Palm Sugar

When you’re in Vietnam at a wet market, check out the sugar. There are piles of different kinds in various shades, from mahogany and caramel brown, to yellow to cream to white to clear. Some are in crystals whereas some are hard and have to be scraped and poked at with a knife. The photo on the right is from Saigon's Cho Lon market.

What is palm sugar? 
In Vietnamese, đường means sugar. Palm sugar, called đường thốt nốt, is the boiled down sap gathered from the cut buds of sago or coconut palm trees; it may also be called đường tán. In the Vietnamese repertoire, đường cát trắng literally means “white sand sugar” and is the refined sugar that we know in the West. Đường phèn is crystal-like rock sugar, the stuff that makes Vietnamese soup broths rock (really!).

Palm_sugar-hard

Kinds of palm sugar: There are many types – the light yellow/pale brown hard stuff that’s used in Vietnam and Thailand, and the darker, smoky version preferred in Malaysia and Indonesia. Each has a unique complexity that is not found in refined cane sugar. The Viet and Thai palm sugar has delicate fragrance and sweetness. The Malay and Indonesian gula (sugar) is heartier and akin to mixing molasses with light brown sugar. Overall, Southeast Asian palm sugar isn’t intensely sweet, despite their pronounced character. Each one talks back to you in a unique flavor and tone. 

Along with the ones I took from Robyn, I purchased more from local Asian markets in the San Jose area. In a personal tasting of the sugars in the photo on the right, sometimes I sensed coconut and other times an unusual fruity quality. All the sugars had aroma too. The uncommon fudgy dark one on the spoon could have served as dessert. Robyn’s selection was the three darker ones. I encourage you to get some next time you shop and start playing with it! 

Palm-sugar-tasting
How to use palm sugar: Admittedly, sometimes I steal a bit of sugar and eat it. I don’t have a sweet tooth but the stuff tastes really good. But that’s not realistic. Palm sugar is usually solid or somewhat hard so you have to use a knife to shave or cut off pieces. Here are two suggestions for using palm sugar in Vietnamese cooking. 

Vietnamese  dipping sauces. Melt the sugar in hot water or just-boiled water, and then let the mixture cool completely before using it. You have to tinker with the flavor because each sugar has its own quality and level of sweetness. For consistency, make simple syrup and keep it in the fridge for your dipping sauces. 

Caramel sauce. Though I’ve never tried it, I think you can caramelize the lighter Thai and Viet sugar. However, don’t do that with already dark Malay and Indonesian gula jawa/melaka/aren; (jawa means Java and melaka is Malacca, two areas known for producing quality palm sugar; aren refers to arenga, a species of a genus of small to medium palms.) Don’t use a dark gula type of sugar as a substitute for caramel sauce because they lack the bittersweet quality of caramel sauce. 

A safe bet is to make caramel sauce with regular supermarket white cane sugar and then when you make your kho caramel sauce dishes, use palm sugar instead of regular white sugar to round out the flavors; sugar is usually added to the caramel sauce. Caramel sauce is tricky and can fail if there are impurities in the sugar. 
How to buy palm sugar: Locate palm sugar at Chinese and Southeast Asian markets. Check the Thai food section and the Indonesian/Malaysian food section (usually tucked away somewhere). In the U.S., palm sugar is usually available as tube shapes formed by packing them in bamboo, mounds that resemble falsies of various sizes, cut slices, in jars, and as disks. Buy at the mid to upper end of the price range for better quality. 
Storage tips: Store in a dry spot in airtight container or zip-top bag.

How to Identity Palm Jaggery

1. pure palm sugar melts or acquires moisture by itself when left open in the air for some time (If left uncovered at room temperature for some time).
2. It should not be hard, should be able to break the block of a palm sugar just with the pierce of a fork or a knife. This shows that it is not adulterated.
3. It should be dark brown in color to prove that it is minimally processed. Some brands of coconut palm sugar merely have (brown/white)sugar in the center and their exterior is coated with palm sugar. Since pure palm sugar is expensive than brown/white sugar, they gimmick to fill the hollow part with cheaper one.

How to Identify Palm Sugar

Palm sugar or palm jaggery is one of the healthy sugar substitutes that is available in the market today. Unlike sugar, it is unrefined and unbleached retaining all its nutrients. It has a smoky flavor and a rich aroma.
palm sugar coconut sugarThere are many kinds of palm sugar. It was originally made from the sugary sap of the Palmyra palm, the date palm or sugar date palm. Now it is also made from the sap of the sago and coconut palms and is sold with different names. In different countries or regions, it has different names malaysia- gula melaka, indonesia- gula merah, karupatti in tamil and thati bellam in telugu. Palm  sugar is the term used to refer to both Palmyra palm sugar and coconut palm sugar. Though the term is used interchangeably, both are not the same. One is derived from the sap of the Palmyra palm and other from the sap of the coconut tree.
