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 through a simple, sustainable process that doesn’t harm the tree. The sap is collected and gently heated until it crystallizes into sugar granules—minimal processing that preserves the natural character of this whole-food sweetener.

It’s a Smarter Sweetener Choice

Coconut sugar has a glycemic index (GI) of around 54, slightly lower than table sugar (GI 60-65). This modest difference, combined with its natural inulin content—a type of fiber that slows glucose absorption—makes it a more mindful choice for blood sugar management.

Inside and Out

Coconut sugar delivers rich, caramel-like sweetness and is about 70-80% as sweet as regular sugar. Unlike highly refined sugars that strip away everything but sucrose, this minimally processed sweetener retains trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. It’s part of coconut’s incredible versatility—one tree that provides oil, milk, flour, aminos, and sugar, making it a sustainable choice that maximizes nature’s resources.

Put it to Good Use

Use coconut sugar as a 1:1 replacement for brown sugar or cane sugar in baking, coffee, sauces, and dressings. Its caramel notes add depth to both sweet and savory applications while supporting a more whole-food approach to sweetening.
