Origin and manufacture

Coconut sugar is made from the nectar of coconut flowers. The nectar is collected from palm trees of at least 5 years of age. The nectar is very sensitive and ferments in a few hours.  To prevent contamination, the nectar is first filtered. Secondly, according to an ancient tradition, it is heated and thickened, until it becomes a thick syrup. It is then cooled an then ground into crystals.  Gourmet Kulau sugar is not refined. A farmer produces about 2 kg of sugar per day.

Nutritional Values
