It comes from a natural source, the sap of the coconut palm. This sap circulates through the tree in a similar way to maple syrup.
To harvest coconut palm sap, farmers cut into the flower-bud stem of the tree to allow the nectar to flow out. To make coconut flower nectar, they then mix the sap with water and boil it down to a syrup.
Producers make granulated coconut sugar by leaving
the nectar to dry and crystallize. They then break the dried chunks apart to create the granules most people recognize.
It has a similar look and feel to unprocessed raw sugar, but it may have more natural variants, such as light or dark granules or fluctuations in granule size.
Some people confuse with palm sugar. While they have a similar production process, palm sugar comes from a different tree.
What else is there to know about coconut sugar?
According to the above analysis of coconut palm sap, it contains some inulin, whereas table sugar and corn syrup do not.
Inulin is a specific fiber that may be beneficial to the body, helping improve gut health and slowing glucose absorption.
It is, however, important to note
that the quantities of beneficial compounds may be small, and a person would have to eat a lot of sweet to get a healthy dose of them.
Also, because it is still high in calories and sugars, eating a lot would mean significant excess energy consumption, leading to potential weight gain.
