Palm Sugar, how it's made. 

Excellent. i live in Florida, USA. I will do this with my trees!! thank you!!!! Thailand

That's very interesting. I don't think there's any one plant in the world that's more versatile than the coconut palm.

im in toronto and i buy the palm sugar in the chinese grocery. it does say "made in thailand"..oh woman, it is sooo tasty and exotic..thnx a million for the video. youre awesome!

Thank you! I love the place and the people. It was a sweet surprise to visit a place where there is no tourist around. It is real and authentic.

love the video..thanks for showing how palm sugar is made... never knew it comes from the flower....

Thank you for sharing this. The video is interesting and informative!

Thank you, I love to watch it as well. I was such a beautiful morning.

It's the first time i see coconut sugar, previously only cane one i think. Thanks for video, i love Thailand ^^

Thanks, it is very delicious. You can use both for sweet and savory dishes. It is low glycemic natural sweetener. You may have to experience with it but in my kitchen I use the same amount of brown or palm sugar interchangeably. Now you can find in natural market in powder form and liquid form. Have fun cooking them.

With 1 cup for each coconut tree a day is too little. In Tuvalu, a good coconut tree can produce 3 gallons a day of sap. How much sap you get out of a single tree depends on the tree and the skill of the cutter (farmer). Some trees are better in producing sap than others; an average tree should produce 0.5 to 0.75 gallon a day. In Tuvalu, we cut and collect sap twice a day, one in the morning (6-8am) and in the afternoon (4-6pm).

its called " Gula kelapa Merah " from Coconut Tree... and "Gula Aren Merah" from Gomuti Palm .. this two kind sugar palm dominate in indonesia

It is technically wrong to call this nectar. It is sap, just like maple sap us, only that the sap comes from the flower stalks of the coconut! Nectar is the sugar containing liquid of a mature flower.

This was so interesting to watch. Thank you for making this available to watch. I really wish I could have reached in and had a taste! Does it have a caramel like taste?

It tastes like caramel I love it

Thank you, I would love to try it. It is a healthy choice for sugar.

Interesting to see how it's done. However, the plastic is not a good thing to be used in that process.

There are the same. Coconut palm sugar or coconut sugar! But there are two kinds of palm sugar from two types of palm tree: one is coconut palm and one is toddy palm. From coconut palm such as video are in central Thailand and Vietnam where as the toddy palm is cover Cambodia, southern Thailand, Burma, Malaysia and Indonesia.

this is really interesting video and very informative as well. could you also share the commercials involved in the production as well?

Hi Pranee ! I'd love to buy some coconut palm sugar from a Vietnamese or a Thai food store to try in some dishes. I live in Chicago, we have lots of great specialty stores here and many are small and family owned businesses. It looks like it's really delicious ! LOL. By the way your skin is very pretty and so is your smile ! I love your accent ! Thanks for the video, it was really enjoyable and informative.

I love palm sugar. In my opinion it has a better flavor than cane sugar, and has a low glycemic effect on the human body.

I just wanted to dip my finger in it. looks so yummy. I use palm sugar in my indonesian dishes, deelish!

I keep palm sugar airtight in a jar or plastic bag. Use sharp knife to shave it like you would do to chocolate bar. If it is need in large portion to make Phad Thai sauce, I just place the whole disc (1/4 cup) into the pot with other liquid ingredient, simmer it. Stir a few times, It will melt in 10 minutes.

Thank you! People often fall for it at first try. I keep

Great video! What is it that the farmers use to prevent the sap from fermenting? Thanks.

i worry for plastic in the bowl to mix with the coconut nectar

Thanks for sharing, we call it in our own vernicular as "tuba".

Really nice video, thank you for taking the time to make it and share it with the world :)

Great video! I just wish they used natural materials instead of all that TOXIC plastic:( especially when heat is involved.

i must ask. i have read a rumor that, if your making coconut sugar from the tree. Then the palm tree no longer can make coconuts again? or can it? Can you make the palm tree produce coconuts again after making sugars from it?

isn't boiling destroy the nutrients?

Great video... swadikaap... ;)

Great Video. How to prevent the coconut sap from fermenting?

Thank you!

wow thank you that was really interesting.. would love to buy something like that in cali. i wonder if u could do something like that with date trees

great video thanks

Thanks, that looks delicious, what does it taste like? Also can you use it to replace sugar cup for cup when baking?

It is from a young flower bud.

You are right about the palm sugar. It is used in any sweet and savory dishes.

bye the way it tastes great on porridge [oat porridge]

Is there a difference between coconut palm sugar and coconut sugar? Thanks

when its time to use,how do you soften the palm sugar?

you can shave them with knife like you would with chocolate, it will be soft ready to mix in salad dressing. Large quantity can dissolve quickly when cook with liquid.

You are welcome!

So it's simply the nectar or honey of coconut, I thaught it's taken from the trunk.

Have you tried STEVIA PLANT??

is palm sugar also called gula malacca?

very interesting I didn't even know.
