***BEING CERTIFIED ORGANIC IS NOT ASSURANCE THAT YOU GET 100% NATURAL AND PURE!
- Do you know that even not 100% natural or not pure coconut sugar can be Organic Certified?
- Do you know that even with preservatives or additives coconut sugar can also be Organic Certified?
- Do you know that even adulterated coconut sugar that mixed with sugar cane or mascuvado with high glycemic index and other type of sweetener can also be still Organic Certified?
- Do you know that even poor quality coconut sugar can be Certified Organic?
Certified Organic has categories ex; 100% Natural Certified Organic, Certified Organic, 98% Certified Organic and with Certified Organic Ingredients. However, most of the time there are wearing same logo of Certified Organic. Hoping that the categories are always declared for consumers awareness.
Certified Organic or not, just avoid Coconut Sugar with darker color, high moisture content, with off taste including with sour taste and odor. Coconut Sugar with darker color is probably over cook and has burned nutrients. Darker color coconut sugar is also indication that it might be mixed with mascuvado sugar cane that contributes diabetes. High moisture coconut sugar still oxidizes and become darker color and also develop and multiplies millions or billions of bacteria where coconut sugar become sour taste and odor. Coconut sugar with high moisture content is not free flowing granules instead the granules are stick together and formed small rocks.
***COCONUT SUGAR ADDED WITH ANTI-FERMENATION AGENT – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE!
Anti-fermentation agent made of lime, calcium hydroxide or sodium metabisulfite are openly and traditionally use by most coconut sugar producing countries. Adding Anti-fermentation agent is use as customarily use by coconut sugar processor if they will harvest the coconut sap every 12 hours like every 6:00 AM and 6:00PM. The advantages of using of anti-fermentation agents is they are able to used taller coconut trees at lower labor cost where they are able to sell coconut sugar at lower their price.
Coconut Sap that harvested in every 12 hours need to add plenty amount of Anti-fermentation agent where you feel some undesirable off taste. It also needs to cook longer time at higher temperature to be able to granules but become over cooked which affect the nutrients and has burned taste or bitter after taste with dark color. In addition, coconut sugar with Anti-Fermentation agent is difficult to dry and has lot of moisture where bacteria has speedy growth in millions and become sour taste and sour odor within very short period of time. Other coconut sugar with anti-fermentation agent is also formed in blocks or in any other shape since it is difficult to granules due to high moisture content. Well dried coconut sugar the granules are free flowing separately and not stick to each other. We use coconut sugar and sometimes pay high amount because of its health benefits, however some coconut sugar with anti-fermentation agents and lot of bacterial only contributes us health problems.
***COCONUT SUGAR MIXED WITH MASCUVADO SUGAR CANE – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.
Mascuvado is made of sugar cane that process in natural way in compare to other brown and white refined sugar cane. Although mascuvado considered as a chemical free sugar cane but till the causes why there are many diabetics now. Some coconut sugars are mixed with mascuvado sugar in order to lessen the price and to be more price competitive in the market. Coconut Sugar that mixed with mascuvado has lower taste of coconut, instead taste more like of mascuvado sugar, not uniformed color, has darker in color and dirty looking. The culprit here is not only the coconut sugar producers but most of the time the dealer or re-packer itself.
