An Giang has a tale about palm sugar. While taking a nap under a sugar palm tree, a farmer suddenly felt a taste of sweetness on his mouth. Out of curiosity, he climbed up the tree and found the juice streaming from spikes. He took his bamboo water container to obtain the sap and brought it home. This is how Khmer people in An Giang discover the use of sugar palm trees. As the sap will be fermented shortly after being taken from the tree, Khmer people find ways to use it to brew liquor and make palm sugar, a nutrient-rich, crystalline, completely natural and unrefined sweetener.

Going to Tri Ton and Tinh Bien districts in An Giang, one can see tall sugar palm trees shading rice fields. The time for harvesting and producing palm sugar lasts around six months, from November to May of the lunar year.

The hardest job of the production process is climbing up tall trees to splint the spikes to extract the sap which will drop into plastic containers. The acquired fresh sap must be processed immediately to turn out the best quality sugar.

First, the sap was cooked in a large pot for about 4 hours during which it must be constantly stirred with big bamboo chopsticks. When the sap turned into a form of syrup, it was stirred again until it cooled down and became solid. The finished products were then packed.
