Product Description
Sweet Tree is the world’s first certified organic coconut palm sugar. The sweet nectar from the flower blossom of the green coconut palm tree, Coco Nucifera, is collected, boiled and granulated, creating CocoCrystals. Indonesian vanilla pods are added to the nectar as it is simmering, imbuing each Sweet Tree CocoCrystal with the pure delicate flavor of vanilla. Sweet Tree is ‘nature’s perfect sweetener’ – a pure and unrefined evaporated nectar that is a 1:1 replacement for cane sugar. It’s naturally high in nutrients and low on the glycemic index. Big Tree Farms is a socially equitable manager of sustainable supply chains, working directly with over 7,000 farmers and having developed key partnerships with both local nonprofits and International Development programs.
