Nata de coco is a
coconut product, produced mainly in the
Philippines. It was recently very
big in Japan, due to the fact that it is low in calories, high in fiber, good for your digestive system, and very very yummy. Its made by
fermenting coconut water or milk with glacial
acetic acid and sugar. Its firm, chewy and sweet.
It's used in a number of
japanese snacks, like
jelly cups, as well as in things like fruit cocktail and
pudding.
