The words of Mathilde Rœllinger

The sap from Cambodian sugar palm blossoms has a delicate, sweet taste with hints of honey and vanilla.  

The sugar has a delightful crunch and texture. 

Story

Palm sugar is derived from the blossoms of Cambodian sugar palms (BORASSUS flabellifer), a species of trees not to be confused with oil palms. Sugar palm nectar is gathered from the flowers without harming or cutting down the trees themselves.  

Sugar palm trees grow wild all over Cambodia and have a life span of up to 70 years. They play an integral part in both Cambodia’s landscape and cultural heritage. The sugar palms used to make our Palm Flower Sugar grow in a province in central Cambodia where the climate is perfect for the trees and the growers use traditional methods to give the sugar a distinctive flavor with notes of vanilla and caramel.  

The unrefined sugar retains all its natural minerals and trace elements.
