Palm sugar, or gula apong, is the natural sweetener from the sap of the nipah palm.
Nipah palm grows naturally and abundantly along the coastal areas and mangroves swamp of Sarawak. The sap is harvested by tapping the flower of Nipah Palm Bamboo to be placed overnight by collecting the flow of sap.
Gula Apong resembles treacle and is golden brown in color. It tastes sweet and slightly salty, due to the inherent salt content of the nipah palms, which are constantly bathed in saline water.
