Ekgaon Dates Palm Sugar Crystal (250g)

Dates palm sugar crystals are a crystal (candy) form of palm sugar, sold by Ekgaon as a traditional sweetener in place of refined white sugar. In Tamil Nadu, palm sugar candy is known as panam kalkandu. The crystals have a distinct mild caramel flavour and aroma. The crystals dissolve easily in hot beverages, so they can be used to sweeten tea, coffee and warm milk. They also work in baking and in Indian sweets such as payasam and kheer. In the summer months, many South Indian homes dissolve palm candy in water or milk to make a simple cool drink. Children often eat a small crystal or two as a sweet. This product is sold by Ekgaon from Madurai and Noida. Store the crystals in a dry, airtight jar so they do not absorb moisture. Available in a 250 g pack.
