SHORT ANSWER: Yes, sugar is still sugar and we should be mindful of our consumption levels. But what makes Coconut Sugar the perfect sweetener is that it’s unrefined (more nutrients left in and not stripped away), low glycemic (no sugar crashes), easy to use (a simple one to one replacement for cane) and it tastes so so good. Plus it supports people and planet through our sustainable operations in Indonesia where we work with tens of thousands of organic farmers to hand harvest the coconut blossom nectar.
