The coconut takeover continues! Over the past couple years, many of us have replaced our oil, our milk, and now our sugar. The wonders of coconut continue to impress. This month, coconut palm sugar is taking (and baking) the cake!

Coconut palm sugar is pure dried sap from the blossoms of the coconut tree. It’s certified vegan, fairly traded, organic and boasts verification on the low glycemic index, making it ideal in moderation for those monitoring their blood sugar.

Naturally sweet, coconut palm sugar can be used in place of refined sugar at a 1:1 ratio. Surprisingly, it doesn’t taste like coconut. With a moist and crumbly texture and a mild, caramely taste, it is perfectly suited to mix into any recipe.

We love this versatile and delicious sweetener! Find it in our bulk dry goods department, available from a pinch to a pound.
