Ceylon Natural Sweeteners: Kithul, Jaggery & Wild Honey

Pure Ceylon natural sweeteners, farm-direct from Sri Lanka. Real, unadulterated sweetness from the island's palms and forests — the kind that's slowly disappearing as cheaper, cane-sugar-cut imitations take over. Everything here is 100% pure, with nothing added.

At the heart of the collection is kithul — a rare, traditional Sri Lankan sweetener tapped from the flower of the kithul palm (Caryota urens) and slowly boiled into a rich, dark, caramel-like syrup. It grows and is made almost nowhere else in the world. Choose it as pourable kithul treacle (the syrup — for curd & treacle, pancakes, desserts, and drinks) or as solid kithul jaggery / hakuru (the set blocks — grated or melted into cooking, tea, and sweets). Both are 100% pure kithul — no cane sugar, no glucose syrup. Much of the "kithul" sold cheaply is quietly cut with sugar; ours is the real thing.

The collection's most exclusive sweetener is our Wild Bambara Honey — raw, single-origin forest honey foraged by hand from the wild combs of Sri Lanka's giant rock bee (Apis dorsata). Not farmed in hives and gathered only in season, it's dark, rich, and genuinely rare — the jewel of the range, and a memorable gift.
