Nata De Coco (Added folder in links area)

[Guest guest]

Has anyone here ever made Nata? Its a chewy fermented gelatinous

food made from coconut water, coconut milk, pineapple juice, other

fruit juices, or cooking broth from squash and pumpkin. I have a

feeling that its somehow related to the kombucha scoby because of

the cellulose production which makes it chewy. I created a folder in

the LINKS section with some recipes on making the fermented nata and

some other info. If anyone knows of a source to buy nata

fermentation starter in the USA please post. Here is a link to a

nice article about eating nata:

(Thanks to Jim on the Coconut Oil for sharing the link.)
