Palm Candy (Palm Crystals) - Crystals
Palm Candy is a naturally crystallised traditional sweetener derived from the sap tapped from the inflorescence (flower bunches) of the Palmyra Palm. Prepared through time-honoured methods practiced for generations, Palm Candy is processed without chemical refining, bleaching, or artificial additives, ensuring that its natural minerals, vitamins, and cooling properties remain intact.
Unlike refined white sugar, Palm Candy has a low glycaemic index of approximately 35, which helps prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar levels. Its gentle sweetness, easy digestibility, and mineral-rich composition make it suitable for daily consumption as well as traditional and wellness-based preparations.
Rooted deeply in indigenous food wisdom, Palm Candy supports balanced energy, internal cooling, and metabolic stability. More than a sweetener, it represents purity, patience, and the natural harmony between tradition and health.
Making Process:
Sap Tapping from Palmyra Palm
Fresh sap is carefully tapped from the inflorescence (flower bunches) of mature Palmyra palm trees using traditional techniques.
Heating and Concentration
The collected sap is gently heated and boiled over controlled fire until it thickens into a pulp-like consistency. This slow heating preserves the sap’s natural nutrients and sweetness.
Wooden Container Crystallisation
The concentrated sap is poured into specially crafted wooden containers fitted with threads stretched from end to end. These threads act as natural nucleation points for crystal formation.
Underground Natural Maturation
The sealed wooden containers are placed underground for a period of 3 to 4 months, allowing gradual cooling and natural crystallisation without disturbance.
Crystal Formation and Grading
During this period, the sap transforms into palm candy crystals of varying sizes.
- Premium-grade crystals are larger, clearer, and naturally sweeter.
- Smaller crystals are milder in sweetness.
- Due to their superior sweetness, texture, and rarity, our larger crystals are considered first quality and are comparatively more valuable.
Final Drying and Packaging
The crystals are carefully removed, dried naturally, hand-sorted, and packed in moisture-resistant, airtight containers to preserve freshness and purity.

FAQs
Palm Candy is a naturally crystallised traditional sweetener made from the sap tapped from the flower bunches of the Palmyra palm. It is produced using time-honoured methods without chemical processing.
Unlike refined white sugar, Palm Candy is unrefined, chemical-free, and retains its natural minerals and vitamins. It has a low glycaemic index (around 35) and provides gentle, sustained sweetness without sudden sugar spikes.
Yes. It is made from 100% natural Palmyra palm sap and contains no refined sugar, chemicals, preservatives, bleaching agents, or artificial additives.
The sap is gently boiled, poured into wooden containers with threads, and then naturally crystallised underground for 3–4 months. This slow process allows pure crystal formation without mechanical or chemical intervention.
Wooden containers help maintain natural cooling, while threads act as nucleation points that encourage uniform crystal formation during the long crystallisation period.
Crystal size depends on natural crystallisation conditions. Larger crystals form slowly and are naturally sweeter, making them premium grade, while smaller crystals have milder sweetness.
Palm Candy has a low glycaemic index and releases glucose slowly. It may be suitable for controlled intake when consumed in moderation. Individuals with medical conditions should consult their healthcare provider.
Yes. Palm Candy is traditionally valued for its natural cooling properties, helping reduce excess body heat, especially in warm climates.
