About Coconut sugar

Coconut sugar, derived from the sap of coconut palm trees, is a natural sweetener often used as an alternative to refined sugar. It originates from Southeast Asia, where it's commonly featured in traditional cuisines. Rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, it also contains small amounts of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that may support gut health. Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than table sugar, which means it causes a slower rise in blood glucose levels. However, it is still high in calories and fructose, and excessive consumption can affect blood sugar and overall health. Its caramel-like flavor makes it a versatile ingredient in baking, beverages, and sauces, providing sweetness with a hint of complexity. While it can be a slightly better option than refined sugar, moderation remains essential in maintaining a balanced diet.
