Coconut sweetener, also known as coco sweetener, coconut palm sweetener, coco sap sweetener, or coconut blossom sweetener, is a natural sugar substitute made from the sap of the coconut palm flower bud stem. It’s a well-liked sweetener in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.
Making coconut sweetener involves a straightforward two-step method:
- A cut is made on the coconut palm flower, and the sap is gathered into containers.
- The sap is heated until most of the water has evaporated. The final product is brown and granulated.
Coconut sweetener is often promoted as a healthier choice compared to regular sugar because of its nutritional value and lower glycemic index. It has small amounts of minerals like iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium, as well as plant nutrients such as polyphenols and antioxidants. However, the high sugar content outweighs any potential advantages.
The glycemic index (GI) of coconut sweetener is around 35, which is lower than the GI of regular sugar (around 60-65). This means it causes a slightly smaller rise in blood sugar levels. However, the health benefits of this small difference in GI are probably small.
Despite its potential benefits, it’s crucial to remember that coconut sweetener is still sugar. It’s high in calories, just like regular sugar, and eating it in large amounts could increase your risk for inflammation, unintentional weight gain, and related diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
In conclusion, while coconut sweetener can be a part of a balanced diet when used in moderation, it should not be seen as a health food or a complete replacement for regular sugar. As with all sugar substitutes, it’s best to use coconut sweetener sparingly.
