Coconut Blossom Sugar - Natural Sweetness from the Coconut Blossom
Coconut blossom sugar is a popular alternative to conventional sweeteners: Particularly rich in minerals, coconut blossom sugar is said to have a positive effect on diabetes due to its low glycemic index. It's also simply delicious. The sugar has a pleasant caramel taste and is perfect for all desserts, pancakes, hot drinks or cocktails. Coconut blossom sugar is gently produced and comes from India.
How is Coconut Blossom Sugar Obtained?
Coconut blossom sugar, also called coconut sugar, is painstakingly produced by small farmers in India by hand. The sugar is obtained by cutting into the blossom bud of the coconut palm. The escaping sap, the coconut nectar, is collected in containers. The coconut nectar is then boiled down at a low temperature. The cooled, crystallized mass is finally ground. Coconut blossom sugar is not to be confused with palm sugar, where the nectar may also come from other palms, besides the coconut palm. A coconut palm can be 'milked' for up to 70 years. 20 coconut palms can secure a small farmer's livelihood with the products obtained such as coconuts, coconut oil, and coconut blossom sugar.
Coconut Blossom Sugar - Glycemic Index and Diabetes
Due to its gentle preparation and high mineral content, it is significantly healthier than refined sugar, which only contains empty calories after production. Particularly positive for diabetics: A low glycemic index of 35 in coconut blossom sugar causes blood sugar levels to rise significantly less compared to the consumption of household sugar. Household sugar has a glycemic index of 56-75. Insulin levels can be kept much more stable in people with diabetes. The consumption of high glycemic food contributes to pancreas and body cells, which absorb glucose with the help of insulin, being overloaded. Blood insulin levels rise quickly and then drop sharply again shortly thereafter.
This is also why the intake of foods with a high glycemic index contributes to weight gain. The rapid drop and low blood sugar level quickly lead to feelings of hunger, causing one to automatically eat more throughout the day. A low glycemic index in food, and in coconut blossom sugar naturally, ensures a stable blood sugar level and is thus also good for people who need and want to watch their weight. Coconut blossom sugar therefore has a positive effect on your weight, in addition to diabetes. Nevertheless, the rule also applies – quantity is key!
Is Coconut Blossom Sugar Healthy?
The sugar from coconut blossoms is rich in nutrients and trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, boron, sulfur, and copper. In addition to its low glycemic index, which positively affects diabetes, insulin resistance, and weight, coconut blossom sugar also offers a good and healthy alternative to industrially produced white sugar. Without wanting to fuel fears: Scientific studies show correlations between foods with a high glycemic index. The risk for breast cancer as well as colon cancer increases. Gallbladder diseases are also assessed with an increased risk due to the elevated glycemic value of household sugar and other foods.
What Does It Taste Like?
Coconut blossom sugar has a pleasant caramel taste and has mainly been used in Asian cuisine so far. Unlike what one might expect from the name coconut sugar, it does not taste or smell like coconut. Coconut blossom sugar can be handled like brown sugar. It excels as a refined sweetener on desserts and drinks, but also on pancakes and hot beverages, as an additive in coffee and tea, on ice cream or yogurt - a dream. Coconut blossom sugar could easily replace household sugar in cakes and pastries, but it is very expensive in the quantities needed. However, you could positively manage the sugar consumption you can influence by using coconut blossom sugar. Over 80% of the sugar we consume, however, is already processed in the foods we eat daily and is thus more difficult to control.
