Organic Coconut Sugar… What Is It and Why Use It???

At Pancake Organics, coconut sugar is traditionally produced, starting with our farmers in Central Java, Indonesia. Coconut sugar is made from the sweet sap of coconut flowers.  This sugar contains natural minerals that support a healthy lifestyle for people who are active. Our bulk organic coconut sugar is 100% natural and non-GMO, which means the sugar is chemicals free and has no genetic modifications commonly seen in western food products. Coconut sugar also tastes great, with a slight hint of caramel, which enhances the flavor, especially when making bakery goods. Most importantly, Organic coconut sugar’s nutritional content is richer than any other sweeteners available commercially.

As the harmful effects of white sugar and high fructose corn syrup become increasingly more evident, people are turning to natural alternatives.Organic Coconut Sugar, with its very low glycemic index and superior mineral content has rapidly become one of these alternatives.You can use this sugar in the same way as you used white sugar, in a one-to-one ratio. Regular white table sugar does not contain any vital nutrients, and has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, and of course diabetes.
