Palm sugar fibers? How is palm sugar made?
Q. I recently purchased some palm sugar from the store which comes in tablespoon sized chunks. Looking closely at the chunks, there are tons of fibers sticking out. It looks like they were dried in cloth and took some of the cloth fibers with it. Is this normal? I'm sure they won't hurt me, but it doesn't make the palm sugar look too appealing.

A. Palm sugar is made from the sap of a palm tree. I believe the palm sugar is dried on bamboo mats... so yes you are seeing the mat. No, that's not normal to have the fiber still sticking to the palm sugar. I doubt that it would hurt you, but I would try to scrap it off and not ingest stuff that's not palm sugar.

Sugar Palm Hotel VS Kata Beach Hotel Phuket Thailand?
Q. I am just wondering that anybody stayed in Sugar Palm Hotel or Kata beach hotel in Phuket before?. I am thinking about staying in either Sugar Palm Hotel or Kata beach hotel. Please give me suggestion about the room, service and location.
Asked by Simon L - Fri Feb 20 03:47:36 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. These two hotels are very close to each other. Kata beach resort is located right on the beach, but Sugar Palm is located further in a small road (soi). From Sugar Palm, it takes only 5 mins walking to the beach. All rooms at Sugar Palm are decorated in HIP style. If you stay in the room on the ground floor, you can access to the pool directly which is very nice. For Kata beach resort, room decoration seems to be more traditional Thai style. Both hotels were very good in service from my own experience. However, what I don't like about Sugar Palm hotel is parking space. It is very small and narrow. If you don't rent a car for traveling around Phuket, then this won't be a problem.

A. When substituting, you have to make sure you use the right amount. Sometimes the substitute is smaller or bigger/melts faster or slower/i.e. This means you must be able to tell what changed amount goes into the recipe. Palm sugar has many close substitutes. You can use maple sugar, brown sugar, date sugar, jaggery, pilloncillo, or a mixture of 1 cup dark sugar and 2 teaspoons of molasses. Pilloncillo is a Mexican sugar block that comes cone shaped; jaggery is a tan, unrefined sugar made in India. Jaggery also comes from the palm tree. Candle nut can be substituted by many things. The closest substitute is Macadamia nut. You can also use Brazil nut (use less since they are 3 times the size of candle nut), raw cashews (two cashews per… [cont.]

A. In Thai recipes as well as recipes throughout Southeast Asia, palm sugar is used as a natural sweetener. Our palm sugar is the best you can find anywhere, as we import from a premium producer in western Thailand, where the natural sap is collected from cut sugar palms and boiled until a nice sticky sugar remains.

Q. My arm(inside of my elbow) began hurting shortly after. This all happened on my left arm too. I have been to a doctor in the past about migranes but no reason for the migranes. I have noticed that my migranes can be sugar induced. Could this be an early sign of diabetes?

Which fingers can you use to take blood for testing your sugar?
Q. I have been told that taking it from the little finger on either hand is not going to get your an accurate reading, although my glucose machine has instructions on how to take it from the palm of your hand and on the forearm.
Asked by gunner - Mon Jun 30 01:10:04 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Hi Gunner, It does not matter where you get the blood from - the reading will be accurate. The best thing is to use all your fingers except the thumb. The reason for that is the thumb can be more painful - it has more nerves in it. Your pinky is just fine. The only suggestion I would make is to try to stick yourself on the side of the tip of the finger, not directly on the pad. It is less painful that way. There are many meters out there now that will take blood from the palm of the hand or the forearm. Mine does that. However, I just can't get enough blood from my arm. So, I stick to the fingers (pun not intended). I hope this has been helpful to you. I wish you the best of luck.

Do you think a high sugar and flour diet is deadly to the body?

I also think that sugar is terrible for me now I am over 30 as I do not seem to burn it off quite the same. Is it a coincidence that these foods which are relatively new (in the past 50 years or so) damage health and add lots of body fat? previously, peoples diets tended to focus on veg and fresh meats with only minimal treats. The explosion of trans fats and palm oils, sugar etc ,do you think it is the cause of most peoples obesity? Do these foods have the power to also contribute to metabolism problems etc?

A. Absolutely. High sugar, flour, trans foods are the cause fo most obesity and health problems. A healthy diet does not mean starvation or tasteless foods. Yet a corrective diet does not mean either starvation or the grim necessity of eating unpalatable foods. Moreover, a little experimenting in the kitchen will soon produce meals that, from the standpoint of taste and esthetic appeal, will be equal if not superior to, the high-fat dishes to which you are accustomed. You do not have to lose energy good diet increases vigor. Neither does it mean a loss of energy or a sharp reduction in poundage, unless you are overweight, in which case the excess fat is melted off. A balanced diet includes all variety of foods.

How can something have wheat flour, yet be gluten free?
Q.

Under the ingredients, it says "Gluten free", but how can it be gluten free and contain wheat flour?

A. From what I can tell, the FDA has been dinking around for years with this issue but has not passed a regulation with a clear and consistent definition of "gluten free". I'd go so far as to say there are currently no labeling standards in place whatsoever which is why Pamba was able to claim the product was gluten free even though it contains wheat flour. Until some regulation is actually passed, you just have to read the ingredients list. The most up to date info I could found on the potential regulation is from 2009 in the link below.
