Coconut Palm Sugar (Indonesia) Organic

Coconut Palm Sugar is made from the sweet nectar of the coconut palm tree (coco nucifera). It is a pure and simple low-glycaemic cane sugar alternative, rich in nutrients and minerals. It is especially high in potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron and a natural source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. Coconut sugar and nectar are derived from evaporating coconut sap or sweet toddy through boiling in an open container where it is then allowed to cool and solidify. When heated, it first forms a thick, dark syrup, which has natural sweetness. With further heating, it forms fine brown granules. Coconut sap, if distilled, would turn into wine; if fermented, it would turn into vinegar. The coconut palm sugar is 100% coconut palm nectar - no cane sugar or maltodextrin are added. Coconut palm sugar can be used as a 1:1 replacement for cane sugar; it has a very low melt temperature with an extremely high burn temperature, making it perfect for confectionary uses. It also dissolves in liquids and wet dough without residue. Coconut palm sugar produces slow release energy, which sustains the human body through daily activities without regular sugar “highs” and “lows”. It is naturally low on the Glycaemic Index (GI).
