COCOWEL organic coconut blossom sugar — 280 g glass jar and 350 g box
Blossom · Unrefined

Organic Coconut Sugar

Tapped at dawn from the coconut palm's flower.

Before the coconut grows, there is the blossom. Cut early in the morning, the unopened flower yields a sweet nectar that drips slowly into bamboo collectors. We simmer it in open kettles until it crystallises naturally — no refining, no chemicals, no bleaching. What remains is a caramel-coloured sugar with a glycemic index of 35, the minerals of the soil it grew in, and a tropical sweetness you can taste.

The questions

What does glycemic index 35 mean?

The glycemic index measures how quickly a food raises blood glucose, on a scale where pure glucose is 100. Coconut blossom sugar sits at a published reference value of 35; table sugar is around 65. Lower means a slower, flatter release.

Is coconut sugar keto-friendly?

No — and we'd rather say so plainly. It is still sugar, about 92 g of sugars per 100 g. The glycemic index is lower than cane sugar's, but a ketogenic diet excludes sugars altogether.

Is it suitable for people watching their blood sugar?

We make no medical claims. The GI of 35 against table sugar's 65 is a real, published difference, and the mineral content is measured — but anyone managing a condition should talk to their doctor, not a sugar label.

How do I bake with it?

One for one, exactly as you would use brown sugar. It dissolves slightly slower and caramelises beautifully — cookies, cakes and crumbles pick up a warm toffee note.

How is it different from honey?

Honey's GI is around 58 to our 35, and per 100 g our blossom sugar carries substantially more calcium (343 mg, lot 21101277) and iron. It's also vegan and doesn't crystallise in the jar.

What is blossom sugar, exactly?

Sugar tapped from the unopened flower of the coconut palm — not from the fruit. The nectar is collected each morning and simmered in open kettles until it crystallises. Nothing is refined, bleached or added.
