Palm Candy - பனங்கற்கண்டு

Palm Candy, also known as Panakarkandu in Tamil, is a natural sweetener made from the sap of the Palmyra palm tree (Borassus flabellifer). It is unrefined, chemical-free, and retains its natural minerals, making it a healthier alternative to white sugar. With its mild caramel flavor and crystalline texture, palm candy has been valued in traditional Indian medicine (Siddha and Ayurveda) for centuries.
