motovilova Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi! My coworker and I are doing our first Whole30 together. He bought the Coconut Secret Teriyaki Sauce and made some cauliflower rice with it. The teriyaki sauce is from the same company that makes the coconut aminos everyone uses. The ingredients list "coconut sap" as the first ingredient, but so do the aminos, so I wasn't sure if it would be compliant or not. Thanks!

AmyS Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yum - I didn't know they made a teriyaki sauce - must ask at my local health food store. Drat, now I'm hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyV Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 just came across it this past weekend and was wondering about the coconut sap too. Glad to hear it is a go!!!!!!! For people who can't find it in the stores I bet Amazon will have it. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillearning Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yes Kathy, I have seen it on Amazon. I purchased mine in Whole Foods. I think Wegmens also carries it. Good luck. I'm really missing soy sauce, this has fit the bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachieleah Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 On the front of the Coconut Secret Teriyaki Sauce it reads, "Sweetened with Coconut Nectar". The ingredient list is the same as what's already posted above: coconut sap, not coconut nectar. Are sap and nectar the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I am about 99.9999999% sure that they are the same thing. I think the purveyors of the Coconut Secret brand decided "nectar" sounded more elegant than "sap." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachieleah Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 So would the teriyaki not be compliant? LIke I said, it's confusing because the ingredients list coconut sap and on the front it says sweetened with coconut nectar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIke I said, it's confusing because the ingredients list coconut sap and on the front it says sweetened with coconut nectar. OK now I'm not sure about this product. I have and use it, and don't see coconut nectar in the ingredients list. (Also, I clearly missed this as a sneaky sugar, sorry!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 At the end of the day, coconut nectar/sap/sugar... not a miracle food. It is very similar to regular table sugar, although the manufacturing process is more natural and it also contains some minor amounts of nutrients to go with it. GFChris is correct, it's not for a Whole 30. It is slightly “less bad” than regular sugar, but definitely not something you should eat. Coconut sugar is in the same boat as honey. It is healthier than refined sugar, but definitely worse than no sugar at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Urban Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 You guys, I'm going to have to do some research on this. It appears as though sometimes the sap is left alone, as with Coconut Aminos, and sometimes it's heated and crystallized to turn it into a sugar. Give me some time on this, okay? Best, Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
