| Gandhi, 3rd of May 1939: “The use of coconut blossom sugar is a way to solve the world’s poverty. The juice of the coconut tree can be transformed into a sugar as soft as honey… Nature created this product such that it could not be processed in factories. Palm sugar can only be produced in palm tree habitats. Local populations can easily turn the nectar into coconut blossom sugar. It is a way to solve the world’s poverty. It is also an antidote against misery.” |
▲ Gula Java (coconut blossom sugar) may be used to substitute for cane or beetroot sugar, agave, maple or syrup. You can use it to sweeten your tea or coffee and it is delicious on oven-baked apples, baked bananas, pancakes, gateaux, wafers, pastry and cakecake or as depicted above on cottage or curd cheese. It is also perfect for cocktails (e.g. Mojito, Caipirinha,…) Use it to add a fancy rim of sugar to your cocktail glass, to finish your dishes and to make your Asian recipes authentic. The perfect snack for added energy. |
Fairworld coconut blossom sugar,
additional income for 2,000 families
 For its coconut blossom sugar, Amanprana cooperates with Lestari Mandiri and Hivos. The Lestari association fights for the interests of small-scale farmers and their families in central Java. Hivos is a humanitarian organisation working towards a fair, free and sustainable world. The organisation also stands for equal opportunities for women. This project is about humanitarian rights, and we therefore call it Fair World. In the Fair World project we cooperate with farmers’ associations in Central Java, who see to it that the harvesting and production processes of our coconut blossom sugar are carried out according to organic, fair trade and fair world principles. They are members of Organic Alliance, an organisation striving for more organic produce in Indonesia. Together we aim at providing an additional income for 2,000 families in Java and at protecting their eco habitat. The coconut trees in their gardens now yield their own harvest. The Food and Agriculture Organization has named coconut blossom sugar the most sustainable sugar.

What is “Gula Java”?
Gula Java is coconut blossom sugar from Java. Harvested by tappers high in the coconut trees (picture to the left), the sweet nectar from the coconut blossom is a cherished resource. Above the log fire, the nectar slowly changes into a delicious, unrefined rich sugar as it is gently stirred in the pan (picture to the right), allowing you to enjoy its sweetness and soft caramel flavour at any time of the day. |
