Wholesome Sweetners, Coconut Sugar, 1 lb

"Unrefined" is an understatement when it comes to this product, which I tried twice. After the first bag was returned due to impurities, the seller was gracious enough to send a replacement. The flavor was good, with a deep caramel flavor and a slightly burned aftertaste; however, the degree of impurities was a problem for me. I had to spit out small pieces of god-knows-what with each cup of coffee. knows- The final straw was when I began to notice small 1/8 to 1/4" hairs coming from my mouth, which was unpleasant to say the least. br>The final straw was when I began to notice small 1/8 to 1/4" hairs coming from my mouth, which was unpleasant to say the least. I'm not sure where they came from, but they were certainly not human. I threw the rest of the product away, and I would strongly advise you to avoid this brand. br>The good news is that I have since tried another brand from Amazon, which is fantastic and much more refined.

This sweetener's low glycemic index makes it ideal for cooking for members of my family who have sugar sensitivities or who are diabetic. patients with diabetes It has the lowest glycemic index of any natural sugar I've come across. According to new research, insulin reactions are triggered by the taste of sweetness, which explains why people have insulin reactions to sugar substitutes that have zero carbs. Serious blood sugar fluctuations occur when there are no carbs in the body to be processed and insulin has already been produced. I've found that when I bake and cook with this product, my Type II diabetic family members don't experience blood sugar spikes or drops. For baking, I use 1/3 to 2/3 of the sugar called for in a recipe, replacing both refined cane sugar and brown sugar. If you have Type II Diabetes, I'd recommend experimenting with your blood glucose meter before determining how much of this product to use in a recipe to replace sugar, but I'd replace both types of sugar. It has a nutty flavor that might clash with citrus-flavored baked goods.

I'm still on the lookout for a sugar substitute after trying this. When you lick your finger, it tastes good (and there's no aftertaste). It tastes like it's been malted. In my coffee, however, it isn't as good. This isn't going to be a good substitute for white granulated sugar. Brown sugar, however, is a possibility. This stuff isn't quite as sweet as white sugar, and it can't be used in place of it. for- one devoted to white sugar It has a low cost. However, as a type II diabetic, I must keep an eye on my glycemic (35) levels. So, while it's good, it's not quite what I was looking for in my morning coffee. It's also quite costly. Approximately ten times the amount of white sugar - if the cost of shipping is factored in. I'll use it up, but I won't buy it again because it works well in some of my baking recipes. It will also rot your teeth in the same way that regular sugar does. And I've noticed that my local Whole Foods carries it, and because of the shipping fee, it's less expensive than ordering it from Amazon. So, if I were to purchase it again, I would go to Whole Foods.

a delicious alternative! As a coffee/tea sweetener, I am completely dependent on Splenda/Sucralose. Of course, I'd prefer not to "need" sweetener, but for now, all I'm looking for is a natural alternative. The main reason I prefer sucralose is that it dissolves so quickly that I don't even have to stir my drink! In fact, I like how "patchy" it is and how unexpected its sweetness is. As a result, I've been on the lookout for a natural sweetener that dissolves quickly and doesn't require stirring. As an aside: I am one of those people who despises the sweetener stevia. To me, it tastes extremely bitter. Although I had to stir it briefly (since they don't seem to be making this in convenient packets yet), this coconut palm sugar dissolved fairly well, and the taste was PRETTY close to my usual sucralose in sweetness. I'll have to play around a bit to find the right number of spoons/scoops for my drinks (I prefer one sucralose packet in tea and two in coffee), but it appears to be a viable alternative to sucralose. I've added this to my monthly subscriptions, and I also saw the product for sale in my local grocery store for twice the price of the regular Amazon purchase price! Worth a try if you're looking for a natural sweetener!.

I used it in my coffee, desserts, cooking, yogurt, and anything else where sugar was required! My husband and son are on a sugar-restricted diet, so I used this in their coffee and breakfast, and they tolerated the coconut sugar well and enjoyed the flavor. Be aware that this product will make your food "darker. " Consider the following scenario. If you use this sugar in place of brown sugar in a cake, it will turn slightly brownish but have a great taste; it is sweeter than brown sugar and has a slight coconut flavor, in my opinion. I order two of these every month through Subscribe & Save. It is highly recommended that you save.
