COCONUT SUGAR

About COCONUT SUGAR

Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener made from the sap of the flower buds of the coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera). The sap is collected, boiled, and dehydrated to produce granules or crystals that resemble brown sugar in texture and color.

It has a mild caramel-like flavor and a rich golden-brown color, making it a popular alternative to refined white sugar. Coconut sugar retains small amounts of nutrients such as iron, zinc, calcium, potassium, and antioxidants, as well as a natural fiber called inulin, which may help slow glucose absorption.

Because it is less processed and has a lower glycemic index than regular cane sugar, it is often used in healthier baking, beverages, and desserts. However, it is still a form of sugar and should be consumed in moderation.
