Organic Coconut Extract And Water

Organic coconut extract and water is a liquid flavoring ingredient made from coconuts. It is typically produced by steeping the flesh of organic coconuts in water to draw out their natural flavor compounds. The resulting liquid is then filtered, and may be further concentrated or diluted with water.

This ingredient is primarily used to impart a natural coconut flavor to various food products. It is commonly found in plant-based beverages like coconut milk and cream, as well as in baking additives and other flavored foods where a distinct coconut taste is desired.

Organic coconut extract and water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food. The FDA considers coconut a tree nut for labeling purposes, but it is not typically associated with adverse health effects in individuals without a coconut allergy. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated coconut extract and water as a food additive, as it is considered a food ingredient.
