Get To Know: Organic Coconut Sugar

As time goes on, we learn more about the harmful impacts of refined sugar on our health. From the drinks we buy to the food we consume, it's hard to get away from it! Learn about how coconut sugar could be your next transition into healthier living.

It's More Natural

Coconut sugar is a more natural alternative to commonly-used sugars, made from the sap of coconut palms, the sugary part of the plant. There is a natural 2-step process to make coconut sugar — the flowers on the coconut palms are cut, and the sap is collected into containers before being placed under heat until most of the water has evaporated. The end product leaves us with a beautiful golden brown, granulated sugar.

It's More Nutritious

The issue with regular table sugar is that it supplies the body with many "empty" calories without providing any vital nutrients. While coconut sugar is still calorific, it contains a higher concentration of minerals, such as iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, and a fibre called inulin, which may slow glucose absorption.

It Should Be Enjoyed as Part of a Balanced Diet

Although coconut sugar can provide a healthier alternative to the regular sugar many consume, it is no miracle food (as the reishi mushroom could be considered)! At Satori, we help others develop a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet. Therefore, coconut sugars should be enjoyed as a part of a balanced diet and not consumed excessively!
