The habit of eating fruit juice of Palandamizhar

Palanjoru, one of the traditional food of Tamils, has become something that many people have forgotten or don’t want to remember. Palanjoor is now seen by many upper class people as the food of villagers or poor people. There is a tendency to look down on Palanchoru Unden or look at him as uncivilized among us today, especially among those who like western food, among the city dwellers, and among the rich. One of the fermented foods is palanjoru, which is a food that is boiled in water on the first day and eaten the next day. Our people do this to prevent wasting of cooked rice.

However, it is a matter of concern that fruit juice, which has been a strong side for the health of our ancestors for hundreds of years, has unfortunately become a food that has gone unnoticed by today’s generation who are enjoying fast food. However, even today, many villagers, people who live in the city but still maintain the countryside, especially those who work in the fields, gardeners, fishermen and other workers, regardless of age, gender, social status, religion, have the custom of eating oatmeal as their breakfast. They have or have made it their habit to drink fruit juice.

Similarly, the word Palanjoru is found in the record Tiruengoi Malai Eshupadu sung by Nakkeeradeva Nayanar in the eleventh cycle. “The Fruit Valley of Climate Cancer Spouse’s knot – eater Engoye holding a numeral, on red Mount Ganga” However, although the word palanjoru is found here, it is noteworthy that Nakkeer is not referring to the palanjoru that we eat, but the putanj choto found in the snake’s stomach. Similarly Ambalavanak Kavirayar sang Chathuragiri Arapalisura Sathagam “Balakab Palvarung who kills wrists Karark karanda white milk “Mushroom Murangaisurai Kommadi Palanjoru” he sings about Palanjoru.
