Nutritional Outlook

American Key Food Products now offers Suchero coconut palm sugar, a low-glycemic sugar with multiple applications. At a glycemic index of 35, Suchero classifies as a low-glycemic sugar, giving it potential for use in products marketed to diabetics. The certified organic sugar is light brown in color, mildly nutty in taste, and available for use in baked goods, energy bars, beverages, and tabletop sweeteners. The company says its non-chemical processing retains coconut palm sugar’s vitamins, minerals, and 16 amino acids.
