How to Use Chef's Choice Block of Palm Sugar:
1. Shaving or Grating:
- Shave or Grate: Use a grater or a knife to shave or grate the block of palm sugar into smaller pieces. This makes it easier to dissolve or mix into recipes.

- Heat: For recipes that require dissolved sugar, heat a small amount of water in a saucepan.
- Add Sugar: Stir in the shaved or grated palm sugar until it’s fully dissolved.
3. Direct Use:
- In Cooking: Add chunks or pieces of palm sugar directly to dishes such as curries, stews, or sauces. It will melt and blend into the dish as it cooks.

Tips:
- Storage: Keep the block of palm sugar in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It can become hard over time, so store it properly to maintain its quality.
- Substitute: If a recipe calls for other sweeteners, palm sugar can often be used as a substitute, but you may need to adjust the quantity to match the sweetness level.
