N&Z Coconut Blossom Sugar – a natural sweetener with depth
Coconut blossom sugar is made from the nectar of coconut palm flowers. The nectar is collected, gently evaporated at low temperatures, and crystallised with minimal processing. This careful method preserves naturally occurring minerals – including potassium, magnesium, and iron – that are completely absent in refined white sugar.
Low glycaemic index
With a glycaemic index of approximately 35 (compared to white sugar's 65), coconut blossom sugar causes a slower and more gradual rise in blood sugar levels. As with any sweetener, moderation is key – but the lower GI makes it a popular choice among health-conscious consumers.
Rich, caramel-like flavour
N&Z Coconut Blossom Sugar has a naturally warm, caramel-like taste with subtle molasses notes. It is sweeter in character than plain white sugar, adding depth to baked goods, hot drinks, and desserts without overpowering other flavours.
How to use it
- Replace white sugar 1:1 in cakes, cookies, muffins, and bread
- Stir into coffee or tea as a natural sweetener
- Add to smoothies, yoghurt, or granola
- Use in sauces, marinades, or dressings that benefit from a caramel base
The 1 kg size is perfect for regular home baking or for households that want to make a lasting switch to a more natural sweetener.
