Maesri Palm Sugar

Palm sugar, also known across Asia as jaggery or nam tan peep in Thai, is a crystalline sweetener which comes from the nectar of flowers high up in coconut palm trees. Palm sugar has similar properties to the more common cane sugar, but is richer in nutrients because it hasn't been bleached or refined - hence the butterscotch colour. This coconut palm sugar has a complex, well-rounded taste with fudgey, caramel-notes making it a great addition to curries, satay sauce or even a sweet syrup to dress sago pudding.
