Why Make Life A Little Sweeter?

How is coco sugar made?

Our coco sugar is made from pure sap that is freshly sourced from the coconut tree’s inflourescence (cluster of flowers including its stem). The sap undergoes pre-boiling before it is cooked and turned into sugar.

What are the uses for coco sugar?

Coco sugar can be used in a wide array of applications in cooking and baking and a substitute to cane sugar for beverages and food.

Its advantages over other sweeteners?

Coco sugar is low in the glycemic index, has nutrients, safe for the gut, organic and 100% pure and natural.

Safe for individuals with diabetes or pre-existing conditions?

Our coco sugar is low in the glycemic index and is slow to raise blood sugar levels. But it has the same caloric content as cane sugar. It’s ideal to consult your doctor first before modifying your diet.

Is clumping a normal occurence?

During the coco sugar’s shelf life, clumping may form inside the packaging. This is a normal occurrence and will not affect its quality, taste and nutrient content.

How does coco sugar promote sustainability?

In general, coco sugar requires less water to produce than the cane sugar, as it takes 9 gallons to produce a teaspoon of the latter.

Is the coconut tree harmed during the harvest of sap?

No. Sap harvesting does not do anything to the tree. It will still bear inflourescence after a period of 1 to 2 years as it normally does.

The Sustainable Sweetness of Coco Sugar

Coco sugar is one of the most sustainable natural sweetener choices. Growing coconut trees requires far less water than typical sugar crops. Harvesting the sap does no harm to the trees or the environment. In fact, most coconut farmers were not even utilizing the sap before coco sugar production came along.

Unlike water-intensive sugarcane crops, coconut trees are effective with the minimal rainfall of tropical climates. And the nutrients in coco sugar offer bonuses for your health, it has low glycemic index, is rich in vitamins and minerals. And provides a delicious caramel-like flavor.
