaggery, and 20-40 percent is too high.

Fresh neera is sweet and ferments quickly unless it is kept cold or treated, so it is sold early in the morning or boiled for jaggery. The key gives its sugar content as 12 to 16 percent.
