Why does Sucre de fleur de coco have a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4)?

The product is almost pure sugar (94 g per 100 g) with no protein, fiber, or beneficial micronutrients, giving it a very low nutritional quality that drives the Nutri‑Score to E, and its refining process places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content of this coconut sugar affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The very high sugar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while the 0.34 g of salt per 100 g adds to daily sodium intake and may be a concern for those managing hypertension.

Is the coconut sugar used in this product a concern for individuals with coconut allergies or for environmental sustainability?

Coconut sugar is derived from coconut flower sap, so people with a coconut allergy should avoid it, and although it is certified organic and fair‑trade, its cultivation still involves monoculture practices that can affect biodiversity.

Product Insights

Sucre de fleur de coco is an organic, fair‑trade coconut‑flower sugar sold in 500 g plastic sachets, classified among the ‘Sugary snacks’ and ‘Sweets’ PNNS groups. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and, like most refined sugars, falls into the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting its high sugar (94 g per 100 g) and low nutrient density. While it contains no fat, saturated fat or protein and has a modest salt level (0.34 g per 100 g), its extremely high sugar content and lack of fiber make it nutritionally poor for regular consumption.
