Certified organic coconut flower nectar, is naturally sweet and highly nutritious. Our coconut nectar comes from the coconut trees, derived from the liquid sap of the coconut flowers. It is a very low GI (35) liquid sweetener that naturally contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients.
Natural coconut flower sap contains 1.5% fructose when collected from the blossoms. As the water is removed from the sap, the fructose content of the final liquid only reaches about 10%. In comparison to other sweeteners, such as honey, sugar and agave, this makes coconut nectar a low fructose sweetener.
Coconut nectar is a sucrose based sweetener and thus a healthy alternative for people with fructose sensitivities.
Traditionally, the coconut nectar (and coconut sugar) is a common type of sweetener used in Thai cuisine just like the coconut milk and coconut oil.
The coconut nectar farm is separate from other coconut producing farms. They are a very small percentage of farming in Thailand. In reality, the coconut farmers that produce the nectar do not expect to sell the coconut, neither for the oil or the water. It is a choice made by the farmer to produce the nectar, sugar, the young, or the mature coconut.
Many reference coconut sugar, and coconut palm sugar, they are in fact the same.
