What is Gula Java?

Gula Java is the coconut blossom sugar from Java. The sweet nectar from the coconut blossom is a cherished resource, harvested by tappers high in the coconut trees. In a kettle above a log fire, the nectar slowly transforms into a delicious, unrefined rich sugar. Enjoyable every moment of the day with a soft and sweet caramel flavour.

Gula Java can be used as a substitute for cane or beet sugar, agave or maple syrup. Perfect for in tea or coffee, delicious on oven-warmed apples, baked bananas, pancakes, pies, waffles, pastries, cakes and other baked goods. Also perfect for cocktails (e.g. Mojito, Caipirinha, etc.) If you fancy, it can be used as the decorative sugar rim for your cocktail glass. 

Ideal to finish off dishes or to add to authenticity to Asian recipes. Can also be used as a snack for some extra energy. 

It is recognised as the most sustainable form of sugar by the Food and Argiculture Organization (FAO).

Gula Java Brut Coconut Blossom Sugar From Amanprana is Heavenly Sweet

Gula Java from Amanprana is the very first organic coconut blossom sugar available in Europe. Sweet and heavenly. Gula is 100% natural and has a soft, caramel flavour. 

Gula Java Brut is the ideal substitute for other sugars in cocktails, pastries, coffee, tea, curry dishes and countless other dishes. For every 1 tablespoon of (table) sugar you want to replace in a recipe, you should use 1 tablespoon of Gula Java Brut.

Gula Java Brut is derived from the sweet nectar of coconut blossoms. The nectar is heated so that the water evaporates and juice thickens. When this is cooled and therefore has hardened, it is ground into the a rough powder.
