Coconut Sugar
This Sweetener is a Natural Sugar
Natural sugars are found naturally in foods such as fruit (fructose), milk (lactose), and some vegetables. Coconut sugar is derived from the sap of coconut palm flowers. The sap is collected and gently heated until it crystallizes into sugar granules.
It’s a Low-Glycemic Sweetener
Coconut sugar has a glycemic index (GI) of around 35, significantly lower than table sugar (GI 60-65). This is due to its natural inulin content, a type of fiber that slows glucose absorption and helps prevent blood sugar spikes.
Inside and Out
Coconut sugar has a rich, caramel-like sweetness and is about 70-80% as sweet as regular sugar. Unlike refined sugars, it retains trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. It also contains inulin, which supports gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria in your digestive system.
Put it to Good Use
Coconut sugar can be used as a one-to-one replacement for regular sugar in most recipes. It dissolves easily and enhances coffee or tea, yogurt, smoothies, baked goods, sauces, and dressings. Its deep flavor makes it a standout choice for cookies, glazes, and homemade pancake syrup.
