Coconut flower sugar is a type of sweetener made from coconut palm sap. The sap (or nectar, as it’s sometimes called) is collected from the flower bud stem of the coconut palm tree.Coconut palm trees have been used for sugar production for centuries using highly sophisticated techniques of “tapping.” This process has been practiced in Southeast Asia, including locations such as Indonesia, for hundreds of years.Today, the process of making coconut flower sugar involves collecting the sap and then boiling and dehydrating it, causing the water to evaporate. This leaves behind small, brown, sweet granules.
Coconut sugar is the boiled and dehydrated sap of the coconut palm and unrefined. It is ideal for sweetening beverages, baking cakes or biscuits, sprinkling over yoghurt or oats and as a sweetener for cooking.
Coconut sugar is a great substitute for cane sugar or sugar alternative.
