That’s interesting … why coconut sugar?
I think coconut sugar is pretty amazing stuff. I’ve been looking for healthier alternatives for refined-white-sugar (which we all know is really bad for you!) Coconut sugar is not a refined sugar (meaning all the good vitamins and minerals are left in) and it has a lower Glycemic Index (less impact on blood sugar levels) than regular sugar. The best part is that you can use it 1:1 for regular sugar in baking and it makes the most divine carmel sauce (look around my blog I use coconut sugar very often!!)
Interesting!! I haven’t see it anywhere here yet but I’ll keep my eye out!
I’m in southwestern rural Pennsylvania – I’ve seen it at our local Giant Eagle and Kroger (chain supermarkets) It’s either in your organic section or with the Thai cooking supplies.. I typically buy mine from Amazon since the price is lower. Let me know if you get some – I think the flavor is so good. Its really good in coffee too!
I’m in Arctic Canada … selections are limited sometimes 🙁
I guess ordering online will be your best option 🙂 I love amazon and if your amazon prime you get free 2 day shipping on so many things. It saves us so much money. and They have subscribe and save which saves even more!
