Palm Sugar
Palm Sugar is a traditional, natural sweetener produced from the sap of various palm trees such as date palm, palmyra palm, and coconut palm. It is made by tapping the flower buds of the palm tree to collect sap, which is then gently boiled and crystallized to form natural sugar without chemical refining or additives.
Known for its rich caramel-like flavor and deep golden-brown color, palm sugar is a healthier alternative to refined sugar. It retains essential nutrients like iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium, and has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for health-conscious and diabetic-friendly diets.
India is a significant producer of palm sugar, especially in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka, where it is locally known as Karupatti or Panam Kalkandu. Indian palm sugar is highly valued in both domestic and international markets for its purity, taste, and nutritional profile.
