Pure Coconut Sugar

Matakana Superfoods PURE COCONUT SUGAR

• Vitamins & Minerals
• Low GI
• Electrolytes

Our Pure Organic Coconut Sugar is minimally processed which means that it retains a large quantity of nutrients compared to other more refined sugars which are nutritionally void. Pure coconut sugar contains nature’s vitamins, minerals, amino acids and electrolytes – everything you need to grow a perfect coconut. Although coconut sugar still technically contains a percentage of base sugars sucrose, glucose and fructose, its inulin fibre content and other micronutrients make it act more like an intrinsic sugar (such as that which occurs naturally in a piece of fruit) and therefore has a low GI score of around 35. We consider coconut sugar to be one of the healthiest sugar options available.

Sports Performance/Electrolyte Content
Our Pure Ogranic Coconut Sugar is a rich source of electrolytes readily available to re-energize your body when it is under the stress of intense competition. Recharge with convenient coconut sugar sachets and a glass of water at half-time to rehydrate and boost energy levels naturally without the unwanted artificial colourings, additives and poor-performing refined sugars found in most commercial sports drinks.

Low GI Rating
Coconut sugar is naturally low on the Glycemic Index (GI), and along with a balanced diet, calorie control and exercise, has benefits for weight control and improving glucose and lipid levels in people with diabetes. Coconut sugar has a GI rating of around 35. By comparison agave has a GI of 42, honey 55 and cane sugars 68. The major component of coconut sugar is sucrose (70-79%) followed by glucose and fructose (3-9%) each. Minor batch to batch variations will occur, due to differences in primary processing, raw material source, tree age and variety of coconut.
