Nata de coco
Japan sells this weird product that I imagine is also sold in other countries. called nato de coco. It is sort of like a tough coconut jelly that is sold in a light syrup. It goes well with fruit or other deserts like yogurt or pudding. The only question is how is it made? I heard one version of the manufacturing process but I am not sure if it is the truth. Before I go spilling the beans on the story that I heard, does anyone else have any ideas how it is made. Warning, you may never look at coconut the same way again.
It’s from coconut cream fermented with Acetobacter xylinum. The bacteria forms a lot of those delicious polysaccharides that makes up the nata de coco.
Isn’t it just a fermented product, like yogurt or beer?
Nata de coco is made by fermenting coconut water. This product was introduced to Japan from the Philippines in the early 90s but is now found everywhere. Some claims nata de coco is a health food – high in fiber, good for the digestive system, low in calories, no cholesterol.
Hmm. Somehow, A scientist in the kitchen’s comment wasn’t here when I made mine.

we are buyers of nata de coco during it’s boom in the market but cut short when news spread out that it was laced with chemicals like chlorox or other whitening liquid which is not safe to humans, but it is not true since nata is for all i know was made up of good bacteria that grows 12 to 15 days, it was fermented in a room with fresh air coming in and out, but if you are not lucky enough and you have bad or say dirty sorroundings and materials like plastic containers, dirty hands, it will not grow or solidify into soft gell, that is why during those times, export to Japan was stop and local growers where deprived of their source of livelyhood because of this gossips that made up of a typical filipino who did not think first before saying anything. Sayang maganda na sana ang pinagkakakitaan ng pinoy. May nagsasabi pa naman na gamot ito sa hika, cancer, nakkatunaw ng stones(gall n kidney) at marami pang health benefits pero kung mababalita mo na may chlorox eh di matatakot ka. Pero hindi tutoo yun , tsismis lang. Bakit kamo eh di ask me na lang personally,see you all!!!
A quick treat of Nata de Coco is to mix it with a can of evaporated milk and crushed ice. Try it!
