In today's health-conscious world, many of us are constantly on the lookout for ways to replace the sweetest ingredient in our diet: white sugar. While sugar can improve the taste of many of our favorite foods, it is associated with obesity and cardiovascular disease. It also has a fairly high ranking on the glycemic index, which is essentially a measure of the impact a food has on our blood glucose levels. The higher the glycemic index score, the quicker the food causes our blood sugar levels to rise, and the higher the potential blood sugar peak may be.

Coconut sugar is an alternative to white sugar that rivals white sugar in sweetness but doesn't have the same negative effects on our health. As the name implies, coconut sugar is harvested from the coconut tree. Specifically, the flowering part of the tree is cut to release sap, which is then heated until most of the water part is evaporated. After the water has evaporated, a thick paste forms that can be further reduced into a crystalline structure, creating coconut sugar.
While the sweetness of coconut sugar is similar to brown sugar, it's considered a much healthier alternative to brown or white sugar. Coconut sugar is low on the glycemic index, and also contains high levels of the minerals iron, zinc, magnesium, and potassium. It is also a source of B-vitamins, which are essential not only for good physical health, but also for our ability to handle mental stress. Coconut sugar is rich in other nutrients as well, such as inositol, which has been found in clinical trials to have psychiatric benefits.
People are using coconut sugar as a substitute for white sugar for good reason. While it can be used as a substitute for sugar on a 1:1 basis in baking (indicating it has sweetness comparable to sugar), it doesn't have the same negative effects on health that white sugar does. Instead, using coconut sugar may provide very real benefits to your health.

This is really the best coconut sugar I've tried so far. It doesn't taste burnt like some of other brands do.Kim B.
Palm Nectar Organics coconut sugar is prepared the traditional way of first collecting the sap from the coconut palm, and then gently boiling it down to form the sweet sugar. This minimal processing retains many of the trace minerals that are lost in cane sugar production.
