Wayang Javanese Palm Sugar, also known as Gula Jawa or Gula Djawa, is a traditional Indonesian palm sugar made by reducing palm sap. It has a rich, lightly roasted flavour with notes of caramel and coffee. Its distinctive aroma sets it apart from ordinary dark brown sugar.

Javanese palm sugar is widely used in Indonesian cooking, from savoury stews, sauces and marinades to desserts and sweet treats. It also brings a warm caramel-like flavour to coffee, tea and milk. Traditionally, sap is collected from the flowering part of a palm and boiled down into a thick brown mixture. This solid sugar is easy to portion by shaving or cutting off a small piece. According to the supplied product information, Javanese palm sugar is also available in liquid form.

Preparation and storage

Cut or grate off the amount needed and add it to your recipe. For drinks or syrup, gently heat the sugar and dissolve it in water or milk.
