Hello Friends,

I've noticed a new item on the raw food shelves at the health food store lately, a low glycemic, coconut sweetener/sugar. I wonder if anyone out there has tried it or has any feedback about it? I'd love to hear your thoughts...Could this the new agave? :)

    Just found Coconut Secret (brand) Raw Coconut Crystals The process used in making it according to the label is"Low temperature vacuum evaporated" yielding a raw, enzymatically alive product. Tastes like brown sugar - is deeeeeelicious. I got it at my health food store and am looking for it online :^)

    I also use Coconut Secret's crystals and nectar. Both are very good and are raw. I also get my coconut sugar from Ultimate Superfoods. Their brand is raw as well. The sugar reminds me of brown sugar too and works well in some sweet recipes but not all. The nectar has a distinct flavor that grows on you over time:)
