Description
Versatile Kokonati organic coconut nectar is made from the sap tapped from the coconut flower blossoms. The sap is slowly evaporated into a thick syrup. Coconut nectar has a subtle sweetness that enhances the flavor of cooking and baking.
Uses Use in refined-sugar-free baking and as a natural derived alternative to heavily refined sugar-syrups. Can replace regular syrup 1: 1. Can also be used in place of honey and maple syrup. Use as topping for cereal, yogurt or ice cream!
Flavor Aroma is neutral and taste is pleasantly sweet. Depending on the harvest and season every batch of nectar can vary in color and to a minor degree in taste as it is a natural cottage-industry product that does not use any chemical refining, additives or preservatives to standardize product like with large-scale commercially processed syrups.

Benefits Coconut nectar contains sixteen types of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals because it is made for coconut sap, harvested from coconut trees that grow in rich, volcanic mineral-rich soils. Coconut sap been tested and said to have a low Glycaemic Index (GI) level of 35 to 38. Low GI sugars when consumed are metabolized slowly which helps regulate energy levels for daily activity without causing the “high” and “lows”’ that refined sugars and artificial sweeteners can cause. The only ingredient that goes into making coconut nectar, the coconut sap (extracted from the coconut flower) also has a nutritional content rich in Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc, and Iron. It is also a natural source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, and C. As it is a natural product rich in minerals and enzymes it aids the slow absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
100+ years of coconut expertise Our Coconut nectar sales supports the traditional livelihoods of villagers in the rural coconut triangle of Sri Lanka. Coconut sap is harvested by traditional methods handed down to generations of toddy-tapping families. It is an intricate art; harvesting and extracting coconut sap and reducing it into nectar without caramelizing its natural flavor. This traditional production allows village populations to utilize their age-old knowledge and expertise to survive in this modernized and mechanized world of manufacture by producing this 100% natural unrefined product. The toddy tapper families collect the natural sap every 12 hours and simmer it gently to reduce it. The resulting thick syrup is sent to the local mill where it is filtered and packed into sterilized bottles and sealed for freshness. Backed by generations of coconut expertise, and certified with ISO and Organic standards, the mill plays a vital role in the employment, welfare and wellbeing of the village community. The children of our workforce are provided with school books and stationery for the entire school year. The mill also organizes religious and cultural events to inculcate a sense of belonging to a bigger cause, bringing a sense of pride and community to the villagers who are using age-old knowledge, treading lightly, and making a living for their families, sustainably.
Price for quality Our products are not mass-produced in vast industrialised factories. So we do not enjoy the economies of scale that supermarket brands do. We pay the millers and farmers a fair price. Specifically, batch-crafted for New Zealand, Kokonati products are made with multigenerational expertise and knowledge to be the best quality they can be and so easily justify the premium price for the premium quality you are getting.
