Coconut Palm Sugar is made from the sap of coconut palms, and is a brown sugar sold as granule, blocks or liquid.  It has an extremely low glycemic index, and an extremely high nutrient content.  Because diabetes is becoming a world wide disease, consumers are concerned with their sugar intake, e.g. in what form their sugar comes in and where it comes from. Because of its low glycemic qualities and high nutrient profile, Coconut Palm Sugar is gaining in popularity for a wide array of uses to cater to the sugar conscious consumer.
