Coconut palm sugar (also known as coconut sugar) is a natural sweetener derived from the sap of the coconut palm tree (coconut tree). How is it made? Through boiling. The process is similar to making jaggery, which is a Concentrated Fruit Juice. Concentrated Fruit Juices are discouraged in Whole Food Plant-Based guidelines because they have high calorie density; they get classified as Added Sugars by organizations like CDC and AHA (American Heart Association).
