Organic Coconut Sugar Tastes like cane sugar with a hint of flowers and caramel. Coconut palm sugar has nothing to do with Palm oil or the palm oil palms. In fact, the FAO (Food & Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations) claims that coconut sugar is the most sustainable sweetener in the world.

Coconut Sugar is the crystallised (evaporated) nectar of the tropical coconut palm tree blossom. Coconut sugar is mostly sucrose (about 70%) followed by glucose and fructose. Boasting a naturally low Glycemic Index (GI 35) that is almost half the GI of cane sugar (GI 68), lower than honey (GI 55) and agave (GI 42). Contains protein (12 amino acids) and minerals including potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc and iron.

Organic Coconut Sugar is a versatile sweetener that can substitute cane sugar in many recipes. Coconut Sugar is most commonly used to make sweet foods such as cakes, muffins, raw treats, cookies and brownies. It also adds a nice sweet touch to hot beverages like coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Coconut sugar can also be used in savoury recipes including curries and stews.

Our stores serve as community hubs where people connect with our team and fellow community members, sharing a journey toward optimal health and wellness. The palpable sense of community forms part of the social and cultural fabric of the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers. Employing over 70 passionate locals, we support hundreds of local farmers, makers, and artisans, promoting the local economy, building community resilience, and strengthening the local food system. Approximately 75% of the food on our shelves is locally grown, produced, or supplied, nurturing interconnectedness and supporting those passionate about clean, wholesome food and sustainable living.

We invest in ethics research through a dedicated Ethics Specialist position, ensuring our products meet rigorous standards before reaching our shelves. Our Care Check process aligns products with our social impact and environmental goals, providing customers with confidence in their purchases. Our commitment to ethical product procurement extends to partnerships with local farmers through initiatives like the Grow the Growers Project. This project helps local farmers establish pathways to the organic retail market, making fresh, locally grown organic food more available and affordable. By incorporating supply agreements and mutual marketing support, we foster connections between customers and the farmers behind their food.

Santos Organics significantly impacts the local community and economy.
