Description
Hey sweet tooth enthusiasts! We all experience that irresistible urge for something sweet from time to time. It’s like a mini celebration in our mouths that brings us into the present moment, wide-eyed and appreciative of life. But wait a second, not all sweet treats are made equal. Our diets have been infiltrated by these sneaky troublemakers known as Refined Sugars and their many disguises.
Now, here’s the scoop: the issue isn’t necessarily with sweetness itself, but rather how it’s been tampered with. Refined sugars have been stripped of their natural goodness, turning them into express lanes straight to our bloodstream, leading to a host of health concerns.
Unrefined sugars haven’t been through that questionable refining process, so they still retain their natural nutrients, minerals, and fibers. And because they’re in their pure state, they take their time to work their way into your system.
These slow movers belong to the Low Glycemic Index (or Low GI) family of unrefined sweeteners. Enter: Coconut Sugar.
Coconut sugar is rapidly gaining popularity as a natural sweetener. On one hand, the world is embracing all things coconut. On the other, this sugar is incredibly versatile and can replace nearly all refined granulated sugars.
Goodfolks Organic Coconut Sugar from Sri Lanka is soft, light in colour and has a gorgeous mild caramel flavour. Making this perfect for everyday use as well as more gourmet preparations where finesse is needed.
How it's made
Goodfolks Organic Coconut Sugar is meticulously crafted from the sap of the coconut flower. This process begins by delicately tapping the flower buds of the coconut palm, carefully collecting the sap, and then gently heating it to create the sugar.
During the heating process, the sap gradually crystallizes and thickens, forming a rich mixture. To ensure a perfect consistency and avoid any burning, the mixture is continuously stirred, allowing for even caramelization of the sugars.
Once the ideal balance of consistency and color is achieved, the coconut sugar mixture is carefully removed from the heat and left to cool and solidify. The resulting product takes shape into blocks, which are then expertly broken down into smaller granules or ground into finer sugar crystals.
Given the unique approach taken by each manufacturer – varying factors such as heating duration and caramelization levels – coconut sugar from different sources, regions, and countries can boast distinct tastes, colors, and textures. Goodfolks Coconut Sugar stands out with its soft, light brown hue and delightful caramel notes.
Our commitment to quality extends beyond taste and texture. Goodfolks natural coconut sugar is sourced from sustainable and organic plantations, ensuring that every spoonful embodies the goodness of nature while supporting environmentally friendly practices.
