The name is traditionally used in the language of the Island of Bali. From the flowers of the Coconut Palm (Cocos Nucifera, that has nothing to deal with the Oil Palm - Elaeis Guineensis), the “Tree of Life”, as indigenous peoples call it, cultivated with non-intensive techniques in the Island of Bali, we obtain this precious nectar. After cutting the large inflorescences, the resinous secretion is collected by hand in small cups. Then the precious nectar, once the moisture has evaporated, is moulded into the traditional cup shaped blocks, now as centuries ago.
It is a complete food and its peculiar nature, including different saccharides (sucrose does not exceed 63%), minerals, proteins and fibers (such as inulin), favors a gradual absorption by the body.
Hence the reason why many international sources classify it as food with low glycemic index.
This is a tasty and complete way to sweeten, taking care to well-being.
Only through the "Panela Method" it is possible to safeguard the traditional richness of the sugar blocks, preserving their nutrients and their unique nutritional features. It doesn't give any coconut aftertaste because it is 100% coconut blossoms sap.
Unique method of processing of the blocks of whole sugar.
