What it is
Peanut coconut is a combination of peanuts and coconut. Peanuts are legumes grown underground, while coconuts are the fruit of the coconut palm tree. Both are often roasted or dried for use in food products.
Why it's used
This combination is typically used as a snack or as an ingredient in snack mixes. It provides a savory and slightly sweet flavor profile with a crunchy texture.
Health notes
Peanut coconut itself is not a regulated food additive. Peanuts are a common allergen, and coconut can also cause allergic reactions in some individuals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers both peanuts and tree nuts (which coconut is sometimes grouped with, though botanically it is a drupe) as major allergens. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peanuts and coconut separately, but not this specific combination.
Allergen info
Peanuts are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Coconut is not considered a major allergen by the FDA, though some individuals can be allergic to it.
