Health Benefits of Organic Coconut Palm Sugar



Replace sugar with organic coconut palm sugar!


Want to replace refined white sugar? Use organic coconut palm sugar. This low glycemic, flavor neutral sweetener is the perfect replacement for table sugar, use it in a 1:1 ratio when substituting for sugar in recipes.

Coconut palm sugar is derived from the sap of the coconut palm tree, and Food and Agriculture Organization has reported that coconut palm sugar is the most sustainable sweetener in the world. 

Coconut palms produce an average of 50-75% more sugar per acre than sugar cane and use less than 1/5th the soil nutrients and water for that production. Coconut Palm trees also can grow in just about any soil conditions and can survive drought conditions as well.




Some of the health benefits of this low glycemic, low carb sweetener are:

  • Helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels.
  • High in beneficial minerals, macro & micro nutrients (Potassium, Magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium, sulfur, phosphorous and others)
  • No “sugar crash”, coconut sugar produces a steady, slow energy release,  so no highs and lows in your energy throughout the day like you get with regular sugar
  • High in Vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, B6
  • Can contribute to less of a risk in developing breast cancer. Diets high in glycemic index (GI) can lead to breast cancer.
  • Can lessen your risk of getting diabetes.
  • Low GI index. Coconut sugar is a 35 on the GI scale. This can help with weight loss goals.
  • Helps prevent hypoglycemia. Choosing low GI foods can help prevent hypoglycemia because eating foods that promote a gradual rise in blood sugar & a lower insulin response reduced the likelihood that blood sugar levels will drop too low.
  • It can lower obesity risk.  Low GI foods are slowly digested and provides a gradual and sustained rise in blood sugar. This keeps you feeling full & satisfied and delays the return of hunger between meals. 

Why harvesting palm sugar is a greener alternative to palm oil. Here the trees don't need to be cut down.
