    The Benefits of Organic Coconut Sugar

    Unlike ordinary sugar, Organic Coconut palm sugar is a low glycemic index food, and so has various benefits to eating it over regular palm sugar. Coconut sugar is very different in both texture and taste to regular palm sugar.

    However, it has a subtle sweet caramel hint to it a little like brown sugar and does vary slightly in appearance, texture and taste according to the nature of the plant. Organic Coconut sugar is also known as coconut palm sugar and cocoa sugar and is the sugar sap from the coconut palm flower buds. It has been used for thousands of years as a sweetener in the countries where the coconut palms grow abundantly.

    Organic Coconut Sugar has Traces of Nutrition

    Regarding nutrition, the Philippine Coconut Authority reported coconut palm sugar to have a Glycemic Index (GI) of 35, making it a low glycemic food. It has been measured to have 25% per 100 grammes of our daily recommended potassium intake and provide 16 calories per teaspoon.

    Palm sugar doesn't offer much in the way of vitamins and minerals. However, there are traces of beneficial nutrients such as a B vitamin inositol, vitamin C, calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, among several others.

    Organic Coconut Palm Sugar is a Low Glycemic Food

    In order to find where a food is on the glycemic index, the effect carbohydrates have on a person's blood sugar is measured. Regular sugar has a rating of between 60 and 75, and so the fact that organic coconut palm sugar is reported to have just 35 is a positive thing.

    The higher the glycemic index number, the more it will cause your blood sugar to spike, and then crash, causing unstable blood sugar and contributing to related diseases such as Diabetes.

    Organic Coconut Sugar is better than Regular Palm Sugar

    While it is not strictly considered a health food, it is one of the best ways to sweeten food and drink over other options such as regular sugar, which is empty calories and has a high impact on blood sugar levels.

    Coconut sugar can be used in baking, tea and coffee, and all sorts of other things that require a sweetener. Because it has a slightly different flavour too, you might end up using less of it than you would normal sugar.

    As well as having fewer calories per teaspoon, Coconut sugar also contains several trace vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to health, which conventional white sugar does not.

    Organic Coconut Palm Sugar Crib Sheet

    To summarise - Organic Coconut Sugar is an unrefined, natural sweetener. It contains trace nutrients such as zinc, iron, magnesium and many others. It also provides quite a high amount of potassium, which is beneficial to nerve health, muscle strength, and blood pressure.

    Most of all, coconut sugar is held in high esteem for its low GI rating, meaning that spikes in blood sugar can be avoided when using this sweetener. This coconut sugar, or coco palm sugar, has many advantages over regular palm sugar and has many unique qualities too.

    Great service great tea

    Never tried hibiscus tea, friend recommended it for blood pressure, I like it on it own, slightly sharp taste, if you like raspberry or rhubarb you won’t need sugar 👍

    Marine Collagen

    I've been navigating the many symptoms of perimenopause, and one that particularly bothered me was hair loss. However, since I started taking Natural Health Market's Pure Marine Collagen powder in my coffee, I've noticed a significant improvement! My hair feels thicker, healthier, and I no longer dread washing or brushing it. This collagen powder has been a game-changer for me, and it's so easy to incorporate into my daily routine. Highly recommend it to anyone dealing with similar issues!

    Took a lot of shopping until I found the site that does the spirulina high standards

    During December2024 they had a sale. I lost count how many times I sent the link for People to buy it and I still would’ve bought it even without the sale price. spirulina highest quality and I’ve been buying it for a long time.

    Organic Chamomile tea bags

    Have now bought these twice as they are so good. Nice to see that the whole flower is available to be seen and used. The taste is very good and if left to brew the taste isn’t too overpowering. Would not hesitate to recommend these tea bags. Natural Health Market deliver very quickly in a very secure box. Will definitely be using again as we also buy Organic Ginger tea bags from Natural Health Market and they are equally as good.

    Tea bags

    I always order from Natural Health Market, as they are the only company I have found where the tea bags don’t leak while steeping. The tea taste so good as well. I am well stocked up with Tumeric, Hibiscus, Peppermint, and Ginger. I don’t have caffeine so good to order from same place when needed. I wonder if you could source Dandelion teabags as well!

    Excellent product

    I ordered wheat grass as I'd read that it was beneficial for the mouth and teeth. I use a little, dissolved in water, as a mouth rinse, and also drink a small amount. I have been very pleased with this product and love that it is so pure and free from chemicals.
    Ordering was easy and delivery quick. Very happy 😊.
