Palmyra sugar, also known as "Panam Kalkandam" in Malayalam, is a traditional type of sweetener that is derived from the sap of the Palmyra palm tree (Borassus flabellifer). The sap, also known as "toddy" or "palm nectar," is collected by tapping the tree's flower buds and then processed to produce various products, including sugar.

Palmyra sugar is a traditional sweetener in South India, particularly in states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It has been used for centuries as a natural sweetener and is also considered to have some medicinal properties in Ayurveda, a traditional Indian system of medicine. Palmyra sugar is believed to be a healthier alternative to refined sugar due to its relatively lower glycemic index and some trace minerals it contains.
