🌾 What Is Palm Sugar?
Palm sugar is a natural sweetener made by boiling and dehydrating the sap from palm trees—most commonly coconut palm, date palm, or palmyra palm. Revered for its low glycemic index, rich flavor, and minimal processing, it is widely used in traditional Asian, African, and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Palm sugar is considered an eco-friendly, unrefined alternative to cane sugar, retaining minerals like potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron.
