Palm Sugar Blocks 500g by XO

Great, authentic taste. Been using it for Thai cuisine.

Excellent product

Great for Thai grew curries etc.Only downside is they take ages (15-30 mins) to dissolve so take that into account when you’re cooking. That’s not a fault, just the nature of the sugar. Tastes great.

Pack contains ten 50g biscuit sized circular blocks of palm sugar. The palm sugar content is 95% which is better than many, which have 85% palm sugar, the balance made with refined sugar.The blocks are hard, but can be grated, or pieces broken off with a knife.The packs contain a dessicant sachet, so will help prevent the blocks from liquefying once the pack is opened - but they do need to be stored somewhere fairly airtight as well.I usually use these in Thai curries to counteract the saltiness of shrimp paste and balance flavours, but they're nice as an additive to puds, substituting half palm sugar for half plain sugar.To be honest though, palm sugar isn't an essential in Thai curries.Light muscovado or demerara is just as good, as is a slug of date syrup.

Great quality

The best, good value.

taste good

Quite expensive way to buy palm sugar and a hard block which is difficult to work with but it does the job.The flavour is authentic
