Madhava Blonde Coconut sugar is an organic, all-natural sweetener produced from the flower buds of the coconut tree. With a mild and sweet flavor, Blonde Coconut Sugar provides a perfect one-to-one replacement to refined white sugar in your favorite recipes and as a sweetener for hot and cold beverages. Nutritionally rich and minimally processed, organic Blonde Coconut Sugar contains important nutrients, is naturally allergen free, and is sustainably produced without the deforestation common to the production of cane and other sugars.

A Nutritious Alternative to Refined Sugars
At 15 calories per one-teaspoon serving, Coconut Sugar has equivalent calories to both refined white sugar (16 calories per one-teaspoon serving) and beet sugar (16 calories per one-teaspoon serving), and significantly fewer calories than high fructose corn syrup (53 calories per one-teaspoon serving). But unlike most other sugars, Coconut Sugar offers a rich nutritional content that includes magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, B vitamins, and amino acids (including glutamine). Coconut Sugar is also naturally free from allergens including gluten, is vegan, GMO-free, and Kosher certified.

A Sustainable Choice
Madhava Organic Blonde Coconut Sugar is sourced from sustainable organic producers in Indonesia. It is an organic, unrefined sweetener that is derived from the nectar of coconut palm tree blossoms, or buds. The nectar is boiled to evaporate the water and the remaining concentrated nectar is crystallized into sugar. Coconut palms produce an average of 50 to 75 percent more sugar per acre than sugar cane and use one-fifth of the natural resources. Coconut Palm trees can produce nectar and fruit for decades, making it a sustainably harvested crop that does not contribute to deforestation. Coconut palms are not genetically modified like the majority of conventional domestic sugar beets are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great alternative to cane sugar., October 11, 2011
This review is from: Madhava Organic Blonde Coconut Sugar, 16-Ounce (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
I wasn't totally sure what to expect when I received my coconut sugar. What I did receive was two bags of sugar, one labeled "blonde". Both sugars were caramel in color with the blonde being a little lighter. The smell and taste was very similar to brown sugar, however the texture was dryer. The granules were not a consistent size as with cane sugar. No "coconut" taste whatsoever.

I wanted to bake with this sugar to see if it was interchangeable with cane sugar. Coconut sugar is supposed to be less calories and have a lower glycemic level compared to cane sugar. As I understand glycemic levels, the lower the level, the easier it is for your body to metabolize, thus not creating that "sugar crash".

To compare to cane sugar, I used a 1:1 ratio as suggested by the company. I ate it raw on cinnamon toast (blonde), and made pancakes (blonde) and Toll House cookies with it (both blonde and regular). For the most part I found it to be completely interchangeable... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars coconut sugar-- finally!, October 12, 2011
This review is from: Madhava Organic Blonde Coconut Sugar, 16-Ounce (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
I am so excited to have a sugar alternative that acts and feels like sugar! And it tastes great too-- not exactly like sugar, but very close. To me it tastes less sweet than sugar right off the spoon, but it definitely works just like sugar 1 to 1 in recipes, as promised. And it is absolutely delicious in coffee!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, October 15, 2011
This review is from: Madhava Organic Blonde Coconut Sugar, 16-Ounce (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
I have really enjoyed using this coconut sugar. I used it when baking oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and the flavor and texture were great. I've tried substituting agave in cookies and the texture suffers so I am pleased to have a healthier sugar alternative. I cannot (and more importantly, the kids cannot) detect any flavor difference. It's worth switching to Madhava!
