KULAU Organic Coconut Sugar is made from the sap of the blossoms of coconut palms (cocos nucifera). High up in the palm tree, the blossoms are cut off in order to extract the valuable blossom sap.

Coconut sugar production has a great tradition dating back centuries. First the coconut sugar, which is also known as palm sugar, was used as a natural sweetener for home use. Today the product is becoming increasingly popular in our part of the world, and so this method of sugar production is the main source of income for the rural population in some parts of Indonesia. Working in cooperatives and directly marketing the coconut sugar increases the revenue for the producers. According to a study by the Philippines Coconut Authority, coconut sugar has a glycemic index of 35.

Coconut sugar has a special flavor of its own, with a slight hint of caramel. The nutrients in the sugar contribute greatly to its flavor. Coconut blossom sugar is less sweet than cane sugar and melts on the tongue. It is used in desserts, drinks and baking cakes. With its special natural sweetness and its light-caramelly touch, KULAU Organic Coconut Blossom Sugar is delicious in desserts and mueslis, as well as for baking and cooking. Give your hot drinks and cocktails such as mojito or caipirinha that special something with KULAU organic coconut sugar.
