Kithul Palm Treacle (Syrup) – 250 ml

Kithul treacle is a traditional Sri Lankan delicacy made from the sap of the Caryota urens—commonly known as the kithul palm. Harvested from the palm’s flowering stalks, the sap is gently boiled into a rich, dark brown syrup with a thick consistency and a naturally sweet flavour. Its taste is often compared to dates, with subtle caramel undertones that lend depth and warmth to both sweet and savoury dishes.

Known locally as Kithul Pani, this syrup has been cherished for generations as a wholesome, plant-based sweetener. Its water-soluble nature makes it incredibly versatile—easily blending into hot teas, cold desserts, marinades, and more. Revered not just for its flavour but also for its purity and cultural significance, kithul treacle continues to be a staple in Sri Lankan kitchens and a rising star in global wellness circles.
