Organic Coconut Palm Sugar is a rich, unrefined brown sugar with a deep caramel flavor. It is produced by tapping the sweet nectar from the tropical coconut palm tree flower and drying the nutrient rich juice in a large open kettle drum. The juice condenses into a delicious, hand-made whole brown sugar that adds natural color and a depth of flavor to baking.
Organic Coconut Palm Sugar & Sustainability
Unlike the production of Palm Oil (made from the Elaeis guineensis)which has received a negative image for causing damage to the natural environment though deforestation and habitat loss for endangered species, Coconut Palm Sugar is produced on small, sustainable, cooperative owned farms. The coconut palm tree has been harvested for over 4000 years. Farmers harvest all year round and use every part of the coconut palm tree including the coconut fruit for meat and water as well as the fibrous husk of the coconut for twine or weaving material. Coconut Palm Trees (Cocos nucifera) are tapped for 25-40 years and use less water than most other crops. Since the tree produces for so long they are not cut down after each harvest.
Use as a 1 for 1 replacement for brown sugar.
