Characteristics

Wolfberry coconut sugar is made from the sweet juice of coconut flowers. Local natives have to cut the palm fronds to obtain this nectar and after collecting the juice, they let the water evaporate by heating it very slowly. The resulting product is light brown to yellow-brown coconut sugar crystals that have a delicious and full-bodied flavour with a slightly caramel undertone.

This sweetener has been used in Southeast Asia for thousands of years, but has only relatively recently reached our 'civilised' world. It is an ideal substitute for refined or cane sugar, which dissolves very well and is therefore excellent in all drinks - from tea to smoothies. However, you will also appreciate its properties when preparing ice creams, yoghurts or desserts, to which it adds an interesting flavour.
The Philippine Department of Agriculture has published information that coconut sugar contains quite a large spectrum of nutrients. Iron, zinc, calcium and potassium should be the most abundant, followed by polyphenols and short-chain fatty acids.

Most notable, however, is the information from the same Ministry that coconut sugar contains inulin. This is a fibre that can slow down the absorption of glucose, which could explain their claim that coconut sugar has a glycaemic index of 35.
