Basic Description

Coconut Sugar is an all-Natural sweetener and a much healthier alternative to regular White Sugar. It has a natural caramel-like taste and is thereby the perfect sugar to use in Baking. This is a 1:1 replacement for table sugar. One teaspoon (4g) of Coconut Sugar has 15 calories. The process of making Coconut Sugar is minimal and thus retains some of the essential nutrients.

What is Coconut Sugar & how is it made?

Coconut Sugar or Coconut Palm Sugar is made from the sap of the flower bud stem of the Coconut Palm Tree. The liquid collected is heated at moderate temperature. Once all the water from the liquid has evaporated what remains is Coconut Sugar.

What does Coconut Sugar taste like?

Although Coconut Sugar is extracted from the Coconut Palm tree, it tastes nothing like it. It has a sweet and mild caramel-like flavour. It is naturally golden-brown in colour and makes for an ideal sweetener in all Indian desserts like Halwas, Kheers, Mithais & Laddus. Not to mention that it works best in baked recipes like brownies, cakes and ice-creams! There’s no going back to regular sugar, we promise you!

Coconut Sugar in Baking

While Coconut Sugar has a natural golden-brown colour, it works best in Cakes, Chocolates, Breads, Muffins & Cookies. For White or Light-coloured desserts Coconut Sugar is not recommended as it leaves hints of brown. Also, be wary of adding it to mild tasting desserts so as to not over-power it with the flavour of Coconut Sugar!
