3. Feni

Goan feni is very popular amongst tourists looking for souvenirs to take home. There are two kinds of feni available in Goa – Cashew Feni and Coconut Feni. The former is more in demand and hence easily available. If you are inquisitive about feni then you can see the feni making process at Goa Chitra Museum in Benaulim.
