About Palm sugar
Palm sugar is a natural sweetener derived from the sap of various palm trees, including date palms and sugar palms. Widely used in Southeast Asian, Indian, and African cuisines, it adds a rich caramel-like flavor to dishes, from desserts to savory curries. Unlike refined sugar, palm sugar retains some trace nutrients like potassium, iron, and zinc due to minimal processing. It has a lower glycemic index compared to white sugar, making it a better option for managing blood sugar levels. However, it’s still a form of sugar and should be consumed in moderation, especially for those watching their calorie intake or managing diabetes. Its unique flavor and unrefined quality make it a prized ingredient in traditional recipes, offering a natural alternative to highly processed sweeteners.
