About COCONUT PALM SUGAR

Good & Gather Coconut Palm Sugar is a single-ingredient sweetener from Target's Good & Gather brand, launched in 2019 as Target's flagship natural and organic private label to replace both Simply Balanced and Archer Farms across many categories. The sole ingredient is organic coconut palm sugar, which is produced by collecting and evaporating the sap of coconut palm tree blossoms. This minimally processed sweetener retains trace minerals including potassium, zinc, iron, and calcium, as well as small amounts of inulin, a prebiotic fiber, though quantities are nutritionally minor.

Coconut palm sugar delivers 375 calories per 100 grams, identical to other granulated sugars. The macronutrient profile is 100% carbohydrate by weight, with zero fat, protein, and fiber. It shares a similar calorie density to white cane sugar, though it has a marginally lower reported glycemic index (approximately 35 compared to cane sugar's 60-65), a distinction valued in some dietary approaches, though total sugar intake remains a more meaningful metric for most individuals.

The organic certification means this product was produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and Good & Gather's organic sourcing aligns with Target's broader premium natural positioning. Coconut palm sugar has a naturally rich, caramel-like flavor with subtle notes of brown sugar and molasses, making it a versatile 1:1 substitute for cane sugar in baking, coffee sweetening, sauces, and marinades. It contains no artificial flavors, preservatives, or colors. Those monitoring sugar intake should treat it comparably to other caloric sweeteners despite its natural sourcing.
