As the harmful effects of common sugar become known, people resort to healthier choices, less harmful to the body. A good option is coconut sugar, which is natural, unprocessed from the coconut palm. Its production process involves two stages, the collection of the flower and its juice, which then evaporates the liquid through heating and finally we receive golden grains, the coconut sugar. Coconut sugar, unlike common sugar retains some of its nutrients such as: iron, zinc, calcium and potassium. It is also very important to note that this sugar has a low glycemic index, as it contains inulin, which slows down the absorption of glucose. WARNING! The diet with coconut sugar is not a substitute for therapeutic treatment with drugs prescribed by the attending physician.
