What is coconut sugar?
It is sugar made by heating fresh coconut sap until the water evaporates and the syrup crystallises. It is not made from the coconut fruit.

Which granule sizes are available?
| Size | Feel | Common uses |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh 14 | Coarser granules | Retail packs, toppings, heated sauces |
| Mesh 50 | Fine granules | Baking, drinks, dry mixes |
Is it organic?
Coconut sugar can be certified organic when it is produced under an organic programme. Buyers should ask for the valid organic certificate for their market.
How is it packed?
Bulk coconut sugar is commonly packed in paper bags with a food-grade PE liner, on pallets. Bag size and labelling are agreed with the buyer.
How should it be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place in closed packaging. Coconut sugar absorbs moisture, so humidity can cause lumps.
Which documents should I ask for?
- Product specification
- Certificate of analysis for each lot
- Organic certificate, if relevant
- Allergen and other statements your system requires
How do I start?
Most buyers request a sample and the specification first, test it in their products and then agree on price, volume, packaging and delivery terms.
