What it is
Coconut palm sugar is a sweetener made from the sap of coconut palm flower buds. The sap is harvested and then heated to evaporate most of the water, leaving behind sugar crystals. It has a slightly caramel-like flavor and a brown color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use coconut palm sugar primarily as a sweetener. It is often found in baked goods, cereals, and desserts as a replacement for refined sugar. Its flavor and color can also contribute to the overall taste and appearance of a product.
Health notes
Coconut palm sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. It contains some minerals and fiber, but in amounts too small to significantly impact health. JECFA has evaluated coconut palm sugar and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Evidence on its health effects compared to other sugars is mixed, with some studies suggesting a lower glycemic impact, while others show similar effects.
Allergen info
Coconut palm sugar is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
