PURE
COCONUT PALM
SUGAR CRYSTALS -
100%
0rganic, unrefined, unbleached
A 100% natural healthy sweetener
made from the sweet nectar of the coconut palm tree
blossoms in Central Java. Not to be confused with the
different varieties of palm, “coconut palm” specifically
refers to the
cocos nucifera
plant.
The new favorite among health
communities as a low-glycemic (GI), low-carb sugar
substitute Higher nutritional value than all
commercially available sweeteners.
Great-tasting from a culinary
standpoint due to its rich, complex flavor with dark
hints of caramel and butterscotch. Versatile with any
recipe
Health Benefits
Coconut palm sugar is
a rich
source of potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron.
In addition, it contains Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 and C.
When compared to brown sugar, coconut palm sugar has
twice the iron, four times the magnesium and over 10
times the amount of zinc.
Supports
weight control -naturally low on the Glycemic
Index (GI 35)
Low glycemic foods are important to
health as they do not create rapid spikes in blood
glucose levels. Increased blood glucose causes the
pancreas to increase insulin and when insulin production
becomes excessive, this can set the stage for diabetes
mellitus, hypoglycemia, and insulin resistance.
When a high glycemic food is consumed, excess insulin
is secreted and blood glucose levels drop lower over the
next few hours than if a low glycemic food had been
consumed. This explains why eating high glycemic foods
contributes to weight gain and obesity since hunger
returns sooner and one eats more with less overall
satiety.
Diabetic-friendly - helps improve glucose and lipid
levels in diabetics
(type 1 and
type 2) due to its low GI of 35.
By comparison, most honeys are of GI 55 and cane
sugars (including raw sugar or brown sugar) are of GI 64
and above.
Most of the “palm sugar” commonly sold
in Asian markets is not pure coconut palm sugar but is
blended with other cheaper fillers such as white cane
sugar, which has a much higher glycemic index.
Provides a
slow energy release, typical of a low GI food,
which sustains the human body through your daily
activities without regular sugar “highs” and “lows”.
Organic
coconut palm sugar is
gluten-free
and can be
enjoyed by people with digestive disorders like celiac
disease. Ideal for those allergic to dairy and wheat.

Unfortunately the most
common sugar all over the world now is refined white
sugar. This has been chemically treated with sulphur
dioxide, lime, phosphoric acid, and bleaching agents. It
is stripped of all its natural goodness and consists of
pure carbohydrates (99.5% sucrose) which give the body
empty calories.
Useful Tip: If you want
to avoid refined sugars, make it a point to read labels
and avoid products made with white sugar, corn syrup,
high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, dextrose, and
fructose. Also look out for artificial sweeteners, avoid
them.
