Organic Coconut sugar is a premium natural sweetener devoid of added chemicals/additives. It is unbleached and contains no preservatives. Coconut Sugar, also sometimes referred to as palm sugar, is produced by evaporating the sap derived from the flowers of coconut trees.

Enviromental Attributes of Coconut Sugar

Coconut Trees are considered “Trees of Life” by many traditional communities here in Indonesia and around the world; they provide a variety of useful goods such as roofing material, coconut water, food, building material and shade for other crops.

Coconut trees are recognized as ecologically beneficial tree crops which restore damaged soils, require very little water and play a supportive role in sustaining eco-systems of wildlife and other undergrowth. As reported by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the World Bank, Coconut Palms are the world’s most sustainable sources of sweeteners.

Coconut Palms produce 50-70% more sugar per acre than sugar cane and use less than 20% of the nutrients in the soil. Coconut Trees can grow and flourish naturally in diverse eco-systems which are supportive of the presence of wildlife. This offers a contrasting picture of the sombre reality and negative implications of massive mono-crop plantations.

Coconut Trees require little water and can grow in severely depleted soil, and furthermore, can enhance soil structure and fertility; the aforementioned can translate to the conversion of marginalized land into lush jungle over time.
