Organic coconut sugar is minimally processed ensuring it retains its naturally high mineral content. Coconut sugar is considered low GI and is rich in magnesium, zinc, iron potassium and amino acids, making it an excellent alternative to cane sugar. Coconut palms use less than 1/5th the soil nutrients and water than sugar cane for production and produce an average of 50-75% more sugar per acre. Coconut palm sugars have been reported as the single most sustainable sweetener in the world by The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the World Bank.
