Javanese Sugar

Javanese Palm Sugar, also known as Gula Jawa or Gula Djawa, is a traditional Indonesian palm sugar with a wonderfully rich and distinctive flavour. Made from the sap of palm trees, this natural sweetener is a popular ingredient in Indonesian and other Asian cuisines.

Gula Jawa has a deep, slightly roasted flavour with delicious notes of coffee and caramel. Its taste is somewhat similar to dark brown sugar, but with a unique aroma that adds extra depth to both sweet and savoury dishes.

In Indonesian cooking, Javanese Palm Sugar is widely used in traditional recipes, sauces, marinades, desserts and sweet treats. It is also an excellent sweetener for hot beverages such as coffee, tea and milk.

The sugar is easy to prepare by gently heating and dissolving the desired amount in water or milk. Depending on your recipe, you can melt a small portion or the entire quantity.

For added convenience, Javanese Palm Sugar is also available in liquid form in our webshop.

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 out. This juice is collected and greatly 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 reducing, the more the end product tastes like regular sugar.
