Live Superfoods (tm) - Organic Coconut Palm Sugar, 16oz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's really good, and as described-a caramelly taste.It's almost like eating candy-the only downside is shipping-15 dollars total, other than that it tastes pretty good.I'm excited to put it in my oatmeal :); if I could describe it I'd say it resembles brown sugar in both taste, and color. In this time we're living in now, it's exciting to see how versatile, and a true blessing coconuts are.They provide us with food, water,sweetner,moisturizer,oil for cooking, and an overall healthy natural product for us consumers.Enjoy!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I am a big fan of the regular sweet tree coconut palm sugar, I felt the vanilla variety had a very bitter taste. Did not enjoy it at all and will stick to the regular stuff!

Big Tree Farms Coconut Palm Sugar with Ginger Root, 2.2-Pound Pouch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I made a scratch coffee cake utilizing a mixture of this sugar with palm sugar from Thailand. The taste of the batter was incredible! Additionally, the crumb topping was a mixture of Big Tree's palm sugar with ginger root plus Billington's dark brown sugar, which has a deep and wonderful molasses flavor. My house church members who sampled this cake found it remarkable. They loved it, saying it was wonderful and rich. Beige/brown in its coloring make-up, the cake had a solid texture to it. The cake was made with goat butter and raw goat's milk, to boot, adding to its uniqueness. It will be one of my mainstay cake recipes and a cake to make and sell (if anybody's interested!!). I LOVE to make authentic cakes (which are always prayed over and blessed) using authentic ingredients, because mine are 'Cakes Like Grandma Made!'

(More customer reviews)This had a good taste to it. We like it, but I don't use it to sweeten just anything. A good alternative to processed sugar in some applications.

Azukar Organics Natural Coconut Sugar, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 3) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using Azukar Organics Coconut Sugar for about 6-9 months now and have to say that I am thrilled with it. It is a one-for-one substitute in recipies. So those of us who cannot handle cane sugar for whatever reason can enjoy baked goods again! I haven't been able to tolerate cane sugar (migraines, mood swings, etc.) for over three years now and this sugar has given me back the joy that is cookies and pies!
It is also low-glycemic which means it is a safe alternative for diabetics to cane sugar and unsafe, unhealthy artificial sweenteners!
The flavor is wonderful and I use it in everything from belgiun waffles and muffins to green tea frappes and pumpkin pie! You wont regret this purchase!

Azukar Coconut Sugar is a delicious gourmet quality sweetener, 100% Natural and Organic. Coconut sugar has a low glycemic index and has been shown to be helpful to people suffering from Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes (check with your doctor before using). Coconut sugar is made from fresh coconut sap (toddy) collected from the cuttings of its inflorescence (flower buds). The scientific name for coconut is Cocos nucifera. Early Spanish explorers called it coco, which means "monkey face" because the three indentations (eyes) on the hairy nut resembles the head and face of a monkey. Nucifera means "nut-bearing."The coconut provides a nutritious source of meat, juice, milk, and oil that has fed and nourished populations around the world for generations. Nearly one third of the world's population depends on coconut to some degree for their food and their economy.Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is classified as a "functional food" because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content. Coconut is also extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacificpopulations. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called "The Tree of Life." Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut's amazing healing powers.

Big Tree Farms Coconut Palm Blonde Sugar, 2.2-Pound Pouch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This coconut sugar has become my sweetener of choice for several reasons.
PROS:
- low glycemic, so a good choice for the occasional treat if you are on a low carb diet.
- NOT full of fattening fructose like agave nectar.
- an all natural, whole food. Minimal processing; not an extract or isolated compound.
- full of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids - at least compared to the low or nonexistent levels in other sugars.
- no taste difference in the recipes I've made.
- granulated, so easier to use than the blocks of coconut sugar sold elsewhere, and easy to replace cup for cup in recipes using sugar (though it will be a little less sweet)
- comes in a resealable bag.
- shipping was fast and packaging adequate.
CONS:
- it does have a strong smell upon opening the bag - very "caramely" but it doesn't taste like caramel in finish products. Go figure. My sister likes the smell so probably just a personal preference.
- somewhat expensive if you are planning to use loads of it as a sugar replacement in a Standard American Diet. Used judiciously it should last a while.
A note on the Big Tree Farms brand:
"Coconut sugar" or "palm sugar" can be made from different types of palm but the Amazon product description does not specify and the label on the product image is too small. On the bag I received, however, it does specify "made from the nectar of coconut flowers" which is the kind tested and shown to have a low GI. The country of origin is listed as Indonesia.
