What is coconut sugar?

Palm Nectar Organics is a 100% certified organic coconut (palm) sugar that tastes like sweet brown sugar and has a lower glycemic index than cane sugar. Use it as a one-to-one replacement in all your recipes that call for regular sugar. Use it to sweeten your coffee, tea, or breakfast cereal. Our coconut sugar is the best tasting on the market, because we buy only from small farmers in Indonesia, produced sustainably without chemicals and minimally refined. Naturaly gluten-free, vegan, and GMO free.

There are a lot of other coconut sugars out there right now selling for much less, however the sugar we sell and what you buy is the only guaranteed low glycemic index of 35 on the market. Also, our grower runs Isotope testing on every lot to insure integrity and to verify there is no Cane sugar, binders or fillers added as is being found in a lot of other big names. You are buying the best of the best!

Use Palm Nectar coconut sugar anywhere that you would use regular sugar. Although it has a taste more like brown sugar than white sugar, it is milk and many people prefer it to flat taste of white sugar.

I love the taste of this. It's like a mix of really good brown sugar with caramel...sweet yet complex.

I used to buy sucanat, but got tired of the "sugar high" it caused. I find this coconut sugar doesn't give me that energy spike and crash that cane sugar does.

This is really the best coconut sugar I've tried so far. It doesn't taste burnt like some of other brands do.

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.

Benefits of Palm Nectar coconut sugar:

• Natural, Whole Food: Our coconut sugar is not highly processed like brown sugar and many other sugars are. It is made by gently boiling the sap of the coconut tree flowers. It is not synthesized in laboratories like other sugar substitutes, but is harvested naturally from the coconut tree. It is found in the sap of the flowers of the coconut tree and does not have to be highly refined or processed to taste great.
• Contains Amino Acids: It includes sixteen essential amino acids, such as glutamine, which is extremely important in a number of bodily processes. Glutamine is also used to make glutamic acid, which is involved in heart health and brain function.
• Contains Vitamins and Minerals: Coconut sugar sap also contains high levels (compared to other sweeteners) of the minerals iron, zinc, magnesium, and potassium. It is a rich source of B-vitamins, which are important for physical health, as well as for our ability to manage stress. Coconut sap sugar is rich in other nutrients like inositol, which has been shown to improve mental functioning in clinical trials.
• Lower Glycemic: Coconut sap sugar is a lower glycemic index food, which translates into it being a healthier alternative than cane sugar, which is a high glycemic index food. The glycemic index is a measurement of how a food affects our body's glucose levels. The higher the score, the greater our blood sugar will rise after eating the food. Coconut sap sugar rates at a 35 to 54 on the glycemic index while other sugars range from 65-100.

NOTE: Diabetics should consult with their medical providers before using this or any other sweeteners.
