What it is
Coconut butter is a creamy spread made from the flesh of mature coconuts. The entire coconut meat, including its oil and fiber, is ground into a smooth paste, similar to how nut butters are produced.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use coconut butter to add a rich, creamy texture and a distinct coconut flavor to various food products. It is often found in items like chocolates, cookies, and snack bars, where it also contributes binding properties.
Health notes
Coconut butter is considered a food ingredient rather than a food additive by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is naturally high in saturated fats. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a whole food, it is not typically evaluated by organizations like JECFA or EFSA as a food additive.
Allergen info
The FDA considers coconut a tree nut for food labeling purposes, making it one of the nine major food allergens.
