Information profile @ a Glance
- Palm sugar was originally made from the sugary sap of the Palmyra
palm , the date palm or sugar date palm . Now it is also made from the
sap of the sago, arenga pinnata and coconut palms
- Indians have two varieties of Palmyra sugar. One is unrefined and is
in the form of hard blocks of dark brown sugar. This known as Karuppatti
in Tamil. Kerala in India also has this palm sugar known as karipotti
and is used to make coffee known as karipotti kapi.This is used as a
sweetener for making certain types of cakes and biscuits. To the east,
West Bengal also has a date palm jaggery variant, available as a dark
brown liquid (nolen or notun gur)and as a solid, dark brown block (patali
gur). It is used to prepare rich milk based desserts.
- Palmyra sugar is nutrient rich, and has a low Glycemic Index (GI).
The sugar tastes, looks, melts, and almost dissolves in the same way as
the ordinary white sugar. Since it isn’t bleached or refined, our
process leaves all its nutrients remain intact. Therefore, our Palmyra
Sugar contains a number of Minerals, Vitamins, Phytonutrients, Calcium,
and Iron. It has a very rich taste similar to caramel or butterscotch,
but doesn’t have an after-taste, which makes it perfectly suitable to
any kind of drinks or foods
