About Coconut sap

Coconut sap is the sweet liquid collected from the cut flower stalk of a coconut palm. Fresh sap is liquid and mildly sweet; it can ferment readily, becoming tangier and changing in character, or be reduced to a thicker, concentrated syrup.

It is used fresh, fermented or cooked down, depending on the local product and intended use. These forms are not interchangeable: fresh sap, fermented sap and sap syrup differ in taste, consistency and processing. The name alone does not specify which form is meant.
