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. The 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.
