Coconut sugar is an excellent alternative to refined white sugar. What’s more, it gives you some great opportunity to try out some exciting recipes. So if you are indeed depriving yourself of those fantastic homemade cookies or fruit crumbles, you shouldn’t, use coconut sugar instead and devour every bite.
How is it healthier?
Coconut sugar is a powerhouse of nutrition. When white sugar is refined, all the nutrition is stripped off given the processing. Coconut sugar, on the other hand, retains all its minerals, including those of zinc, calcium, potassium and iron as it goes through bare minimum processing.
Coconut sugar is formed from the coconut palm flowers. The sap is removed from the flower buds, it is then heated, till all the moisture evaporates and the thick paste that remains is ground to achieve sugar granules.
Coconut sugar is good for you, as it does not have a harmful impact on your blood sugar levels. Its glycemic index is low. The glycemic level of coconut sugar is 35 as compared to cane sugar which is well above the 50 marks. Foods that come with a high glycemic index cause you to feel lethargic feel hungry faster and also make you feel irritable.
So, go ahead and include this amazing alternative to refined white sugar in your diet for a healthy life.
