About 3.5 million hectares or 26% of our agricultural land are planted with coconut trees. We grow and cultivate coconuts for various purposes. In fact, every part of the coconut can be put to use, from lumber and fuel to food and beauty products.<\/p><div class=\"447d89fd8ebe85d3aa2bf2e394af15c6\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0;\">\n<script data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3958015878128031\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>One mark of a true Filipino is our preference for coconut vinegar.\u00a0 We use it heavily to cook our favorite dishes like adobo, kinilaw and sinigang. Coconut vinegar can be made from coconut water or from coconut sap.<\/p>\n<p>Coconut water is the liquid found inside the coconut shell along with the coconut flesh. Coconut sap is the liquid extracted from coconut blossoms. It is locally called tuba, and is sweet when freshly harvested. Tuba can then be made into an alcoholic drink (raw coconut wine tuba or refined into lambanog), coco sugar or sukang tuba (coconut sap vinegar).<\/p>\n<p>It is said that coconut sap offers more health benefits than coconut water because of the concentration of essential vitamins and minerals. More so, our very own sukang tuba (not the ones with artificial flavor enhancers) may actually be far superior than the more popular apple cider vinegar (ACV). Let\u2019s take up the benefits we can get from sukang tuba and see whether it is indeed the better vinegar than ACV.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>Alkalizing to the Body<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Alkalizing-to-the-Body.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5048\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Alkalizing-to-the-Body.jpg\" alt=\"Alkalizing to the Body\" width=\"595\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Alkalizing-to-the-Body.jpg 595w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Alkalizing-to-the-Body-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Certain foods such as fruits, vegetables and legumes are considered by some as alkaline foods because when they enter the body, they supposedly decrease the body\u2019s acidity and don\u2019t leave residue post digestion. According to advocates of alkaline diet, alkalizing foods protect the body from diseases and illnesses. Now, this claim has <a href=\"https:\/\/authoritynutrition.com\/the-alkaline-diet-myth\/\">not been fully validated<\/a> by health professionals, although eating such foods is good because they contain essential nutrients. Alkaline diet practitioners swear by ACV for being an alkalizing vinegar. However, according to an article, coconut sap vinegar or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superfoodly.com\/benefits-of-coconut-vinegar-vs-apple-cider-vinegar\/\">sukang tuba is also alkalizing<\/a> to the body. So, if we are to go for supposedly alkalizing vinegar, why not chose our local coconut sap vinegar over ACV?<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Very Low Glycemic Index<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Very-Low-Glycemic-Index.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5047\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Very-Low-Glycemic-Index.gif\" alt=\"Very Low Glycemic Index\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Actually, all types of vinegars have acetic acid that <a href=\"http:\/\/foodwatch.com.au\/blog\/healthy-eating-for-wellness\/item\/q-is-it-true-that-vinegar-makes-a-meal-low-in-gi.html\">lowers the glycemic index of the diet<\/a>. Because of the impressive nutrient content of ACV, and now sukang tuba, anyone who wants to control their blood sugar try to incorporate these two \u201chealthier vinegars\u201d into their meals. This is good news for Filipinos suffering from diabetes, obesity and other blood-sugar-related problems \u2013 our very own sukang tuba may be a life saver.

But in this category, sukang tuba has more amino acids than ACV. While skeptics can argue about the true content of vitamins in coconut sap because of the absence of profound research and because vitamins are water soluble and vulnerable to heat. Amino acids on the other hand are very stable, so the amino acid levels in raw coconut sap are pretty much retained and unaffected by processing.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Naturally Fermented<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Naturally-Fermented.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5043\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Naturally-Fermented.jpg\" alt=\"Naturally Fermented\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Naturally-Fermented.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Naturally-Fermented-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Naturally-Fermented-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>People are going crazy over natural and organic foods these days. Naturally fermented food like our local sukang tuba <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenourishinggourmet.com\/2014\/01\/the-health-benefits-of-naturally-fermented-foods.html\">offers more health benefits<\/a> than juices and saps that are artificially fermented. It doesn\u2019t take so much to create vinegar out of coconut sap or coconut water for that matter. Simply place the liquid in a tight container (although some would leave them uncovered to encourage yeast growth), and it would naturally ferment in several months. The murky substance in coconut sap vinegar is the vinegar mother, which indicates good fermentation process. Once the liquid has fermented or is sour enough, the mother is removed to prevent spoiling.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Contains Probiotics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Contains-Probiotics.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5042\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Contains-Probiotics.jpg\" alt=\"Contains Probiotics\" width=\"300\" height=\"245\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fermented foods like coconut sap vinegar are <a href=\"http:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/health\/coconut-vinegar-probiotic-benefits\/\">rich sources of probiotics<\/a>, which promote healthy digestion.

Spiced sukang tuba is also heavily marketed and widely sold in major groceries.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Cheaper than Apple Cider Vinegar<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Cheaper.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5040\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Cheaper.jpg\" alt=\"Cheaper\" width=\"800\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Cheaper.jpg 800w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Cheaper-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Besides being widely available, coconut sap vinegar is much cheaper than the supposedly king of vinegars, apple cider. In fact, if you visit the supermarket, you will find that coconut sap vinegar (spiced) only costs a third of ACV. If you buy direct from local producers or farmers, coconut sap vinegar is even much cheaper.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Promotes and Helps Local Farmers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Promotes-and-Helps-Local-Farmers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5046\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Promotes-and-Helps-Local-Farmers.jpg\" alt=\"Promotes and Helps Local Farmers\" width=\"550\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Promotes-and-Helps-Local-Farmers.jpg 550w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Promotes-and-Helps-Local-Farmers-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Promotes-and-Helps-Local-Farmers-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Promotes-and-Helps-Local-Farmers-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most if not all of our coconut sap vinegar products are produced by local farmers and Filipino business owners. Buying from our local farmers help provide them a dependable livelihood and source of income. These farmers not only cultivate coconuts to make sukang tuba, but also most of the spices and chilies blended into the liquid to make spiced sukang tuba.<\/p>\n<p>A Word of Caution:<\/p>\n<p>When consumed on its own, coconut sap vinegar doesn\u2019t provide enough nutrients to support bodily functions. It must be paired with other equally nutritious foods, and matched with good exercise and sufficient rest. Commercially bottled sukang tuba that contains spices and artificial flavoring does not have the same nutritional content as pure sukang tuba.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there\u2019s a catch to buying sukang tuba from sources where food sanitation may not be checked and strictly observed. Before using sukang tuba in its uncooked form in salads and sauces, it must be boiled for at least five minutes, placed in sterilized bottles, and stored properly.<\/p>\n<p>The boiling process stops further fermentation because it kills the bacteria in the vinegar including harmful ones, thus preventing amoebic dysentery (amoebiasis) and food poisoning. Pre-boiling is not necessary if sukang tuba is used in cooking. Understand that boiling reduces the vitamin content of food.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve presented the benefits of sukang tuba, do you agree when we say that our local vinegar may actually be the better alternative to ACV?
