One has to wonder if they actually conducted testing for their syrup? Or are they just citing that same 35 number that has been floating around for ages?

Although coconut sap doesn't take as long to heat process as cane sugar or other natural sweeteners, most commercial coconut nectar syrups these days appear to use high temperatures during this reduction phase. Therefore, coconut nectar can't really be considered a "raw food" for those adhering to a strict raw vegan diet regimen.a b "Coconut palm sugar". American Diabetes Association. 2015.

Like with coconut nectar, it is boiled up to evaporate off the water. The syrup is what remains. It turns out, there are many things you can make from the coconut palm, not just coconut products like coconut oil. The sap is also fermented to make coconut aminos (a soy sauce replacement) and coconut vinegar. Coconut sugar is actually the dehydrated and crystallized version of the coconut nectar taken one step further. The glycemic index (GI) of coconut sugar was reported by the Philippine Coconut Authority to be 35 and by that measure is classified as a low glycemic index food. [10] However, the University of Sydney ( Australia) Glycemic Index Research Service measured the GI of coconut sugar to be 54, [11] and considers any GI over 55 to be high.

For many of us, we care about the provenance of our food and want to make choices that don’t unduly damage the environment or global communities. Now let’s consider coconut nectar.

Unfortunately, much that we’d love to be able to say a sweet stuff is ‘healthy’, coconut nectar is still a sugar product, and sugar isn’t exactly a health food. However, it is healthier than many alternatives. All sugars raise your blood sugar to some degree, which is a fundamental thing we want to avoid too regularly. However you can’t pigeonhole these sweet molecules into “bad for you” and “good for you” categories. There are pros and cons for each. One isn’t necessarily better than the other. The key is to consume sugars seldom and in small amounts, regardless of type. As such, it is unlikely that you would be able to consume enough coconut nectar to actually gain any benefits. Coconut aminos can be used in a variety of ways! Try it out in different marinades, dressings, and stir-fries.
