REALSA

Coconut sugar is best used as a sweetener alternative. Realsa Coconut Sugar originates from the lush Javanese landscape of the Indonesian archipelago. It pays tribute to the region’s proud farming heritage and integrates this with modern standards of quality control.

Our coconut sugar is all-natural, has no preservatives, no additives, no artificial flavors or colorings, no chemicals, no bleaching , no anti fermenting agent and no synthetic adulterants are used.

Our Coconut Sugar gives these farmers the potential for a better life. This is a unique tradition of the Javanese and they are known to produce the best quality Coconut Sugar.

Farmers climb the coconut palms and collect the sugar blossom nectar by gently slicing the flower. Once harvested the nectar is transferred into kettles. The evaporation process lowers the moisture content of the nectar before it is allowed to set into a solid nectar “brick”. Once the nectar has cooled and solidified it is then ground into granules.

Compared to cane sugar, coconut trees produce 50-75% more sugar per acre but use less than one fifth of the soil nutrients and water, making Coconut Sugar an extremely sustainable product.This has led many traditional communities throughout the world to consider coconut palms as the “Tree of Life”, as one tree can provide a multitude of usable goods, such as roofing material, food, coconut water, building material and shade for crops.
