Don’t say that you don’t like sweets! Even if you say that you don’t eat  sweets, you can’t say that you don’t eat anything sweet at all. There is always some sweet taste in the food we eat in our daily life. All food always contains sugar in different kinds or types. Today blog, we are going to tell you about the home industry in the central part of Thailand where you can see local people making coconut sugar for their living.  As we all love sweet taste from food, deserts as well as drinks. However only sugar itself could give mainly only the sweet taste. But not the sweet smell. Of course sugar is made from the sugarcanes which is very common in all family kitchens and restaurants all over the world. However there is also the sugar we could get from other plants!

The coconuts are one of the sources for the sweet pure natural taste we could get. In Thailand, there are many different areas where people grow coconut farms for fruits, coconut leaves or coconut trunks for some other purposes. The very hot day can be cured with a fresh coconut drink! Fresh tasty juice inside the fruit itself gives you a lot of energy on a hot day because it contains Sucrose, Fructose and Glucose which are good and high nutrient. Coconut meat also can be eaten as it also gives you Potassium, Zincs, Calcium, all  vitamins as well as  minerals which are good for your body. In the Thai desert you could see the coconut creamy milk in them to give you the unique flavor. The central part of Thailand is the place where you could see the process of making the coconut sugar. The process of making is not from the coconut fruits, but from the coconut flowers ( Ngung Ma-Proa =The bunch of young coconut flowers which have not developed into real flowers yet). By climbing on the coconut trees to the very top where the bunches are. Carrying the small bamboo buckets then cutting the very end of the bunch to let the syrup drop into the containers. Once they get enough syrup to collect. They will bring them down and boil them in the big pan to get rid of the water. Finally, the thick coconut sugar is ready to fill in the mole and let dry. This is not the only process to get the sweet concentrate of the coconut sugar, but also to preserve them for the next use.  Coconut sugar is one of the sugar that is pure and not artificial or any substance that harms your body. Then we could say that coconut sugar is one of the perfect choices for cooking or for the people who’ s really concerned about health. It gains more popularity as people are more concerned about health than in the old days. Seeing the coconut sugarmaking process is something more interesting for us to learn and gain more understanding and our trust in the natural product which is produced by the true locals.
