Tips:
- Palm sugar stores like most sugars and keeps best in a cool, dark place, with one condition: Make sure it is well sealed if you open it and don’t use all of it at once. An airtight container or zipped-top plastic bag, with as much air pressed out as possible, also works.
- If your palm sugar hardens, try this simple way to soften palm sugar. Place the palm sugar disc in a small bowl with a teaspoon of water and microwave briefly, about 30 seconds depending on your oven. Smash with a spoon until uniform in consistency and then it’s ready to use again.
