About Kaya jam

Kaya Jam is a sweet, creamy spread originating from Southeast Asia, particularly popular in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. Made with coconut milk, eggs, sugar, and sometimes fragrant pandan leaves, this jam boasts a rich, custard-like texture and a natural coconut aroma. Traditionally enjoyed on toast or paired with soft-boiled eggs, it is a staple in local breakfasts. Kaya is rich in flavor but comes with a high sugar content, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. While the coconut milk provides healthy fats and some nutrients, the combination of sugar and eggs can contribute to a high calorie count. It is not recommended for those seeking low-sugar or low-cholesterol options but can be a delightful indulgence when balanced within an overall healthy diet. For those mindful of their intake, reduced-sugar or alternative recipes may suit better.
