Altalena Organic Coconut Sugar made from coconut palm sap, which is the sugary circulating fluid of the coconut plant. It is often confused with palm sugar, which is similar but made from a different type of palm tree. Coconut Sugar, unlike white sugar, contains nutrients such as fiber, protein, potassium, calcium and iron. It is a good alternative to sweeten foods because it does not raise the glycemic index like white sugar does.
