About Coconut Sugar

Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener derived from the sap of the coconut palm tree's flower buds. It retains a light caramel flavor, making it a delightful choice for enhancing the taste of baked goods like cookies, cakes, and quick breads. Unlike refined sugars, coconut sugar contains trace amounts of nutrients like zinc, iron, and inulin, a dietary fiber. Its low glycemic index makes it appealing for those managing blood sugar levels. In baking, it not only provides sweetness but also helps retain moisture, giving a tender texture to the finished product.
