Big Tree Farms Organic Brown Coconut Sugar - Coconut Palm Sugar, Unrefined, Fine Crystals, Cane Sugar Replacement, Coconut Blossom Nectar, Vegan, Perfect for Baking - 2 Pound (Pack of 2)

Not as tasty as regular brown sugar, but good… and worth it for better health.

Really great as regular brown sugar replacement and is priced well compared to stores.

My family has a history of hypoglycemia, and at one point, I became so sensitive to sugar that I would start to have vertigo or become nauseous if I ate a single cookie or candy bar. That was many years back, prior to diagnosis, when I was a distance runner, primarily consuming a high-carb, low-fat diet. I now follow a paleo diet and rarely eat any type of sugar or grain. It is nice to make things for my boys, and I like to make the occasional muffin or bread (banana bread, in particular). I tried several packages of several different brands, and all of them cause a slight uptick in my blood sugar levels, but it's nothing like the huge spike that I get from regular sugar. This matches well with the low reported glycemic index numbers (I've seen everything from 18-35, but all are low enough to be useful for me). I prefer the blonde variety as it has more of a brown sugar flavor, and it acts like brown sugar (it's hygroscopic-absorbs water to keep things moist), while the standard varieties have more of a sorghum or molasses flavor. This is also available as coconut nectar from another company, and while this is useful for candy-making, it is difficult to ship in anything larger than a small bottle. Coconut Aminos are also available as a source of trace minerals and amino acids. They make a great alternative to soy or tamari, and it has significantly higher amounts of trace minerals and similar levels of aminos as Bragg's Aminos, which are not wheat- and gluten-free.

Buyer beware: The Measurements and the Product Details section of this listing both state 64 ounces - that is not correct. You will get two bags that are 16 ounces each, for a total of 32 ounces. This listing also states that the price per ounce is $0.27, which is also incorrect. Since you are only getting 32 ounces, the price per ounce is $0.55. Otherwise, it is a quality product.

Have PCOS / prediabetes and I now use in my morning coffee and I genuinely prefer the taste over regular sugar. Just a 1/4 of a teaspoon rounds out the taste of my coffee & milk.

This is the perfect lower-glycemic swap that doesn't taste like 'health food.' It’s rich, caramel-y, and has just the right hint of vanilla. It makes my morning brew feel like a $7 latte from a boutique cafe. If you’re going to be sweet, be coconut-sugar sweet.

Why use white sugar when you can use this , it’s much better all. around and tase soooo good and u don’t have to use a lot to get the same effect.

I was looking for a natural low glycemic sugar substitute. Coconut palm sugar is granulated and has nutritional benefits as well as having a low glycemic index though it has calories but at least constructive ones. After reading the reviews I understood that there would be a slight caramel taste, not just like white sugar. I could live with that since I like coffee with flavored creamer and thought half and half would do instead (thanks to twinmom's review). Since I have been drinking carbonated soda most of my life and it's a tough habit to break, I bought a SodaStream water carbonater and expected to be able to use natural flavoring with the carbonated water. The SodaStream syrups were not what I had hoped for (taste and content). I got the books "The Artesian Workshop" and "Homemade Soda" and have been enjoying and experimenting. I found a recipe for cream soda syrup (in Artesian Workshop) and vanilla syrup (in Homemade Soda) and discovered that the coconut palm sugar with vanilla just fit the bill (I didn't have to find/buy vanilla beans they are already in the sugar). I can now have a cream soda drink that doesn't have all sorts of chemicals. 1 cup water, 1 1/4 cups coconut palm sugar with vanilla. Bring to boil disolving all sugar, let simmer stirring to knock down foam and make into a syrup about 5 min. Let cool and pour into a container that can be refidgerated. This makes about a cup of syrup. Now it can be added to carbonated water to taste. I use a 1 to 7 ratio and add ice. Natural cream soda with minimal guilt. I haven't used this vanilla sugar in coffee yet because I keep making the syrup with it. I really enjoy the taste and expect to continue using the palm sugar with and without vanilla in many other recipes.

I paid a few hundred dollars but only 1 packet arrived. This is rubbish!

Low sugar glycemic index. Fantastic flavour and use far less than sugar and does not compromise taste.

Healthy alternative to traditional sugar

Was great will be using in my coffee. Healthy for you as well.

Low glycemic index Mild flavour Better than brown sugar but not strong flavour
