Coconut Sugar: Natural Sweetener with Lower Glycemic Index
VeganImmunityGluten-FreeVegetarian

What Is Coconut Sugar?

**Coconut sugar** is made from the sap of the coconut palm flower. It is less processed than white sugar and retains trace nutrients such as iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium.

Nutrition (per 100 g)

- **Calories:** 375 kcal - **Carbohydrates:** 92 g (sugars ~90 g) - **Protein:** 0.5 g - **Fat:** 0 g - **Iron:** 2 mg - **Zinc:** 1 mg - **Potassium:** 1000 mg - **Glycemic Index:** ~35

Health Benefits

- **Lower glycemic index** than refined sugar (causes slower blood sugar rise). - Contains **small amounts of minerals** and antioxidants. - Provides a **richer, caramel-like flavor** that enhances desserts naturally.

Possible Drawbacks

- Still high in **calories and fructose**. - Should be used **in moderation** for diabetics. - Some commercial brands may be **mixed with cane sugar** — check labels.

Culinary Uses

- Replaces white or brown sugar **1:1** in recipes. - Ideal for **baking, coffee, sauces, and Asian dishes**. - Enhances flavor of **smoothies and desserts** with a toffee note.

Summary

Coconut sugar is a flavorful, more natural sweetener with a lower glycemic index — a balanced choice when used in moderation.
  • 1. Coconut Sugar
