Granulated or crystal coconut palm sugar is needed for foods and beverages industries as natural-sweetener such as coffee, chocolate or candy.

Coconut palm sugar made of nira, a white sap obtained by tapping the inflorescences of the coconut palm trees. To turn it into sugar, the nira is first strained to remove dirt, then boiled until it becomes syrupy. It is then poured into a mold, usually made from half the husk of a coconut, and is left to harden. After it is removed from the mold, the coconut sugar is ready to use. In the making of granulated coconut palm sugar, however, the boiled nira is not simply poured into a mold. Instead, it is stirred and strained and dried so that it forms granules. This kind of sugar is believed to be more nutritious than sugar extracted from sugarcane. It contains CALCIUM, PHOSPHOR, IRON, and even PROTEIN and FAT, which are not present in sugarcane sugar. That is why coconut sugar is believed to be beneficial for people suffering from calcium deficiency.

Some said "...to prevent osteoporosis you don\'t need to drink milk. You can just eat palm sugar. It\'s cheaper."
