Related to Palm Sugar

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar is the closest everyday substitute for palm sugar, with similar caramel depth. Use the same weight rather than the same cup, since brown sugar packs heavier at 220 g a cup against 200 g, and expect a slightly sweeter, more uniform flavour without the earthy notes. Dark brown sugar is a better match than light. See our Brown Sugar converter.

Raw Sugar

Raw sugar matches palm sugar in weight per cup (200 g each) and has a subtle caramel note. The earthy depth of palm sugar is absent, but the swap works well in recipes where strong spices or other flavours dominate. See our Raw Sugar converter.

Molasses

Molasses is the dark syrup behind the earthy, bittersweet notes found in unrefined sugars like palm sugar. A small amount of molasses stirred into white sugar can approximate the flavour when palm sugar is unavailable. See our Molasses converter.
