How is evaporated palm nectar produced

Farmers climb the coconut palms and collect the sugar blossom nectar by gently slicing the flower. Once harvested the nectar is transferred into kettles. The evaporation process lowers the moisture content of the nectar before it is allowed to set into a solid nectar "brick".Once the nectar has cooled and solidified it is then ground into granules.
