What it is
Organic coconut amino acids are a liquid seasoning made from the fermented sap of coconut blossoms. The sap is mixed with sea salt and then aged, creating a savory, slightly sweet, and umami-rich liquid.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use coconut amino acids as a soy sauce alternative, adding a savory and slightly sweet flavor to foods. They are commonly found in marinades, dressings, sauces, and as a seasoning for dishes like stir-fries, salads, and roasted vegetables.
Health notes
Coconut amino acids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. While some sources suggest they may offer health benefits due to their amino acid content, scientific evidence supporting specific health claims at typical consumption levels is limited. JECFA has evaluated coconut sap, but no specific evaluation for coconut amino acids is readily available in public databases.
Allergen info
Coconut is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Coconut amino acids are not derived from wheat, soy, or other major allergens.
