Syrup

Palm Sap Syrup

Palm sap syrup is the liquid sweetener from boiled palm blossom or trunk sap—butterscotch-mineral, pourable, and distinct from solid palm sugar blocks. Regional palms (arenga, borassus, coconut-adjacent saps) shape flavour. Use like coconut nectar or light maple. Not refined white sugar from palm industrial streams.

Also known as: Palm Syrup, Liquid Palm Sugar
