Respected since the early 19th century by locals for its incredible flavour and natural sweetness, kithul syrup was also heralded for its countless health benefits.

Kithul syrup is versatile and ideal for cooking or even eating straight out of the jar! As a vegan friendly option and a natural sweetener, kithul syrup can be enjoyed by those with specific dietary requirements or who are looking to cut down on their sugar intake. Pure Kithul syrup combats blood sugar and passes through the body instead of getting stored, making it one of the most diabetic friendly natural sweeteners in the world!
