Q: What is Kokada, and how do I use it?
A: Kokada is a coconut-based spread made from simple, real ingredients. Think of it as a naturally sweet, better-for-you alternative to nut butters or chocolate spreads. It’s vegan, gluten-free, peanut-free, and made with coconut nectar instead of refined sugar.
You can spread it on toast, drizzle it over oatmeal or fruit, blend it into smoothies, bake with it, or (our favorite) eat it straight from the jar. Kokada makes snacking a little more fun and a lot more delicious, all with less sugar and more coconut goodness.

Q: What is coconut treacle?
A: One of our main ingredients, coconut treacle, is native to the beautiful island of Sri Lanka and created using traditional Sri Lankan methods. Coconut sap is turned into treacle by using heat to bring out that rich, thick consistency we all now know and love.
You may be wondering why we use coconut treacle versus other sweeteners. Well, besides the delicious flavor and natural manufacturing process, coconut treacle is generally considered a better-for-you substitute for sweeteners. With a lower glycemic index (GI), it does not spike your blood sugar levels and cause the dreaded sugar crash.
Q: What is carrageenan, and why is it included in Kokada?
A: Carrageenan is an extract from a red seaweed commonly known as Irish Moss. This edible seaweed is native to the UK and has been used in traditional cooking for hundreds of years. Including less than 1g of carrageenan means less stirring every time you open a jar!

Q: Why is there a white coating in my Kokada product?
A: Like natural nut butters, there may be some ingredient separation as the temperature fluctuates during the delivery process. Coconut oil is extremely sensitive to temperature. Throughout the summer, some jars may have a coconut oil layer on top. During winter, jars may have a white solid coconut oil top. Have no fear! The separation is just the natural ingredients doing their job! Just give it a quick stir to recombine ingredients.
