What it is

Cultured coconut blend is a food ingredient made from coconut milk or cream that has been fermented by beneficial bacteria, similar to how yogurt is made from dairy milk. This fermentation process can create a tangy flavor and a smoother texture. It is often used as a dairy-free alternative.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured coconut blend to provide a creamy texture and a slightly tangy flavor in dairy-free products. It can also act as a base for beverages, yogurts, and desserts, mimicking the role of dairy in traditional recipes.

Health notes

In the US, cultured coconut blend is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The fermentation process can increase the bioavailability of some nutrients and introduce probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria for gut health. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar fermented ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'cultured coconut blend' may vary. Evidence on the health benefits of probiotics is ongoing.

Allergen info

Coconut is botanically a fruit, not a tree nut, and is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens. Cultured coconut blend is not a source of gluten.
