Why to visit Hoka Trees
These plants are considered as Hokka or Hyphaene Indica, and they are a rare variety of African Hoka branching palm tree. Except in Diu, these aren't found anywhere else in India. The Portuguese introduced these trees to India, and they are abundant in Diu. This tree's fruit has a lovely appearance and is tasty. It is also thought to have medical characteristics and the ability to cure certain disorders.
The structure of Hoka trees is distinctive, with branches and offshoots radiating from the central trunk. They are most typically seen around oases in desert settings. The Hoka seed is a gorgeous red-oval structure that hovers high up in the palm-like form of the trees, resembling a cricket ball. Ancient Egyptians employed these fruits in their funerary ceremonies. It is incredibly nutritious, with residents of Diu and Saurashtra, as well as other natives in other parts of the world where they are located, using pieces of its contents in various places while cooking. Hoka seeds are used to make the native 'Tadi.'
