About Two teaspoon of coconut sugar
Two teaspoons of coconut sugar provide a natural, plant-based sweetener derived from the sap of coconut palm trees, commonly used in Southeast Asian and tropical cuisines. With 30 calories and about 8 grams of carbohydrates, it offers a slightly caramel-like flavor, making it a popular alternative to refined white sugar. Coconut sugar contains small traces of minerals like potassium, magnesium, and zinc, and has a lower glycemic index compared to conventional sweeteners, which may help with more stable blood sugar levels. However, it is still high in fructose and should be used in moderation to support a balanced diet. While it offers minimal nutrients compared to whole foods, it’s prized for its less processed nature and subtle flavor in baking or beverages. Suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets, this unrefined sugar is a flavorful way to sweeten recipes with a touch of natural goodness.
