Coconut Sugar
Coconut sugar is a dry brown sweetener made from coconut palm sap. It has a toasty caramel flavor and is usually used like granulated sugar in small-batch baking.
Identity
Caramel-like dry sugar
Use it where a deeper brown-sugar note works.
Coconut sugar sweetens and browns, but its flavor is darker than white sugar. It works well in crumb toppings and baked goods where a caramel note is welcome.
