The Health Benefits of Coconut Sugar

As more and more people become conscious of the need to eat healthier, they are on the lookout for ways to reduce their intake of refined sugars. One great way to do this is by substituting coconut sugar for white or brown sugar in recipes. Not only does coconut sugar have a lower glycemic impact than refined sugars, but it also contains vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are beneficial to our health. Some of the health benefits associated with coconut sugar include:

Lower Glycemic Impact: Because coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than refined sugars, it is absorbed more slowly into the bloodstream and does not cause spikes in blood sugar levels. This makes it an ideal sweetener for people with diabetes or other conditions that require them to maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Vitamins and Minerals: Unlike refined sugars which are stripped of all nutritional value during processing, coconut sugar retains some of the vitamins and minerals found in coconuts, including iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium (no significant amounts).

Amino Acids: Coconut sugar also contains small amounts of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. Amino acids play an important role in many bodily functions, including muscle growth and repair, immune system function, and digestion.

If you're looking for a healthy alternative to refined sugar, look no further than NOW Real Food® Coconut Sugar! This minimally processed natural sugar has a host of health benefits that make it a great choice for baking and cooking. So next time you're reaching for the white sugar, why not try something new and give coconut sugar a try? Your taste buds - and your body - will thank you!

Suggested Usage: NOW Real Food® Coconut Sugar can be substituted 1:1 for table sugar in recipes.
