What it is

Coconut syrup is a sweetener made from the sap of the coconut palm tree. The sap is harvested and then heated to evaporate most of the water, resulting in a thick, dark syrup similar in consistency to maple syrup.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coconut syrup primarily as a natural sweetener. Its mild, caramel-like flavor makes it suitable for a variety of foods, including baked goods, energy bars, cereals, and desserts.

Health notes

Coconut syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is primarily composed of sugars, providing carbohydrates for energy. Like other added sugars, excessive consumption may contribute to health concerns. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, but specific evaluations for coconut syrup are not widely published.

Allergen info

Coconut is botanically classified as a drupe (a type of fruit), not a tree nut. Therefore, coconut syrup is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
