Organic Coconut Sugar from Indonesia

Coconut sugar is made from the sap tapped out of coconut blossoms, boiled at high heat until nearly all the water has gone and the remainder crystallises. It is then sieved to Mesh 14 or Mesh 16 and packed. Despite the name it shares with palm sugar, the two come from different trees and behave differently in a recipe.

It tastes sweet with a caramel edge rather than the flat sweetness of refined cane, and it carries iron, zinc, potassium, and dietary fibre that cane sugar does not. Reported glycemic index values sit below cane sugar, though published figures vary between studies and testing methods, so we quote the lab result on your batch rather than a marketing number.

The premium organic grade is certified USDA, EU, and JAS, and Kosher certification is available for that grade on request. A conventional grade is available where organic status is not required. Both go out in 25 kg kraft bags, or in retail packing under your own label.
