Palm Sugar vs. Regular Jaggery

Karupatti (palm sugar) comes from the sap of palmyra and date palms, tapped at dawn and boiled down over wood fire until it crystallises into dark, mineral-rich blocks.

Unlike cane jaggery, palm sugar has a lower glycemic index and a distinct smoky-caramel flavour prized in Chettinad sweets and filter coffee.

We source from a cooperative of 12 palm tappers in Puducherry district — the same families who have harvested sap for three generations.
