Harvesting

Organic palm sugar is derived from the sap of the coconut palm tree, commonly found in tropical regions like Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. The sap is collected by making incisions in the flower buds, then boiled down to create a thick syrup that solidifies into sugar crystals. Harvesting typically occurs during the dry season, from December to April, using traditional methods passed down through generations.

Known for its rich, earthy flavour and deep brown colour, organic palm sugar is a natural sweetener packed with essential nutrients such as potassium, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. These nutrients are retained from the raw sap, making palm sugar a wholesome and nutritious alternative to refined sugars.

The organic nature of Organic Palm Sugar means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.
