Description
Coconut Syrup (also known as treacle) is an all natural sweetener derived from the coconut palm tree. It is in fact made from the sap of the coconut palm flower. sharp incisions made in the flower lead to a constant trickle of sweet nectar which is collected and boiled to bring it to this sticky sweet consistency.
Coconut treacle is a versatile all natural sweetener. It is not only Vegan and Gluten-free but also has a low GI Score which makes it ideal for those who are concerned about blood sugar. ‘It can be used in place of almost any syrup. Its earthy flavours and sultry effect adds a definite tropical buzz. Goodfolks coconut treacle is a 100% coconut product.
Contains no preservatives, colours or flavouring.
Manufacturing Process
Goodfolks natural coconut Treacle is sourced from sustainable and organic plantations. The extraction process is standard and traditional (the coconut palm flower is tapped by men who climb the tall trees and collect the sap overtime). But because these are done on plantations and not in the wild (in the case of Kithul treacle) the manufacturing process is standardised and this has enabled the product to be USDA Organic certified, EU organic certified and have the FSSC 22000 certification.
