Coconut Sugar Organic 250 g

Organic coconut sugar

Coconut sugar is extracted from coconut blossoms, which are heated at low temperatures to produce a special nectar. This is then dried to form crystals. It is light brown in colour and has a delicate flavour. Be careful when buying coconut sugar. If it is too dark, this may indicate that it has been overcooked during processing and is therefore depleted of nutrients. Alternatively, much cheaper unrefined cane sugar may have been added to it.

The flavour of coconut sugar does not resemble coconut, but is much more like caramel. It has a delicate and pleasant flavour and does not overpower a dish or drink (as is the case with stevia, for example).

Our organically grown coconut sugar. It is ideal for sweetening your favourite drinks and dishes and is of the highest quality.

Coconut sugar made from the sweet flowers of the coconut palm is a healthier alternative to white sugar, because:

💚 it has a lower glycaemic index than white sugar;
💚 it contains inulin, which slows down the absorption of glucose into the blood;
💚 it also contains nutrients such as: iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and potassium, polyphenols, fatty acids and antioxidants, as well as vitamins B and C;
💚 It has a neutral pH value, which means it does not acidify the body;
💚 It can help make it easier to maintain a healthy body weight.

As coconut sugar has a lower glycaemic index than ordinary white sugar, it can also be consumed by people with type II diabetes. With a GI of 35, it has only a minimal effect on raising blood sugar levels. Furthermore, it contains an enzyme that promotes a slower release of sugar into the blood.

Nevertheless, coconut sugar is also a rich source of energy and calories, so it is advisable to consume it in moderation. However, it is a healthier alternative to ordinary sugar made from sugar beet or cane sugar, partly due to the important nutrients, minerals and antioxidants it contains.
