Coconut Sugar, sustainable grown and processed without the use any artificial inputs; is traditionally hand-harvested by farmers, who collect nectar from the Coconut Palm blossoms. The nectar is then boiled to reduce the moisture content and allowed to set into a hard block; which is crushed to produce this delightful sugar. Coconut Palms have a lighter impact on the environment than many other crops; using about 1/5th of the water and soil nutrients than Sugar Cane, but producing around 50% more sugar per acre while providing valuable wildlife habitat.
Coconut sugar, sometimes called coconut palm sugar, comes from the sap of the coconut palm tree not the coconuts. Harvesters tap coconut palm sap by cutting into the tree's flower-bud stem to access its nectar. Producers mix the sap with water, boil it into a syrup, and allow it to dry and crystallize. Afterward, they break the dried sap apart to create sugar granules that resemble regular table or cane sugar. Coconut sugar retains many nutrients found in the coconut palm mostly iron, zinc, calcium and potassium. These nutrients can support the body in numerous ways, but coconut sugar does not contain enough of them per serving to offer a measurable benefit. Coconut sugar also contains the soluble fiber inulin which is linked to a lower risk of blood sugar spikes. Available from Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Thailand.
Coconut sugar is naturally produced from the sap of the flower buds of coconut palm trees. The sap is heated until the water is fully evaporated, leaving golden-brown sugar granules that can be infused into sweets, smoothies, cookies, curries and cake as natural sweeteners. Our coconut sugar is well-known especially for its all-around tastiness enriched with a subtle hint of caramel and a bag full of nutritions such as iron, zinc, potassium, antioxidants and dietary fibers. It also has a lower Glycemic Index (GI) than regular table sugar, making it more suitable for people with diabetes.
Coconut sugar is one of the oldest sweeteners in Indonesia. The coconut tree itself is an environmentally friendly and sustainable plant, as it remains productive for sugar production for up to 50 years. Made from pure coconut flower nectar (Cocos nucifera), Organic Coconut Sugar Javara is directly harvested from the tree and naturally processed by coconut sugar artisans.
