Our Organic Coconut Nectar is low-glycemic (Glycemic Index 35), so it won’t cause the energy crash that sugar or honey do. Mild and smooth, it’s perfect for your morning cup of tea or as a recipe substitute for ordinary sweeteners like honey, agave, and maple syrup.

Coconut nectar is made from the fragrant, sweet sap of coconut palm blossoms. This vitamin & mineral-rich nectar is traditionally hand-harvested in wildlife-friendly coconut groves and carefully processed by small-holder farmers who take pride in bringing you this gift from the tropical tree of life! 100% of the money from growing, harvesting and primary processing of this ingredient enriches the local community, creating a legacy of sustainable island entrepreneurs!

Use in place of cane sugar, honey, or agave to sweeten tea, coffee, cereal, baked goods, and desserts.

What makes coconut nectar low-glycemic?
It's the nutritional co-factors, which slow down the process of absorbing the sugars. Refined cane sugar is like a drug: a chemically pure crystal of 100% sucrose comprised of short chain saccharides (which digest quickly, causing blood sugar spikes). This is why refined cane sugar rates a high 65 on the glycemic index. Lowering our intake of high-glycemic foods such as cane sugar has benefits for weight control and improving glucose and lipid levels in people with diabetes.

Coconut nectar, on the other hand, is 75% sucrose, comprised of long-chain saccharides, which the body must break down, so they are absorbed much slower. (coconut nectar also has additional small percentages of fructose and glucose.) Coconut nectar also has significant levels of minerals (especially Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc and Iron), vitamins (particularly B1, B2, B3, B6 and C), and over 14 important amino acids. These other materials, and especially the amino acids, are thought to act as a buffer to the sucrose, slowing the speed at which the sugars are absorbed into the blood stream.
