What Is Coconut Sugar?

Coconut palm sugar is a natural, high-energy food source made by collecting sweet sap from the flowering stem, called an inflorescence, at the top of the coconut tree. The inflorescence is carefully clipped and bent into a bamboo container for collection.

Twice a day, these trees are climbed, and bamboo containers are switched out. It is usually the men and sons who do this, and to watch them climb the trees is incredible!

The collected sap is transported into a kitchen, where it's brought to a light simmer to concentrate the coconut sugars. Once crystals begin to form, the solution is removed from the heat, and crystallization of the entire basin occurs rapidly.

Bulk Coconut Sugar, From Family Farms to Your Home

The women in the kitchen grind the crystals while they are still moist to break them into very small grains. These grains are packaged into 10 kg bags and transported to the Quality Control Center.

Over 700 families who make this coconut sugar bring their products here, where it is further dried and tested for moisture content, particle size, and microbes. Ocean-going containers arrive and are filled with organic coconut sugar bound for America.
