Description
Traditional palm candy, made the old way
HorticoGreens Panam Kalkandu, also called palm candy or palm rock candy, is crystallised from palm sap and traditionally processed with no added chemicals or preservatives. It has a mild, earthy sweetness that refined sugar doesn't have.
Choose from two crystal sizes:
- Medium crystals are best for eating as they are, or for chewing slowly.
- Small crystals dissolve faster in milk, tea, coffee and warm drinks.
Why choose palm candy
- Lower glycaemic index than white sugar: about 35, compared with about 65 for white sugar.
- Naturally contains minerals: including potassium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, manganese and copper, along with small amounts of plant compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids and anthocyanidins.
- A traditional cooling sweetener: used for generations in South Indian homes in milk, kashayam and sweets.
- Contains B vitamins: including B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 and B6, plus folic acid, choline and inositol.
- Less refined than white sugar: a natural source of energy, made by traditional methods with nothing added.
How to use
Enjoy it as it is, dissolve it in warm milk or tea, or use it in place of sugar in payasam, pongal and other traditional sweets.
