Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener made by extracting the sweet sap of coconut flower blossoms. The sap is heated and stirred to evaporate moisture, producing coconut nectar, which is a natural substitute for liquid sweeteners like processed syrups and honey. Further heating of the nectar results in the formation of coconut sugar granules. The colour varies between light blonde to medium brown with a slightly nutty, caramel flavour. Produced at source in small batches in retail pouches or in bulk packaging.
