The flavor? It's similar to a light brown sugar, but without the metallic finish that is typical in a cane sugar. It has wonderful notes of light butterscotch and caramel with a round smooth flavor curve. It really is luscious & delectable!

What's the Scoop with the Nectar?
SweetTree Organic Coconut Sugar is a 100% organic, minimally processed, unfiltered, and unbleached natural sweetener, containing no preservatives.
SweetTree organic coconut sugar is naturally low on the Glycemic Index (GI), which has benefits for weight control and improving glucose and lipid levels in people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2). SweetTree is rated at a GI-35. By comparison, most commercial agaves are GI-42, honeys are GI-55 and cane sugars are GI-68.
Coconut sugar produces a slow energy release, which sustains the human body through your daily activities without regular sugar “highs” and “lows”. The major component of SweetTree organic coconut sugar is sucrose (70-79%) followed by glucose and fructose (3-9%) each. Minor variations will occur, due to differences in primary processing, raw material source, tree age and variety of coconut.
Agave syrup, another popular alternative sweetener, is primarily made of fructose making it a high fructose syrup, similar to high fructose corn syrup. Many studies have been conducted on sucrose vs. fructose and we suggest you educate yourself to discover which best suits your personal dietary wants and/or needs.
Coconut sugar has a nutritional content far richer than all other commercially available sweeteners. SweetTree is especially high in Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc and Iron and is a natural source of the vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C.

Market Opportunity
Coconut palm sugar represents a tremendous new opportunity for innovation in product formulation that syncs with current trends towards health and quality of diet. Cane sugar alternatives are gaining traction rapidly as packaged food and supplement manufacturers move towards the use of these items in new product offerings.
It can be used as a 1:1 replacement to cane sugar in most applications. It has a very low melt temperature with an extremely high burn temperature, making it perfect for confectionary uses. It also dissolves in liquids and wet dough without residue because it is derived from nectar, as opposed to a crystal particulate like cane sugar.
Diabetes continues to soar in the U.S. and elsewhere, with no signs of slowing down. By the CDC’s latest count nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes (7% of the U.S. population). More than 6 million of those people don’t know they have diabetes. (These numbers represent an increase of 2.6 million people with diabetes since 2002.) These conditions however can be managed. People with type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes can be treated with lifestyle change (such as eating habits and exercise) and/or medications. Due to its Low GI rating and high nutrient content, palm sugar fits the bill as an exceptionally unique lifestyle ingredient that is perfectly in sync with the demands of the market.
Coconut Palm Sugar is the only low glycemic sweetener on the market today, which truly delivers on all aspects of health, transparent equity, traceability and environmental sustainability.
We at Sweet Tree Sustainable Sweeteners are very excited to be offering this amazing product to the global market. Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn about Sweet Tree Organic Coconut Sugar.
* Please note that some palm sugar on the market is also mixed with cane sugar and other malt-based ingredients… which isn’t a bad thing if you don’t mind. These tend to be the white blobs you buy in Asian Markets. SweetTree is PURE coconut palm sugar. No cane sugar added. No chemical inputs. Just pure, unadulterated palm sugar made from 100% coconut nectar from Coco Nucifera.
