What our nutritionist says
Even Though coconut sugar contains some nutrients, they are not enough to satisfy your nutritional needs. Consuming too much can lead to harmful effects, as coconut sugar has the same effects on your body as any other sugar. Therefore, it is recommended to consume in moderation and stick to the serving size.
FAQ
1. What does it taste like? Does it have a coconut aroma?
Coconut sugar tastes similarly to brown sugar but with a hint of caramel. It does not have a coconut aroma or taste. Therefore, you can use it just like how you would use white sugar.
Mommy’s Corner
It is not recommended to give babies sugar below 12 months of age. Introducing sugar or sweeteners too early may lead to problems such as tooth decay, hyperactivity, and obesity.
