Organic Coconut Sugar Ola Foods 250gr

It is a natural, unrefined sweetener derived from the flowers of the coconut tree. It is one of the most productive and widespread plants in the world, Cocos nucifera and grows on islands and coastal areas in most tropical climates .
Our Ola Foods Coconut Sugar comes from Java - an island in Indonesia, where high humidity and abundant rainfall provide excellent growing conditions. Unlike other sugar products that are cultivated as only plants, coconut trees grow in the wild and benefit the ecosystem . According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, coconut sugar is one of the most sustainable sweeteners in the world, producing up to 75% more sugar per acre than sugar from cane. Coconut sugar is considered to be one of the healthiest types of sweeteners, as it has a naturally low glycemic index (GI). When carbohydrates (starch and sugar) are eaten, they are converted to glucose and pumped into the bloodstream. The low glycemic index releases glucose more slowly and steadily, and is therefore better absorbed by the body to control blood sugar levels. Coconut sugar is rated as a GI of 35. In comparison, most products made from cane sugar have a GI of around 68.
This makes coconut sugar a preferred choice when following a low glycemic index diet. With a wealth of vitamins and 16 amino acids, coconut sugar has a nutritional value superior to other sweeteners. Glutamine is the predominant amino acid in coconut sugar. Coconut sugar also contains 12 of the essential B vitamins, and is high in inositol.
Coconut sugar has a sweet caramel flavor and can be a direct substitute for granulated cane sugar in any favorite recipe. Use it in baking, to sweeten chocolate recipes or as an alternative to sweeten drinks. Our Coconut Sugar is 100% PURE, the whole coconut blossom nectar, in grains, from Cocos nucifera, the green coconut tree.
