Aren Sugar

Aren Palm Sugar, known in Indonesia as Gula Aren, is a traditional palm sugar made from the sap of the Aren palm (Arenga pinnata). This tropical palm tree grows mainly in Southeast Asia and can reach heights of approximately 20 metres.

It is also an excellent sweetener for coffee, tea, coconut milk and a variety of Asian dishes. With its rich aroma and distinctive flavour, Aren Palm Sugar adds a delicious touch to both sweet and savoury recipes.

What is palm sugar

Palm sugar is extracted from the top of the palm tree where the palm tree blooms. Here a notch is made from which the juice comes. This juice is collected and strongly reduced to a thick brown paste. The taste of this juice can be compared to caramel with a slightly salty and alcoholic taste. The lighter the color after boiling, the more the end product tastes like regular sugar.
