What it is

Coconut blossom sap is a liquid sweetener tapped from the flower buds of the coconut palm tree. The sap is heated to evaporate water, concentrating the sugars and creating a syrup or solid form. It has a caramel-like flavor and a lower glycemic index compared to refined sugar.

Health notes

It contains some minerals and antioxidants, but the amounts are typically small in the context of typical food consumption. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, but specific evaluations for coconut blossom sap's safety at defined intake levels are not widely publicized.
