Palm Sugar

Seriously, it has a GI of 35

closely followed by:

agave - 42

then:
honey- 55
cane sugar- 68 (that's white sugar for those playing at home)
LoGi cane sugar- 50 (it's coated in a starch that's hard to digest so in theory takes longer- only if you don't melt or crush it first, which, no one does!)

What's more, is that it has 458% less kjs!!!! AMAZING!

100g of white sugar will set you back 1700kj while palm will only set you back 371. Seriously...cool stuff! (so says the back of hte packs, according to google this may be very incorrect and there is only slight caloric differences but definitely a big difference in low GI.)


What's the catch? And there is one. It comes in block form so you have to break, grate or dissolve it first.

It comes from the date palm sap....so that means: its Vegan! Sold yet?


It's tastes really good too, very similar to brown sugar mixed with white but without that metallic aftertaste you get from brown sugar!


I'm going to use it because it's way less refined, fun to great (makes me feel closer to nature somehow!), and tastes good too!
