Coconut sugar is a natural sugar made from coconut palm sap, which is the sugary circulating fluid of the coconut plant. It is worth noting that this sugar isn't a nutritional super-food, but it does offer more vitamins and minerals than white table sugar. Besides, the relatively good thing about it is the fact that it retains quite a bit of the nutrients found in the coconut palm. Most notable of these are the minerals iron, zinc, calcium and potassium, along with polyphenols and antioxidants.
