Lagmi is the sap collected from the heart of the date palm. It is usually served fresh and chilled, with a sweet, milky taste that is wonderfully refreshing in the desert heat.
It is well known around Tozeur and Nefta, and a good example of how every part of the palm is used.
Because it is a fresh product, lagmi is best enjoyed locally. If you visit us, we can tell you where to taste it.
