Market Opportunity
Coconut palm sugar represents a tremendous new opportunity for innovation in product formulation that syncs with current trends towards health and quality of diet. Cane sugar alternatives are gaining traction rapidly as packaged food and supplement manufacturers move towards the use of these items in new product offerings.
Sweet Tree Coconut Palm Sugar can be used as a 1:1 replacement to cane sugar in most applications. It has a very low melt temperature with an extremely high burn temperature, making it perfect for confectionery uses.
It also dissolves in liquids and wet dough without residue because it is derived from nectar, as opposed to a crystal particulate like cane sugar.
Diabetes continues to soar in the U.S. and elsewhere, with no signs of slowing down. By the CDC’s latest count nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes (7% of the U.S. population). More than 6 million of those people don’t know they have diabetes. (These numbers represent an increase of 2.6 million people with diabetes since 2002.) These conditions however can be managed. People with type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes can be treated with lifestyle change (such as eating habits and exercise) and/or medications. Due to its Low GI rating and high nutrient content, palm sugar fits the bill as an exceptionally unique lifestyle ingredient that is perfectly in sync with the demands of the market.
Coconut Palm Sugar is the only low glycemic sweetener on the market today, which truly delivers on all aspects of health, transparent equity, traceability and environmental sustainability.
We at Sweet Tree Sustainable Sweeteners are very excited to be offering this amazing product to the global market. Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn about Sweet Tree Organic Coconut Sugar.
* Please note that some palm sugar on the market is also mixed with cane sugar and other malt-based ingredients… which isn’t a bad thing if you don’t mind. These tend to be the white blobs you buy in Asian Markets. SweetTree is PURE coconut palm sugar. No cane sugar added. No chemical inputs. Just pure, unadulterated palm sugar made from 100% coconut nectar from Coco Nucifera.
