Coconut Palm Sugar, Is It a Healthier Option?
38,741
Publicado 2019-06-22
Coconut palm sugar has become increasingly more popular as an alternative sweetener, derived from coconut tree blossom sap, not the actual coconut itself.
But how does this type of sugar compare to white refined sugar and other varieties? And, are marketing claims referencing it as a "lower-glycemic" substitute actually relevant? Is it a keto-friendly choice? Learn more about whether it’s the right sweetener for you.

Thank you so much for this video. I just purchased some Coconut Palm Sugar because of its health value but didn't know exactly what those benefits were. This has helped my understanding. So far I've been using it in my Asian cooking and it works well there.

I use it for chow fun Thai pad sieu dishes. Supposedly palm sugar is used with the fat Thai noodles for the dish combined with a high cooking temperature and wok smoke point, the aroma of the palm sugar is perfection. Added to the fact that reheating rice noodles breaks down carbs into indigestible fibers and with corn starch as a prebiotic, served with fermented vegetables on the side makes it such a guilt-free dish!🙏🏻🙃🌈

Long time ago, in my country, the main sweeteners were brown sugar and palm brown sugar.. Sad, refined sugar ruins our health now. We got rising number of diabetes, obesity, heart attack, etc nowadays

Coconut sap sugar and coco palm sugar are distinct. The first has low GI of 35 while the second has higher GI about 65. They are not the same.

Hey I want to know something . I've recently bought coconut sugar from a thai brand called "Agrilife". They claim that it's 100% organic. But the colour of the sugar is slightly white like off light . It's not brownish . Would u tell me if they processed and made it white or if it's ok to eat . Plz help me I'm so confused 🥺
