Sweet Tree Coconut Sugar

This is another great upgrade from the refined white stuff called sugar and even from brown sugar as well. Coconut palm trees are known world wide for being the “tree of life” due to the variety of ways the tree can be used. SweetTree Organic Coconut Sugar is a minimally processed, unbleached natural sweetener made from the nectar of the coconut palm tree. Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than cane sugar and produces an average of 50-75% more sugar per acre than sugar cane with using less than one fifth of the soil nutrients and water. Coconut sugar is composed of about 75% sucrose followed by glucose and fructose. It ranks 35 out of 100 on the glycemic index, where table sugar is 100. Coconut sugar is high in potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron and is a natural source of the vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. When purchasing coconut palm sugar be sure to double check the ingredients because many on the market today are mixed with cane sugar and other malt-based ingredients. Try this coconut sugar in our flourless black bean brownies! Delicious!
