Zero cholesterol. Zero preservative. Zero additive. ...  Transfat Free ! Gluten Free ! Vegan !
Largely a carbohydrate sucrose complex, similarly present in bee honey, tree fruits, berries, melons, and some root vegetables - beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and onions ... ...  ... with about the same sweetness as refined cane sugar ... yet exquisite in its sweet nutty taste and caramel toasted aroma.
Manila Coco ™ Organic Sweetener - Coconut Sap Sugar
has come of age as “the healthier sweetener”  for the  “enlightened consumer” in all of us.
Manila Coco ™ Organic Sweetener
Origin and Process
Manila VirginSap Process.
It begins with select mature mountain-fresh coconut sap or toddy, tapped from tender unopened inflorescence (spadix) or flower blossoms. This raw nectar, oyster-white-translucent liquid, gathered tree-top in wee hours of early mornings, and afternoons, is then pan-boiled …
... the resulting syrup is slowly thickened, enough to protect its phyto-nutrients, and caramelized in a Maillard reaction, similar to that of maple syrup, then cooled down into amber soft granules, all within 6 hours … while still  insisting on our generational family proprietary recipe
(manila virginsap)
… yet employing hygienic artisanal Good Manufacturing Practices. ... ...
... to best capture its organic essential amino acid, glutamic acid, vitamins, and other phyto-nutrients (potassium, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, etc.), and finally sieved into coarse granules  in its purest traditional form.
Sustainable Supply
. Our coconut trees yield on the average about 2 liters of sap daily from dedicated non-fruit bearing trees. So, with the Philippines holding 345 million coconut sap and fruit producing trees, and planting ... sap supply is evidently sustainable.
Coconut Sap Sugar – Closer to "Fruit and Vegetable Sugars" than Cane
Coconut Sap Sugar - More than Just Sucrose.
The table below shows the sugar components of commercial sugars. Refined cane sugar is almost all sucrose. While coconut sap sugar and maple syrup also contain natural occurring  other sugars, as fructose and glucose. Together, these 3 simple sugars comprise the most important sugar complex, more common in fruits and vegetables.

Natural-Occurring Coconut Sap Sugars  - NOT Engineered  as High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is
Granulated refined cane sugar, refined brown sugar, maple syrup and coconut sap sugar contain much higher concentrations of natural-occurring sucrose. In contrast, HFCS – high fructose corn syrup has zero (0) sucrose due to its abundance of chemically-engineered fructose and glucose.

Manufactured HFCS - Very Sweet.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) has simply replaced sucrose-based sugars in commercial manufacturing because it is less costly. Through enzymatic treatment, the natural glucose in corn is converted into synthesized fructose, which results in the highest concentration of sweetness.
Too Much Sweet Foods - Very Bad.
Among the many unwanted consequences of this big shift from natural sucrose sugars to engineered HFCS, in increasingly numerous clinical studies, is the excessive use of fructose that leads to bloating, loose stools, and even diarrhea. Likewise, excess fructose consumption is thought to be a contributing cause of insulin resistance, obesity, elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, leading to metabolic syndrome, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The British Medical Journal has linked high fructose consumption to gout, an inflammatory disease.

Manila Coco ™
Organic Sweetener
100% Natural Coconut Sap Sugar
carries just the right amount of balanced sweetness as nature intended it to be !
Palm or Date Palm Sugar - NOT THE SAME as Coconut Sap Sugar
In origin, form, and processing, these are two different sugars.
Palm sugar is made from the sugary sap of the Palmyra Palm or the Date Palm.  While coconut sap sugar comes from the sweet sap of coconut fruit tree - cocos nucifera.
Palm sugar is a golden brown paste, sold in tubes, blocks or tin cans. It may be light-colored or dark, soft and gooey.
Whereas, coconut sap sugar is in amber soft granules or fine powder.
While both names, up until now, are used interchangeably, its the
manila virginsap process advantage
that makes a whole lot of difference.
Artificial Sweeteners - NOT NATURAL, No Long Term Study on Safety
Synthetically manufactured or artificial sweeteners are many times sweeter, thus, are least costly. Yet, the jury is still out on its long-term effects on the health and well – being of consumers.  The cumulative effect on users have not been fully researched and validated over broader and longer term studies. This debate continues as much as the spiraling cost of health care.
A new study from Duke University raises safety issues on a particular brand of chlorinated artificial sweetener. Some brands are not allowed legally to be called sugar or sweetener, nor as functional food, but only as a dietary supplement.
Better safe than sorry !
Natural functional food - coconut sap sugar is safe. Safe is better, no cause for worry.

Proven Health Benefits of Coconut Sap Sugar
Original Homeopathy –
In folk medicine, coconut sap sugar  is used to liquefy phlegm from the lungs, and profusely for sore throat when dissolved in boiled concentrated milk. Musicians use it in combination with other medicinal spices and herbs.
Modern Day Science –
Foods Measured in Glycemic Index (GI)
High GI Foods.
Honey, white rice, French bread release their energy quickly - they are called "high glycemic  index (GI) food".  If you are in for a day of hard, strenuous activities you need such high GI foods to sustain you for long hours. However, if you do light work load you only need low GI food - such as cereals, oats, brown rice and carrots.
When you eat High GI Food but do little or no physical activity, the invert sugars from carbohydrates are stored as fats. Your pancreas produces an enzyme called Insulin to regulate the amount of blood sugar. If you keep on eating High GI Food, you need more insulin. The same thing happens when you drink too much alcohol too often. Because these are quick energy foods, they cause your blood sugar to rise rapidly, triggering the release of insulin.
Consuming too much sugar can cause the
the islets of Langerhans
in the pancreas to fail to produce insulin. Failure to produce insulin leads to diabetes. To avoid diabetes dis-ease, we need to balance our diet with lots of regular physical exercise, and maybe supplementation.
Low GI Food @ 35 – Coconut Sap Sugar.
The key to managing blood sugar, particularly for Diabetics, is the moderate consumption of foods, specially with high GI foods. Coconut sap sugar is a low GI food. It assures you of the slow and steady release of sugar in the blood stream, avoiding blood sugar spikes – no rapid highs, no rapid lows. ... Go slow on High GI Foods ... Get on with Low GI Foods !
Coconut sap sugar has been clinically tested with a low GI Index rating of only 35 from a scale of 100 by the Philippine Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), confirming that long-held belief that ...

Usage and Applications
One (1) 5 gram tablespoons of Manila Coco Organic Sweetener – coconut sap sugar is recommended equivalent to one (1) 5 gram tablespoon of conventional refined cane sugar to attain the same sweetness ... despite the fact that sweet taste buds vary by individual.
Though, many users would insist that 1:1 ratio is  "just right sweetness". But, even if you opt for an added half tablespoon load on coco sugar, it would still net out to at least 50% of the equivalent cane sugar GI rating. ...
... since the GI rating of refined cane sugar is over 100% of  that of coconut sap sugar (68 to 80 versus 35) ... you can go ahead for more of the healthier goodness ... a little indulgence without worry or guilt !!!
Use Manila Coco [tm] Sap Sugar in lieu of your ordinary sugar for beverages - coffee, tea, dairy, juices/smoothies ... its soft granules dissolve quickly ... it even melts in your mouth !
As all-purpose sweetener, it suits well in cooking – baking and other epicurean delights. Infuse in marinades, barbecue sauces or glaze on meat/poultry/vegetables. Sprinkle it over cereals, hot bread, toast, waffles, or pancakes. Top it even on popcorns, maybe on sour fruits - for an ultimate unique treat!
