This sugar is harvested from the watery sap that drips from the flower buds of the coconut palm or the sap of the sago, Arenga pinata palms.

This is not the same as palm sugar - Gula Jawa/Gula Melaka.

This sugar is also known as Arenga sugar.

This sugar is high in nutrients and has an extremely low glycemic index.

The sap is harvested every morning.

It is then boiled down in woks to resemble sticky sugar.
