Odiyal

Dry Odiyal & Odiyal Chips is a traditional dried food made from the palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer), commonly found in Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, and parts of Southeast Asia. It is made by boiling and sun-drying the sprouted palmyra tuber, resulting in a hard, fibrous, and starchy snack. Odiyal is a rich source of dietary fiber and carbohydrates, making it a good energy-boosting food. It aids in digestion due to its high fiber content and helps maintain a healthy gut. Odiyal also contains essential minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium, which support bone health and overall body function. Additionally, it is a natural, preservative-free food, often used in traditional remedies to improve stamina and immunity. However, it should be consumed in moderation due to its hard texture and high starch content.
