Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi Georgia, They are not dumb questions at all. I have taken this definition of palm sugar from Wikipedia. " Palm sugar was originally made from the sugary sap of the Palmyra palm or the date palm. Now it is also made from the sap of the sago and coconut palms and may be sold as " coconut sugar. " The sugar is a golden brown paste, sold in tubes, blocks or tin cans. It may be light-colored or dark, soft and gooey or hard. " I assume the production process they are referring to is somewhat different to ours, as our coconut sugar looks exactly as you describe, granulated brown sugar. It seems that coconut or palm sugar may mean something different, depending on which country it is produced in......Wherever it is produced, it is a great natural sweetener. Take care, Steve P.S. I guess Mr. Magat will be able to give a much better answer to your questions. > > Hello, I have some dumb questions: what form/texture does the coconut sugar > come in.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi ! Greetings from the Philippines ! If you are referring to the coconut sugar product derived from the fresh coconut sap (usually crystal white organic/natural liquid exudates from the daily fully partially cut or wounded cross section of the unopened coconut spathe (male pollen spikelets and ovoid structured female flowers intact), this called in many ways: coconut sugar, coconut sap sugar, coconut palm sugar which contains sucrose (more than 80%) and invert or reducing sugars as glucose and fructose (total of these two simple sugasr of about 8%). During the crystallization and granulation of the coconut sugar (currently done manually yet), some of the sucrose sugar are converted to glucose and fructose, and this is very likely the reason for having a sugar with a glycemix index lower than 50, that is GI 35. According to current standards, a GI of 50 or lower is desirable as such sugar does not cause diabetes or healthy for diabetic people and non-diabetic people (children, young and old ones ). The coconut sugar (colored light brown, brown to dark brown) produced, sold and consumed in the Philippines are in three main forms as medium to coarse powdered (single-grained), granulated, pelletized, and combination of the three. If you daily use internet, coconut sugar from the Philippines will become more and more available in the US and other non-coconut producing countries, due to the increasing demand, as I understand well nowadays. Hoping, this helps you understand coconut (sap) sugar better. Cheers, Sev Magat hahagranny@... wrote: Hello, I have some dumb questions: what form/texture does the coconut sugar come in.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hey I lived in the Philippines for 3 years as a kid. First on Air Force Base which doesn't really count and then for a year in Manila. I remember eating Halo Halo and all sorts of yummy things. Star fruit too. And mangoes off the tree in the back yard. We lived in the Rizal neighborhood and I went to the International School for 7th grade. Also loved Baggio (spelling?) because it seemed so magical and we visited the weavers. I learned to scuba dive in the South China sea too. And I never saw more beautiful people in that country of yours--maybe Native Americans are up there with you. I hope to some day return for a visit to your incredible country.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hello, Thanks for a lot of excellent info. I really appreciated the sugar info in comparison for diabetes. Soooo, where in the states can this be bought? I have done a preliminary search & need to go into it further but I am " lazy " & appreciate others experiences/recommendations. It sounds like I really want the coconut sugar & need to watch & make sure it is not from the cane & is the " sucrose " you mentioned added or a filter. Again, thanks & any buying info would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi phine, No, coconut sugar is not a processed food, in fact it's about as un-processed as you could get. It's the result of evaporating down the sap of the coconut palm tree - that's it! One or two small producers in the Philippines have started to export it.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I can get coconut palm sugar at my local grocery store here in Houston: H-E-B. More than likely you will find it at Whole Foods. I am not sure where you are, so giving your location might give me another clue as to where to find it. Coconut sugar is very low on the glycemic index. In fact it rates 35 on the glycemic index, whereas white sugar rates about 60-65 (some say around 70). This is pretty high on the GI scale. Foods high on the GI scale will raise your blood sugar quite rapidly, whereas something like coconut sugar will do so slowly. Stevia has no calories or carbs, therefore it will have a negative impact on your blood sugar levels. However I do question, as one poster here has already expressed, if the sweet taste of any sweetener (including stevia) will raise insulin levels. - ----------- Everything you thought about health may be wrong.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I am between Branson and Springfield Missouri. Neither town has a Whole Foods. I will have to ask at my healthfood shop where else I might be able to find it. I know the coconut oil I get from them is the best I have tasted. The brand I get from Wal-Mart is good only to cook and other stuff like that it has no taste, just an oily feel in my mouth. I like for it to have the coconut flavor if I am adding it to my tea or some other food or drink. I have read some articles that say if you eat or drink something sweet that it will cause the blood sugar to go up, even if the food or drink have no calories. I have been kind of testing that with the stevia and it seems to be true.
