Introduction and history
Air Jando Pulang is a special drink that is synonymous with the Waghih community in Negeri Sembilan. This drink consists of a mixture of young coconut water added with fine young coconut filling and enau sugar, giving a unique sweetness and freshness. Air Jando Pulang is the choice of many, especially during the month of Ramadan, and can be found sold in various locations around Negeri Sembilan, which is renowned for the Adat Perpatih tradition.
Although the name carries elements of the word "jando" (widow), this drink is not actually related to any individual with widow status. The name Air Jando Pulang comes from the symbolism of its preparation process. The coconut is picked, and the top is peeled while the bottom is levelled. Then, the coconut water and fillings are taken out and then put back into the coconut. This process is analogous to the concept of "jando pulang," which is something that returns, similar to a coconut that is processed and filled again. That is the origin of the name Air Jando Pulang, which has now become an iconic drink for the people of Negeri Sembilan.
Air Jando Pulang is not just a refreshing drink but also functions in various aspects of the life of the Negeri Sembilan community. It helps to quench thirst and hydrate the body with young coconut water, while enau sugar provides natural energy that is extremely beneficial, especially for fasting people. This drink also supports digestion due to its fiber content, making it a good choice for gut health. In addition, Air Jando Pulang symbolizes the cultural identity of the Waghih community and is an important symbol in the Adat Perpatih tradition, as well as attracting tourists who want to experience the uniqueness of Negeri Sembilan, thus promoting the local cultural heritage.
