Coco Natura Organic Coconut Sugar
Coco Natura Sugar is derived from the fresh sap of the coconut tree’s flowers (not the tree trunk, like coconut palm sugar). This traditional process creates a nutritious organic sugar that is delicious in coffee, tea, and other beverages. Its subtle caramel taste is also perfect for cooking and baking. Use Coconut Sugar any way you would use other granulated sugars, on a 1:1 basis.

Some Examples of the Glycemic Index of Foods:
| Classification | GI range | Examples |
| Low GI | 55 or less | most fruits and vegetables (except potatoes and watermelon), grainy breads, pasta, legumes/pulses, milk, yogurt, products extremely low in carbohydrates (some cheeses, nuts), fructose, cane sugar |
| Medium GI | 56–69 | whole wheat products, basmati rice, sweet potato, table sugar |
| High GI | 70 and above | corn flakes, rice Krispie's, baked potatoes, watermelon, croissants, white bread, extruded breakfast cereals, most white rice's (e.g. jasmine), straight glucose (100) |
