Botanical name: cocos nucifera
Organic Certifications: USDA-NOP, Control Union EU

New favorite sweetener among health communities -100% PURE nectar of the coconut palm tree (cocos nucifera) flowers, air-dried to become brown crystals, from Central Java. Not mixed with palm saps of other varieties, or cane sugar.

All-natural, organic, unrefined, gluten-free, preservative-free. No additives, no bleaching. Nutrients like minerals Iron, Zinc, Calcium and Potassium, and polyphenols are preserved, unlike the common table sugar (white cane sugar) which is stripped of all vital nutrients and provide just 'empty' calories.

Coconut palm sugar (made from the sap of coconut tree flowers) is different from palm sugar which is made from the sap of sugar palm trees like date palm/arenga pinnata . Both coconut palm sugar and palm sugar differ in taste, texture and production methods.

3 main reasons why Organic Coconut Palm Sugar is a great choice for natural sweetener:

1. Has a Low Glycemic Index (GI) of 35

 Our organic coconut palm sugar has only half the GI of your table sugar (cane sugar), which means it will not cause a sugar spike. It is diabetic-friendly.

 2. Nutrients are Preserved

Organic coconut palm sugar has higher nutritional value than other commercially available natural sweeteners. Our coconut palm sugar is never refined or bleached like white cane sugar, so there’s absolutely no stripping of minerals/nutrients.

 3. Delicious & Rich Caramel-like Flavour

Though coconut palm sugar is less sweet than ordinary white sugar, it has an amazing taste – a great alternative sweetener to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing your health.

This product is available in 500g and 1kg clear packs.

How to Use:

Use as 1-to-1 replacement for regular cane sugar (white/brown/raw sugar) in hot/cold beverages, cooking and baking. It dissolves and melts the same way. Note: All sweeteners, even healthy ones like coconut palm sugar, should be consumed with moderation. Low GI does not mean NO calories.

If you are looking to increase energy, lose fat and just feel better, you would need to understand an important tool called the Glycemic Index (GI). All carbohydrates that you ingest (including the carbs in fruits and vegetables) convert to blood sugar-some fast, some slow -and the Glycemic Index measures the rate the conversion takes place. High GI carbs convert to blood sugar pretty quickly in your body thus causing a spike in your blood sugar level. When this happens, your brain signals your pancreas to secrete more insulin. Insulin brings your blood sugar back down, but primarily by converting the excess sugar to stored fat. Also, the greater the rate of increase in your blood sugar, the more chance that your body will release an excess amount of insulin, and drive your blood sugar back down too low. If your blood sugar drops too low, you become lethargic ("you crash’) and/or experience increased hunger. Thus, eating high-glycemic carbs (ones that cause a high rate of increase in blood sugar) will hinder the fat burning process and will decrease energy levels.

Low GI foods like coconut palm sugar contain carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing glucose more gradually into the bloodstream. The slower rate of digestion sug gests less impact on your blood sugar level and insulin response. When insulin levels are normal, your body burns fat more efficiently. Thus, with low GI foods,your body will experience more consistent energy levels and will keep weight off more efficiently. The slow release of energy will also make you feel full longer.

Besides the fantastic quality of having a low GI, our coconut palm sugar is also a good source of minerals like potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron. In addition, it contains Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 and a good range of amino acids. When compared with brown cane sugar, coconut palm sugar has a higher nutritional value, with 2 times the iron, 4 times the magnesium and over 10 times the amount of zinc.
