Coconut sugar, also known as coconut palm sugar, comes from the sap of coconut tree blossoms. It's collected by tapping the flower buds, extracting nectar, and then evaporating the sap to create granular sugar. While touted as a healthier option, it still contains sugar (mainly sucrose) and calories, so it should be consumed wisely. For those wanting natural sweeteners, coconut sugar could be a good choice, especially if you enjoy its flavor and want an alternative to refined sugar.
