Biona Organic Coconut Blossom Nectar 350g (Pack of 2)

Product Information

Natural coconut flower sap contains 1.5% fructose when collected from the blossoms. As the water is removed from the sap, the fructose content of the final liquid only reaches about 10%.

Our coconut syrup is unrefined and unbleached and is without any additives.
