Coconut oil is a healthy and easy alternative to butter and canola/vegetable/olive oil, containing valuable antioxidants and natural, good fats (medium-chain fatty acids, aka MCFAs). Palm sugar is also a great replacement for regular white sugar, made from the sap of Arenga Pinnata (sugar palm) and Nipa Palm, which aids in the digestive process (by breaking down quickly, increasing energy levels) and helps to maintain our bodies' electrolyte balance. It is also a naturally low glycemic index food, making it safer for diabetes patients, and contains high levels of the essential mineral potassium, which can help increase musculoskeletal health.
