Z Natural Foods Coconut Palm Sugar - Organic is composed of 78% sugars and 22% nutrients such as zinc, iron, magnesium, potassium, some of the B vitamins, antioxidants and inulin, a prebiotic. It’s not surprising that it is so nutrient dense as the sap would be feeding the blossoms to create new coconuts. Also coconut palm is a more sustainable crop as it is nearly twice as productive as sugarcane and it grows in depleted soils. This product is 100% natural and minimally processed. Taste, smell, texture, and color may vary from batch to batch. Due to its nature, this powder tends to clump. If clumping occurs, lay the bag on a flat surface and place a towel over the bag. Then pound on the bag until the clumps break up. The towel will help protect the bag from damage.

Z Natural Foods Xylitol - 100% Pure is a sugar alcohol that is naturally present in various fruits and vegetables. It was originally extracted from birch trees in Finland. Our Xylitol is derived from Non-GMO corn. It is comparable to xylitol derived from other sources, such as birch. Xylitol is a normal part of the human metabolism. In fact, our bodies make up to 15 grams of it daily. Additionally, xylitol has been found to possibly support an increase in the activity of white blood cells involved in fighting bacteria and thus may support a healthy immune and aging process. It has been proven effective in inhibiting Candida albicans, a serious yeast condition that is implicated in gum disease, bad breath, and ulcers. Resembles sugar in consistency and taste (about 80% as sweet as sugar), but has 40 percent fewer calories and 75 percent fewer carbohydrates than sugar. Additionally, xylitol is not easily converted to fat and has almost no effect on insulin levels, making it a great alternative for diabetics, bodybuilders, and dieters. Xylitol also is considered safe for pregnant and nursing women, babies, and children. Xylitol tastes wonderful with no strange diet taste and kids love it. Using xylitol instead of sugar and/or refined carbohydrate foods may help to support a healthy female cycle. Research shows that dietary xylitol may support bone health of bones in rats and improves bone density, indicating xylitol's potential to support healthy bones in humans.

Z Natural Foods Agave Inulin Powder - Organic is extracted from 100% Organic Blue Tequilana Weber Agave. This species of blue agave is well known for its use in the production of premium tequila and agave nectar (a naturally low glycemic index sweetener) and is also an excellent source for inulin. The inulin is extracted from the blue agave plant through a gentle enzymatic process. To produce 1 pound of inulin, 6 pounds of agave are required. Organic Agave Inulin Powder is a "super fiber" with a neutral, clean, mildly sweet flavor. Agave inulin is a low glycemic sweetener, making it a healthy alternative for people with diabetes and those watching their blood sugar levels. Scientific studies have shown that inulin may help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of certain cancers, and increase the absorption of nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium. Organic Inulin from agave has the added benefit of being very soluble in cold water, meaning it can be incorporated into beverages, baked goods, dairy products, and substitute for the properties of fat without the high calories. Organic Agave Inulin Powder not only works like fiber but may also act as a probiotic to support intestinal health. Agave contains saponins, and according to experts, saponins, which are found in a variety of plant roots such as ginseng, have anti-inflammatory, immune system-boosting, and antimicrobial properties. Significant historical use of agave included it being used by the Aztecs to treat wounds and prevent infection.
