Aster Palm Sugar (Gula Jawa) 500g

Indonesian palm sugar, also called gula jawa, gula merah or red sugar is far stickier and darker than other types of palm sugar which are often a light brown colour. 

The moistness and richness of gula jawa means it gives recipes a richer molasses flavour, and a deep brown colour. When a recipe calls for gula jawa it’s certainly worth seeking it out, as the difference in flavour is quite distinct.
