Palm sugar was a type of sugar that shared its name with palm trees. At some point no earlier than 379 BBY, a feast was thrown aboard the starship called the Gaze Electric, which belonged to Marda Ro—the Evereni founder of a group of pirates who would eventually become the Nihil. An individual who was a member of Ro's organization baked finger cakes for the occasion, frosting them with ground palm sugar. During the feast, Ro nibbled on one of the finger cakes.
Later, Ro mentioned palm sugar in a message she recorded for her descendants. By 252 BBY, during his youth, Ro's great-great-grandson Marchion Ro had listened to her memoirs, including the entry where the sugar was mentioned.
Palm sugar appeared in a flashback in the short story "A Closed Fist Has No Claws," written by Tessa Gratton and published in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project. In real life, palm sugar is a sweetener derived from palm trees.
