Coconut Sugar
Coconut Sugar can be considered to be the best sweetener substitute available in the market
for the health conscious consumers and diabetics because of the many benefits that it has to
offer. Tests done by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute and Department of Science
Technology of the Philippines has revealed a low Glycemic index (GI) of 35 compared to that
of table sugar’s glycemic index of 64
Glycemic Index (GI), according to a scientist from Food and Nutrition Research Institute, is the
glucose response of an individual from food relative to a standard glucose solution. Low GI
food is good for proper control of diabetes mellitus and has shown to lower the LDL (low
density lipoprotein) cholesterol or known as the bad cholesterol. It has been also noted that it
is also good for weight maintenance, thus preventing obesity or being overweight.
Coconut Sugar is 100% natural and does not contain any additives and artificial flavoring. It is
derived from the evaporating coconut sap or sweet toddy through boiling in an open container
where it is then allowed to cool and solidify. Coconut sap if distilled, turns into wine. If it is
fermented it turns into vinegar. If cooked, it turns into sugar.
Comparative chemical analysis also revealed that coconut sugar contains higher amount of
nutrients compared to brown cane sugar. According to the report, coconut sugar has some
amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, chlorine, magnesium, sulfur and micro nutrients.
Packing is available in 1 kilo retail bags, in 25 pounds and 25 kilos kraft paper bags. Buyer's
label is also available.
