Pontiac Pure Palm Sugar, also known as Gula Aren Jaggery, is a natural sweetener made from the sap of the Palmyra palm tree. It is a popular sweetener in Southeast Asian countries, particularly Indonesia and India.
To make Pontiac Pure Palm Sugar, the sap from the Palmyra palm tree is collected and boiled to remove the moisture. The resulting syrup is then poured into molds and left to cool, forming solid blocks of palm sugar.
Pontiac Pure Palm Sugar has a rich and complex flavor, with notes of caramel and toffee. It is a healthier alternative to refined sugar, as it has a lower glycemic index and contains vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium.
This palm sugar can be used in a variety of dishes, both sweet and savory. It is commonly used in Indonesian and Indian desserts, as well as in curries and other savory dishes. It can also be used to sweeten coffee, tea, and other beverages.
The 500g package of Pontiac Pure Palm Sugar is a convenient size for use in home cooking and baking. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture to maintain its quality.
