Coconut sugar is considered healthier than even brown sugar.
Coconut sugar does not cause hyperglycemia or high blood sugar levels and is classified among foods with a low glycemic index. Foods low in glycemic index can help manage conditions such as diabetes and obesity.

Coconut sugar is derived from the flowers of the coconut palm and is produced through a natural two-step process. The juice from the flowers is collected in containers and heated until most of the liquid evaporates. This process results in a thick paste that solidifies and is ground into smaller, more variable grains than white sugar.
Unlike white sugar, which contains "empty calories," coconut sugar is minimally processed and retains its nutrients, including minerals, calcium, iron, potassium, and zinc.
It is rich in B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, and B6), which help combat stress and boost energy, as well as short-chain fatty acids, such as glutamic acid, which support the body's metabolic functions.
Coconut sugar also contains polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, components that reduce inflammation in the blood and lower cholesterol levels.
According to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), these elements are present in double the quantities compared to white sugar.
Compared to refined sugar and cane sugar, coconut sugar has a healthier composition and lower glycemic index (GI). It is about 30-35, while classic white sugar has a glycemic index of 80. Its composition makes it a healthy substitute for white sugar, meaning its consumption does not lead to feelings of lethargy, hunger, or irritability.
However, it should be noted that natural sweeteners, such as coconut sugar, maple syrup, or molasses, can be healthy options but should be consumed in moderation, as they are still sources of sugar.
The key to a balanced diet is making healthy choices and understanding the nutritional properties of foods. Once you realize how many tasty and healthy alternatives you have at your disposal, you will find that your meals and snacks are countless. Remember that maintaining a healthy weight and improving health does not necessarily mean cutting out your favorite treats; it simply means adapting them to healthier options.
