Coconut Sugar
Some things just need to taste sweet, cupcakes,brownies,biscuits, but what to do when everything that sweetens is a big no no? Sugar is bad as it supplies “empty” calories, artificial sugar is even worse!
That's when you turn to coconut sugar. According to Doctor. Oz (2013)Coconut sugar retains quite a bit of the nutrients found in the coconut palm such as Iron, Zinc, Calcium and Potassium, along with some short chain fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants. It even
contains a fiber called Inulin, which slows glucose absorption and explains why coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than regular table sugar.
So don't despair coconut sugar is here to help. It can be found at any health food store for arond $5 a bag like the one pictured below to the left.
