Description
Palm sugar is a natural sweetener made from the sap of various palm trees, such as date, coconut, or sugar palms. It has a rich, caramel-like flavor and a deep golden-brown color. Often used in Southeast Asian cuisines, especially Thai and Indonesian dishes, it adds a subtle sweetness and depth to curries, sauces, desserts, and beverages. This sugar is less processed than white sugar and retains some trace minerals, making it a preferred choice for traditional cooking.
