Sweet Tooth Organic Palm Sugar can be used in recipes as a 1-to-1 substitute for cane sugar, and is naturally low on the Glycemic Index, offering benefits for weight control and improving glucose and lipid levels in people with diabetes. Made with the juices of coconut palm sugar blossoms, the sugar compares favorably to other sweeteners like honey, cane sugar and agave. Sweet Tooth Organic Palm Sugar is high in amino acids, potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron and is a good natural source of B vitamins.
Palm Sugar is reported to be the most sustainable sweetener in the world by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the World Bank, with coconut palm trees producing an average of 5075 percent more sugar per acre than sugar cane. Offered in 8-oz and 16-oz re-sealable pouches for SRPs of $3.29 and $5.49, the palm sugar is 100 percent organic, unbleached and contains no preservatives.
