Who would ever thought the words "sugar" and "healthy" could be in one sentence! But in regards to coconut sugar they actually can be! Coconut sugar has been one of my go-to sweeteners for years (along with agave, maple syrup, mink fruit and stevia)! Why? Because not only does it sweeten up my dishes, treats and coffee but it also comes with loads of health benefits! Coconut sugar is...
loaded with healthy fats to help lower cholesterol
loaded with fiber
contains minerals iron, zinc, calcium and potassium
suitable for diabetics due to its low glycemic index
rich in the amino acid "glutamine" which help increase the metabolism
substitutes for brown sugar
loaded with cancer fighting antioxidants
Need I say more?? If you have yet to try coconut sugar I highly suggest you give it a try! A little goes a long way and it can be used as a subs for refined sugar in any recipe! Give it a try and see what all the hype is about!
