Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Coconut Sugar
Metabolic Effect: It has a lower glycemic index than table sugar, but still raises blood sugar. The fiber content is low.
Consumption Recommendation: It can be used as a sweetener, but should not be overdone. Consuming it with cinnamon or fibrous foods can balance blood sugar.
Things to Consider: Diabetics and those who want to lose weight should consume it carefully. 1 teaspoon (about 5 grams) may be sufficient.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of coconut sugar, you need to walk at a brisk pace for about 70 minutes.
