SRE Now into Coconut Sugar

SRE is now collaborating with a California-based SME, Coconut World, (http://www.coconutworld.biz/) to market coconut sugar in health food stores in the U.S.

The coco sugar is sourced from production facilities under the auspices of the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) in the Visayas (Aklan) and Mindanao (Cotabato). These facilities provide livelihood for several coconut farmers and their families. Majority of the workers are women.

Coconut sugar has a glycemic index (GI) of 35, and sucrose content of 80 - making it an excellent, healthy alternative to cane sugar. (And it tastes great!)

In addition, coco sugar comes from the sap of the flower of organically-grown coconut trees that is then processed with no preservatives and chemicals
