Coconut sugar

A natural substitute for granulated sugar, coconut sugar comes from the flowers of the tree.

It has a low glycemic index and low fructose content. It consists mostly of sucrose and a much smaller percentage of glucose and fructose. While it is not empty of calories, due to its low glycemic index, the calories are absorbed at a slower rate than those of refined sugar.

It is a healthy choice for those who want to control their sugar levels, have diabetes or want to get fewer calories from their diet. In addition, coconut sugar is high in potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron and is a natural source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. It tastes sweet with a hint of caramel.

How to use: Can be used in drinks, baked, boiled, cooked.
