Palm & amp; Coconut sugar

Health Services:

The health benefits of using this unrefined sugar, just started to make themselves known. The largest benenfit is so far from its low glycemic index (35), which means they are not the effect of doping blood sugar ("sugar high"), makes the refined sugar regularly. Are thus similar to Agave better, except as far as they contain large amounts of fructose. In India, palm sugar is actually used (in the form of palm sugar candy) in traditional medicine, as it contains many minerals and has been found to cure infections of the throat and lungs.

These sugars: The shape of the fondant is easy to use (like honey) - they fit like any normal sugar dessert that could do (taste test that you make sure you added enough).

The cake topper so difficult (photo) is more difficult to use. You can crush or turn it into a powder-like brown sugar (see my second image), or can be melted with a little water in a pan to produce a syrupy liquid.

The resulting taste is like a caramel flavor of brown sugar, but lighter, with no aftertaste (I personally prefer coconut sugar or other sugar substitute low glycemic for this reason).

In Thailand, you can find fresh Palm roads and sold in market stalls (the Thais call "palm of water") can. If you are in Thailand, try it - it's delicious.
