Palm sugar is a type of unrefined cane sugar that is made from the sap of palm trees. It has been used in many cultures for centuries as a natural sweetener, and it retains more nutrients than refined white sugar. The process of making palm sugar involves tapping the palm tree's flower bud to extract its sugary sap, which is then heated until it caramelizes into a golden syrup. This unprocessed sugar has a delicate flavor and can be used as a natural sweetener in many recipes or consumed directly by dipping a spoon into the jar of palm sugar.
