What it is

Coconut nectar is a sweetener made from the sap of the coconut palm flower. The sap is harvested and then gently heated to evaporate some of the water, concentrating the natural sugars. It has a mild, caramel-like flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coconut nectar primarily as a natural sweetener. Its liquid form and mild flavor make it suitable for a variety of products, including baked goods, energy bars, sauces, and beverages. It can also add a subtle color and depth of flavor.

Health notes

Coconut nectar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily composed of sugars, including sucrose, glucose, and fructose. Like other caloric sweeteners, excessive consumption can contribute to increased calorie intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, but specific evaluations for coconut nectar are not widely published.

Allergen info

Coconut nectar is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
