Product Description

Nutiva Organic Coconut Sugar brings a subtle sweetness - similar to brown sugar with a hint of caramel - to your kitchen and is the perfect alternative to cane sugar, corn syrup, and artificial sweeteners. Unlike other sweeteners on the market, our granulated coconut sugar is never processed using hexane or other dangerous chemicals. Instead, it starts with collecting the fresh sap from sustainably grown coconut trees. This raw sap is gently heated so that the excess moisture evaporates away, leaving behind an unrefined and unprocessed granular sugar considered by some to be healthier than refined and chemical sweetener options. Nutiva Organic Coconut Sugar contains potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. It is also reported to have a lower glycemic index than other sweeteners on the market and is often considered to be a wholesome addition to vegetarian, vegan, whole food, paleo-friendly, ketogenic, and gluten-free diets. Nutiva was founded in 1999 with a single purpose in mind - to Revolutionize the Way the World Eats. Our role is to produce and promote organic, nutrient-dense foods that are good for you and good for the planet. Social and environmental responsibility is a core part of Nutiva’s culture and business. From sourcing organic products, to obtaining fair trade certification, to greening our facilities and operations, to funding tree planting at schools in our local community, we are constantly seeking ways to better protect our environment and ensure a better quality of life for employees, customers, and the communities we serve.

coconut sugar is perfectly sweet, works so nice in coffee, sprinkles on oatmeal, used in baking
I've been using coconut sugar on and off for about a decade. Lower glycemic level which means that it doesn't cause blood sugar to spike as quickly or as high as other sugars. Also has naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. There is NO coconut taste. It is really quite close to brown sugar tasting, but drier like white sugar granules. I think that is what makes it so easy to swap in- there isn't a big difference in taste. Not using something that is going to make anything taste weird. Just tastes like sugar, but better in so many ways.I find it works with anything, as 1:1 swap for refined white sugar. I don't sweeten my coffee but rarely, but it works great in coffee, over hot oatmeal, etc. Can be a little trickier in baking but its workable (can be use as brown sugar or white sugar replacement). I usually do a combo. I always keep some coconut sugar on hand for guests for their coffee.I like the smaller bags. I tend to buy 1 lb bags rather than larger. I either keep in in the bag, or I pour into a jar. Any clumping over time will easily break apart. It doesn't get hard like brown sugar can get.Lasts forever. I ignore the expiration or best by date. It isnt going to go bad.No bugs (be sure to sort reviews by newest to find info on product that is most relevant to your order)

5.0 out of 5 stars Coconut sugar is worth your consideration
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2013
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 3)Verified Purchase
Let me start off by saying that coconut sugar may not be for you, or that you may need to learn to like it. My usage of coconut sugar is primarily for my morning coffee.

Coconut sugar is derived from evaporating the water away from the nectar of the coconut palm flower. It is not refined like traditional table sugar, and as a result, has slightly inconsistent granule size and the occasional (harmless) spec or two of material in it that comes along with it. Ignore the reviews that say these are bugs.

As a health-oriented consumer, a father, and someone who likes to support sustainable agriculture, I can stand behind coconut sugar. From a health standpoint, coconut sugar has a low Glycemic Index (35) that makes it suitable for diabetics. This means that your body can easily control the rate at which your cells burns this sugar for fuel, which is important because it prevents the "sugar spike" and subsequent "sugar crash" later. From a vantage point of a consumer who wants to support healthy, sustainable "green" industries, coconut sugar is a good product to stand behind. The nectar is extracted from the prolific flower buds that grow on the coconut palm, and the tree can keep continually producing new buds. This means that the grow-cycle is very quick, highly renewable, and the trees are capable of producing for up to 75 years. Additionally, coconut palm trees are capable in growing in areas that many other crop plants are incapable of growing. Compare this scenario to land that has been used to grow/harvest sugarcane or beets: (you can do a google image search on the phrase harvested sugarcane" and compare this to a google image search of "harvested coconut palm sugar.") The unusable remains of the sugarcane plant (after the sugar has been extracted) has to be burned whereupon the smoke and particulate matter drift into neighboring communities to sugarcane plantations.

Regardless if you have been convinced of the health benefits and ecological/agricultural benefits of coconut sugar, let me provide some perspective of what your experience with this actual product will be. This product was one of the more economical options among the coconut sugar varieties on amazon, and it was completely comparable to the other varieties I have tried. I liked how it was packaged in three separate one pound bags, and each bag is resealable. It dissolves completely in coffee, but (as other reviewers have noted) there is the occasional speck of matter from the coconut sugar that looks like a floating coffee ground or something.

Now onto the experience/taste with coconut sugar in general: you may have to learn to like it, but I found this fairly easy to accomplish. First of all, I had a fairly typical "western" palette that was previously scorched by over-sweetened foods. At first, I found the coconut sugar to be less sweet than refined sugar, but I quickly adjusted. Additionally, coconut sugar has a distinct flavor that you will not find in processed sugar. The taste is NOT that of a coconut, but more like molasses or brown sugar. I found the taste to be perfectly fine and not a big deal, but I could definitely understand an argument that it can slightly alter the taste of food/drink containing it. I am a bit of a "coffee snob," so a number of people may think level of detail is overkill: the coconut sugar pairs nicely (in my opinion) with coffees with chocolate, caramel, or richer (especially earthier) overtones; so for most people's big, bold morning cup 'o joe it should be just fine. Where I find that the coconut sugar can start to interfere with coffee's taste would tend to be with lighter, dessert coffees, and coffees that have hints of citrus or wine-like notes. As far as baking with coconut sugar, again, some people may find it to be slightly less sweet, which is something that (in my opinion) is a nice thing to start getting accustomed.

Lastly, I just want to point out some more nutritional info on coconut sugar: it contains a surprising amount of vitamins and minerals. According to wikipedia, coconut sugar is "a rich source of potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. In addition to this it contains Vitamin B1, B2, B3, and B6. When compared to brown sugar, coconut sugar has 36 times the iron, four times the magnesium, and over 10 times the amount of zinc." However, no one should ever doubt the fact that this product is still sugar and still provides just as many calories. Like anything, consider moderation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nutiva Organic Sugar, Coconut
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2014
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 3)Verified Purchase
I gave this 5 stars because it is really good ... tastes just like brown sugar once you put it on something. For example, I love it on sweet potatoes, so I bake a sweet potato, then open it up and put some coconut sugar on it. You can see it carmalize/melt into it, and it tastes just like brown sugar.

It is a brown colored sugar and tastes nothing like coconut. Not even a hint, IMO.

Coconut sugar is low on the glycemic index, which is why I will eat this sugar. It doesn't spike your blood sugar as fast as regular sugar would. To read more about this you can google it and lots of things come up.

I ordered the 3-bag order, and just an FYI ... it is A LOT of sugar, so if you aren't sure about buying it, I'd start with the one bag size (which is what I should have done!). I'll eventually eat get to eating it all, but it will take a very long time! I haven't baked with it at all so I'm not sure how it would come out in baked goods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality and flavor
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2013
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 3)Verified Purchase
I have been using coconut sugars for the last 3 years due to a development of allergy to cane sugar. Coconut sugar also has a lower glycemic index than table sugar so I enjoy the stability it provides to my sugar levels (no sudden sugar highs or lows anymore).

I used to buy a different brand altogether in my local grocery store for a comparable price but relocated to a new state and availability is now spotty. This is my first time to try Nutiva brand.

Coconut sugar has a mild maple like flavor and this brand delivers that. In addition, I found this brand to have a consistent grain -- if you've tried a variety of coconut sugars you'll find some with larger grains or 'lumpy' inconsistent grains as well as shell chips or even a random beetle in them (yes, that's right; not all countries have quality control quite like the US!). Nutiva brand, however, has had none of these issues in the 3 bags I've used so far. I find it to be good quality with the expected flavor and the price is affordable. I'll be reordering this brand again.
