What it is

Nata de coco is a chewy, jelly-like food made from fermented coconut water. It is produced by the bacterial fermentation of coconut water by Acetobacter xylinum. The resulting gel is then cut into cubes or other shapes.

Why it's used

Nata de coco is often used as a textural ingredient in desserts, beverages, and fruit salads. Its firm, slightly chewy texture adds an interesting mouthfeel, and it can absorb flavors from the surrounding liquid, making it a popular addition to puddings, jellies, and fruit cocktails.

Health notes

JECFA has evaluated nata de coco and did not specify a numerical acceptable daily intake. It is not known to have adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
