Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener made from the sweet nectar of coconut palm flowers. When the nectar is boiled, the water evaporates to form the solid product, coconut sugar.

Because coconut sugar produces slow-release energy that the body stores throughout the day, it is a vital support for all body processes. In this way, coconut sugar differs from conventional sugars, which produce a rapid rise and fall in energy, exhausting the body.

Coconut sugar has a naturally low Glycaemic Index (GI), which is useful for weight management and also improves blood glucose and lipid levels in people diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or type 2). The GI level for coconut palm sugar is 35. In comparison, agave nectar has a GI of 42 , honey has a GI of 55 and cane sugar has a GI of 68.
The main ingredients in coconut sugar (70-79%) are sucrose, glucose and fructose (both 3-9%). Coconut palm sugar has a higher nutritional value than other available sweeteners. It is particularly rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron, and is a natural source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. It is also a good source of vitamin C.
