Toddy palm is any one of several palm trees that contain a sugary sap that can be used to make the fermented drink called toddy. The best-known toddy palms are wine, or fish-tail, palms, which grow in India and Malaysia. Wine palms bear leaves that consist of many fishtail-shaped leaflets. When young flowering shoots are cut off, up to 7 gallons (27 liters) of sap a day flows out from each tree. The pith in the stem is a source of sago.
