7 Coconut Sugar Recipes That Are Healthier
Coconut sugar is a natural product made from the nectar of the coconut palm tree.
We are all aware that regular refined table sugar contains no vital nutrients and provides us only with “empty” calories; on the contrary, coconut sugar retains its nutrients most notably the minerals Iron, Zinc, Calcium, and Potassium along with fatty acids such as Polyphenols and Antioxidants.
The fiber Inulin, which slows glucose absorption, grants coconut sugar its low glycemic index (GI) of only 35 – MUCH healthier than the GI of 60 found in regular table sugar.
Coconut sugar provides your body with a steady stream of energy getting rid of sugar lows and energy drops. (Yay!) You will not only obtain nutrients your body needs but you will get that delicious brown sugar taste! (Yum!)
This healthy sugar substitute can be used in all types of recipes including smoothies, salad dressings and baked goods. Sweeten your life with coconut sugar! Here is a selection of delicious recipes to get you started.
