Peanut butter is a satisfyingly fatty, calorie-dense protein food that has a savory nutty flavor. It can be creamy or chunky and often has a hint of sweetness blended into the mix. While you can eat it on its own, many people use it as a condiment or an ingredient, adding it to breads, fruits, crackers, recipes, and more. However, for all the things peanut butter is, it would be hard to find anyone who described it as tropical or refreshing.
Until now.
Cocomo is a game-changing treat that is made from two primary ingredients: organically grown peanuts and coconuts. Yes, coconuts. And it tastes like paradise feels. Cocomo is a revitalizing tropical jaunt for your taste buds. This peanut butter is an intoxicatingly smooth and decadently creamy delight that regales your senses with an invigorating island-inspired wave of flavor.
Why Cocomo is on our radar
Cocomo is made with organic ingredients, such as peanuts, coconuts, and flavors from plant extracts. According to the company, it has no artificial additives, preservatives, or flavors. The taste is lightly tropical, making it a new and vibrant experience for the palate. Plus, the product is packaged using minimal virgin plastics and the jar can be recycled.
What does organic mean?
Unlike other potentially misleading marketing buzzwords such as “natural,” foods labeled USDA Organic must adhere to strict guidelines, ensuring the certification has real meaning and value to the consumer. Cocomo ingredients are certified organic through the Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO).
Zero issues for individuals with texture sensitivities
I have tried to like coconut my entire life. The revitalizing sensation should feel like a dream vacation for my mouth. Unfortunately, it is more of a nightmare. I am very sensitive to textures and cannot get past the shredded plastic feel of coconut flakes or the slimy nature of coconut water. Mixed in with peanut butter, however, the oil feels just right. And there’s no multitude of unchewable micro chunks that make me immediately say, “nope!” Cocomo has all the joy of a robust tropical experience with none of the downsides. I can finally relax and savor the rewarding flavor of coconuts without compromise.
Organic? Yes. Unappetizing oil pool? No.
As yummy as it is, regular peanut butter can have the thick and pasty consistency of joint compound. Conversely, Cocomo has a luxuriously creamy texture that is more like a dip. You can spread it on bread, use it as an ingredient, pour it in a ramekin and dip your favorite foods, or just eat it with a spoon. And if you crave a thicker blend, store it in the refrigerator.
However, unlike other organic peanut butters, Cocomo doesn’t readily separate and create an unappetizing pool of oil at the top of the jar. That usually means no stirring is needed before use. Cocomo is always remarkably well blended, even if the jar hasn’t been opened in a few days. The company achieves this by using a responsibly sourced oil that comes from the fruit of palm trees. The ingredient is harvested, produced, and packaged using certified sustainable practices.
What does “certified sustainable practices” mean?
Typically, for an ingredient to be certified as using sustainable practices, it must be vetted by a third-party across a number of criteria. This is done so consumers can trust that a company’s products are truly environmentally friendly. The palm oil that Cocomo sources from its vendor is certified through The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
How to enjoy Cocomo
As we’ve hinted at, Cocomo is an extremely versatile food product. You can eat it straight out of the jar when you are craving a little energy boost or a splash of tropical nuttiness. It also goes great on bread or crackers and blends well with fruit, such as apples. As an ingredient, you can use it in any recipe that has peanut butter (just remember, the consistency is a little thinner than regular peanut butter). Cocomo is ideal in smoothies, yogurt bowls, and protein balls. Entertaining Options even liked how it played nice with spicy foods, such as tacos, jalapeños, and cajun recipes. Your experience will only be limited by your sense of adventure and willingness to try new flavor fusions that create unique tastes.
