Organic Coconut Flower Blossom Nectar

Organic coconut flower blossom nectar is a sweetener made from the sap of the coconut palm flower. The nectar is tapped from the flower buds and then gently heated to evaporate some of the water, concentrating the sugars.

Manufacturers use it as a natural sweetener, similar to honey or maple syrup, to add sweetness and a subtle caramel-like flavor. It can be found in a variety of products including dressings, marinades, baked goods, and beverages.

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