Organic Coconut Blossom Sugar - 450 g
Natural sweetener for healthy eating. A wholesome alternative to refined white sugar.
Coconut blossom sugar is considered one of the best and most beneficial natural sweeteners. It contains a rich array of vitamins and minerals. Comprising almost 80% sucrose, the remaining 20% includes glucose and fructose. Its notable feature is its lower glycemic index value of 35, in contrast to white sugar, which ranges between 60–80. Foods with a low glycemic index lead to a gradual increase in blood sugar levels, providing a steady release of energy, whereas high glycemic index foods cause sharp spikes in blood sugar levels, potentially damaging organs and leading to obesity.
The color of coconut sugar varies from light to dark brown, with a mildly sweet flavor and pleasant caramel aroma. It is suitable for flavoring and sweetening yogurt, smoothies, fruit juices, tea, coffee, cocktails, ice cream, various desserts, and baked goods.
It contains no artificial colors or synthetic flavors. Unlike refined white sugar, coconut sugar is lower in calories.
