Coconut Secret - Raw Organic Coconut Nectar - 1 Gallon

Coconut Nectar is a sweet syrup that can be used just like honey, agave nectar or maple syrup. It has a low GI index and unlike agave, boasts a very low percentage of fructose. When the coconut tree is tapped, it produces a naturally sweet, nutrient-rich "sap" that exudes from the coconut blossoms. This sap is very low glycemic and contains 17 amino acids, minerals, vitamin C, broad-spectrum B vitamins, and has a nearly neutral pH. This natural sap is minimally evaporated at low temperatures (only to remove excess moisture and allow sap to thicken), never exceeding an average summer day in the tropics. Some agave syrups are hydrolyzed at temps up to 140 degrees F. for 36 hours, the end product containing 90% fructose, compared to sap nectar which is only 0.5% glucose, 1.5% fructose, 16% sucrose, and 82% inulin. Recipe Tips: The naturally sweet, mild flavor of our Nectar is an ideal sweetener for use on pancakes, over cereal, in tea, smoothies, and all your favorite dessert recipes! (Coconut Nectar does not have distinctly a coconut-like flavor.)
