Coconut Blossom Nectar is being described as the “new agave” and is higher in nutrients, lower in fructose and is also lower on the glycemic index compared to agave.

Agave has taken the health food world by storm over the past few years and has been described as a healthy, natural, low glycemic sweetener that is helpful for those with blood sugar issues.

However, recent research has shown that agave nectar may be nothing more than another highly processed sweetener with very little nutrient value when compared to the new natural sugar alternative to hit the market, Coconut Blossom Nectar.

With all the hype around Coconut Blossom Nectar and its benefits, we think this sweet syrup certainly deserves a spot in your cupboard when you’re wanting to replace sugar in your diet.

Coconut Blossom Nectar comes from the sap of the flowers from the coconut tree and contains 17 amino acids in trace amounts, as well as trace minerals such as magnesium, potassium, zinc and small amounts of vitamins B and C.

In comparison to brown sugar, Coconut Blossom Nectar contains more iron, magnesium and zinc.

Due to its low heating process compared to other sugar alternatives, Coconut Blossom Nectar can retain its nutrients and vitamins thus making it a smarter and healthier choice for the health conscious individual.

With all the benefits of Coconut Blossom Nectar, it is easy to see why it is the sugar alternative of choice. However, one should still be mindful when it comes to consuming sugar as no matter how natural the sugar is it does affect your blood sugar levels, especially if eaten in excess. Blood sugar levels are affected by a combination of foods so it is the whole meal that matters.

When trying to balance your blood sugar levels we recommend using Coconut Blossom Nectar in moderation with your breakfast, smoothies, snacks and treats. We also suggest sourcing good quality Coconut Blossom Nectar so that you can benefit from the nutrients and vitamins available from this sweet syrupy goodness.
