POR KRUA Palm Sugar 500g

POR KRUA Palm Sugar (น้ำตาลปี๊บตราพ่อครัว, nam tan pip tra Por Krua) is a Thai palm sugar product produced by Por Krua. Palm sugar (nam tan pip / น้ำตาลปี๊บ) is made from the sap of the sugar palm tree (Borassus flabellifer), collected and reduced to produce a dense, caramel-coloured sugar with a rich, complex sweetness. Unlike refined white sugar or coconut sugar, Thai palm sugar has a distinctive warm, caramel-like flavour with subtle floral and molasses notes — a flavour profile that is integral to the character of many Thai desserts and savoury dishes. It is a foundational sweetener in Thai cooking, used in pad thai (to balance the sour and salty elements), massaman curry, satay sauce, som tum, and a wide range of Thai desserts including khanom (Thai sweets), tub tim krob, and sangkaya (coconut custard). The 500g pack is a standard household format suited to regular Thai cooking and baking.
