It's not much better than table sugar. It has a slightly lower glycemic index, so it won't spike your blood sugar quite as fast, and some nutrients, but it's a rather low amount and not a viable source for any of those nutrients due to the amount you would have to eat.
This also doesn't come from coconuts. It comes from the tree sap. They boil it to remove the water and convert it to a syrup, then dry and crystalize it into this.
The other options you mentioned would be much better choices. This is just a gimmick to get you to spend more $ than you would on cane sugar.

I'm sure this is better than your regular sugar. But any comparisons on this VS Monk fruit sweetener or Agave extract?
Personally, agave extract is my go to. ANY crystalized sugar has been through some manufacturing and chemical baths you are most likely unaware of or reported on. Coconut sugar is supposed to be less processed than cane and supposedly retains more nutrients due to that, still processed though. Agave extract is a liquid, still processed but not as much as crystal sugars. I have used this myself it has a small tarty aftertaste, if you are familiar with monkfruit and the bitterness it entails, this is like in my opinion about 25% of the bitter on the scale where monkfruit/stevia are 100%.
I have experimented with a lot of sugars over the years and they are definitely different regardless of the numbers on the package. This is pretty decent and good for baking and stuff, i do not use it in coffees or drinks, unless of course you are comfy with the slightly bitter hints.
At the end of the day its definitely better for you than the primary cane sugars mostly used, but the rest is opinion and health preferences after that...
Is this the right kind of sugar for Thai cooking? I got burned by a previous Slickdeal for the big tree farms brand which apparently is different from Thai palm sugar. That one had a nutty toasted taste that imparted a lot of bitterness when used for cooking. Hot Thai Kitchen on YouTube had a video about Thai palm sugar and apparently the burnt taste is normal for western coconut palm sugar?

Thanks a lot for the detailed response. I'm currently using Monk fruit based sweetener

Thank you for the insight, your post needs to be higher. With so many expensive health trends out there, it's difficult to know if they are effective or even safe.

calling it "just a gimmick" is pretty misleading. coconut sugar has been used for hundreds of years. additionally, you can almost guarantee coconut sugar is vegan, which is not necessarily true for cane sugar.

Palm jaggery is used traditionally for its medicinal benefits in India, which is not just as a low glycemic index option. But has other health benefits as well.
Nutrition Facts: Palm Jaggery vs. Refined Sugar
When it comes to nutrition, research shows palm jaggery contains higher amounts of some vitamins and minerals compared to refined white sugar:
Iron Palm jaggery is well known as an excellent source of iron. 100 grams provides about 11-13 mg of iron, meeting 61-72% of the daily value. This is substantially higher than refined sugar, which contains only trace amounts of iron.
Getting adequate iron is crucial, especially for vegans/vegetarians and women during pregnancy. Iron plays a key role in circulation and energy production.
Magnesium & Potassium
Palm jaggery also contains more magnesium and potassium than refined sugar. 100 grams provides around 40-50 mg magnesium (10-13% DV) and 600 mg potassium (13% DV). Refined sugar has none.
These minerals are important for muscle, nerve, enzyme function, and managing blood pressure.
B Vitamins
As a natural sweetener, palm jaggery retains vitamins like riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pyridoxine, and folic acid that are removed when sugarcane is highly refined. It's a decent source of B-vitamins, while refined sugar contains none.
B-vitamins help convert food into cellular energy and are vital for healthy blood cells, skin, hair, and liver.
Other Minerals
In addition, palm jaggery contains small amounts of minerals like calcium, phosphorus, manganese, selenium and zinc. It has slightly more mineral content compared to refined white sugar.
So in terms of nutrition, organic palm jaggery has a clear advantage over regular processed cane sugar by being less refined and retaining some vitamins and minerals.
Phytochemicals in Palm Jaggery
In addition to vitamins and minerals, palm jaggery contains beneficial plant compounds and antioxidants not found in regular crystallized sugar:
Phenolic Compounds Research shows palm jaggery contains phenolic compounds that act as antioxidants in the body to prevent cell damage from free radicals. Studies show jaggery has higher total phenols than refined sugar.
Phytosterols Palm jaggery also contains high levels of phytosterols compared to refined sugar. Phytosterols are plant compounds that help reduce LDL "bad" cholesterol levels.
Policosanols Policosanols in palm jaggery also have antioxidant properties. Studies suggest they may help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol while raising "good" HDL cholesterol levels in the body.
So the phytochemicals in organic palm jaggery can provide additional health benefits that regular table sugar lacks.
Glycemic Index and Blood Sugar Effects
For people with diabetes or blood sugar concerns, the glycemic index (GI) of a sweetener is an important factor. The GI measures how quickly a food raises blood sugar.
Palm jaggery has a glycemic index of 35-43. This is considerably lower than refined sugar's GI of 60-70. Foods with a lower GI do not spike blood sugar levels as quickly.
This suggests palm jaggery may be a healthier sugar alternative for diabetics and those managing blood sugar compared to regular table sugar. However, portion control is still important, as it does elevate blood glucose.
Can you link me to the brand of agave extract that you use?
I think you meant to quote someone else, but Costco sells 72 oz of agave nectar for about $9. I like it better than honey because it doesn't crystallize over time.

Cane sugar has been used for hundreds of years. That means nothing.
Sugar is sugar. All highly processed.

I have crystallized honey as we speak and I probably had it for a few months.
