Also known as coconut palm sugar or coconut blossom sugar, coconut sugar is made from the sustainably harvested sap of freshly cut flower buds of coconut palm trees. It has been used as a traditional sweetener for thousands of years in South and Southeast Asia. With a slight hint of caramel, its flavor and texture are similar to that of brown sugar. It can be substituted cup for cup for sugar in any recipe. Works great for cookies, sweet breads, and sauces.
