Treacle

Sri Lankans over the centuries gathered the sap of the kithul palm to create the delicious syrupy delight that is kithul treacle. The sweet syrup has been a favorite among Sri Lankans not only for its ambrosial flavour, but also for its numerous health benefits.

Since ancient times kithul was used in ayurvedic remedies for a myriad of health benefits such as preventing arthritis, improving skin complexion, relieving constipation, aiding weight loss, and combating blood sugar. The sweet syrup is suffused with antioxidants, amino acids, and has a very low glycaemic index, making it one of the most diabetic friendly natural sweeteners in the world!
