Organic Palm Sugar

Palm sugar is a natural sweetener made from the sap of various palm trees, such as coconut, date, or palmyra palms. The sap is collected, boiled down to remove water, and then allowed to cool and crystallize into a solid form or granules. The 'organic' designation means it is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Palm sugar is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide range of food products, offering a caramel-like flavor. It is often found in baked goods, desserts, beverages, and savory dishes, particularly in products marketed as natural or organic alternatives to refined sugars.

Palm sugar is a source of carbohydrates and calories, similar to other sugars. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers palm sugar, like other common sugars, to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025-2030 recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. As a natural food ingredient, palm sugar is not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA for an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) as a food additive.
