Cocos nucifera
Coconut nectar is a natural sweetener collected from the nectar of coconut palm flowers. The sweet nectar is tapped by slicing the end of the matured flower bud and a cup will be placed beneath the bud to collect the dripping sap (or known as blossom nectar or “toddy”). The juice of pure blossom (sometimes called neera) is traditionally consumed fresh or is fermented into “palm wine” or “coconut vodka”.
To make coconut nectar, the watery “toddy” undergone evaporation at low temperatures to form a thick-texture syrup.
Coconut nectar is claimed to be low in glycemic index as compared to other sweeteners and it is packed with wide range of nutrients, including magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, vitamin C, broad spectrum vitamin B and 17 different amino acids.
