Organic Coconut Sugar
LifeHack Foods Organic Coconut Sugar, derived from the sap of coconut flower buds, is a natural sugar that has a lower glycemic index (~35-54) than white sugar (~60-65). This means it causes a slower, steadier rise in blood sugar which may be beneficial for those managing blood sugar levels. Since coconut sugar requires less processing than white sugar it retains trace amounts of nutrients like zinc, iron, calcium, potassium, and antioxidants. It also contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber that slows glucose absorption and may support gut health. Coconut sugar has a mild caramel or toffee flavor as opposed to the neutral sweetness of regular sugar and works especially well in baked goods like banana bread and cookies or stirred into coffee or tea*
LifeHack: When substituting coconut sugar for regular white or brown sugar, use a 1:1 ratio. However, since coconut sugar doesn’t dissolve as easily as refined sugar, it's best to dissolve it in warm liquid before adding to recipes that call for a smooth texture, like frosting or cold beverages like iced tea.
