Coconut is not called the tree of life for nothing. From its lumber (and, yes, even its leaves) being used as construction materials; to its fruits (crops) as sources of, among others, export-worthy nata de coco and coco jam; to its trimmed buds as sources of coconut toddy (locally known as tuba ng niyog<\/em>), local wines that, over time, are turned into vinegar \u2013 every part of a coconut has a use, one way or another.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enter Coco Natura \u2013 made from the coconut sap, the coco sugar is now acknowledged to be, by far, the best sugar alternative available.
\nNow considered as the next big thing following the boom of virgin coconut oil, coco sugar is made from freshly harvested coconut sap, which is the sweet juice that drips from a newly formed coconut flower bud (i.e. tuba ng niyog). The processing \u2013 through boiling \u2013 is, done using farm level technology, simple, thereby ensuring the maintenance of the raw material\u2019s absolute innate state.<\/p>\n

In fact, tests done by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) and the Department of Science Technology (DOST) of the Philippines has revealed a low glycemic index (GI), making coco sugar \u2013 and Coco Natura \u2013 the ideal sugar substitute for the health conscious and diabetics, among others.<\/p>\n

And so comes nature\u2019s newest finest sweetener.<\/p>\n
