What Is Nata De Coco?

Nata de coco, a chewy and translucent jelly-like substance, is widely favored in Southeast Asian desserts and beverages for its distinctive texture and flavor. Typically, it’s crafted by fermenting coconut water with  bacteria to yield this unique substance. During fermentation, the process produces a gelatinous substance with a subtly sweet taste and a texture akin to gelatin or jelly. It frequently enters fruit salads, ice creams, puddings, and beverages like bubble tea. It is also known for its high dietary fiber content and low-calorie count, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers.
