What’s so different? There are other coconut “sugars” out on the market, right?
Yes.
This one is different: look at the picture and you see the creamyness of the sugar. These are not crystals, this is a thick creamy delicious unique nectar made from a organic Thai Coconut variety which is aready naturally sweeter than others and imagine the creamy golden delite on your spoon…. mmmm.
To preserve its quality there is a cover or pure natural vegan CARNAUBA WAX covering the sugar. When you open the lid of the bucket you crack the wax which keeps the sugar free from mold or bacteria.
