Source and Processing

Navitas Naturals Palm Sugar is made from the sun-kissed sweet juice of the tropical coconut palm sugar blossoms. Once the nectar is collected, it is kettle-boiled into a thick caramel, dried, and ground into a fine crystalized powder. Navitas Naturals Palm Sugar is 100% organic, vegan, kosher, gluten-free, and sustainably-grown.

Sustainable Sugar

The coconut palm tree has long been used and appreciated for its edible resources by tropical communities. Among the most delicious parts of this plant is its sugar: the crystallized nectar of the coconut palm flowers, known as palm sugar. More than just lending a sweet taste, this sweetener is also extremely ecologically friendly: coconut palms produce an average of 50%-75% more sugar per acre than sugar cane, while using only a fifth of the resources. It is no wonder that the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has recognized palm sweeteners as the single most sustainable sweetener in the world.
