{"product_id":"organic-coconut-sugar-250g","title":"Organic Coconut Sugar 250g","description":"\u003cp\u003eCoconut sugar is made by evaporating the sap of coconut palm flowers — a minimally processed, unrefined sweetener with a warm, caramel-like flavour reminiscent of brown sugar but with more complexity.

Mix with 2 eggs, 80ml melted coconut oil, 80g coconut sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla. Fold in 200g plain flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, and 50g chopped walnuts. Bake at 175°C for 45–50 minutes. The coconut sugar adds a deeper, more complex caramel note than white sugar — particularly good with banana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNutritional Values per 100g\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1640 kJ \/ 390 kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOf Which Saturates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbohydrates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOf Which Sugars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Coconut Sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs coconut sugar healthier than white sugar?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has a slightly lower glycaemic index (around 54 vs 65 for white sugar) and retains trace minerals and inulin from the coconut sap.
