Coconut Vinegar
Coconut vinegar is made from the sap of the coconut tree. The sap is called Tuba. Tuba is
collected at the top of the coconut tree and clips the stem that contains flowers. A bamboo
is used as a collection vessel so the sap will run into it. Every day the farmer climbs to the top
of the coconut tree to collect the coconut sap of each coconut tree.
Coconut sap when naturally fermented, produces the product coconut vinegar. It contains
vitamins and minerals like Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Potassium and Sodium.
The collected coconut sap is allowed to ferment into a natural coconut vinegar. Fermentation
takes 50-60 days. Unfiltered and unheated, it is then bottled and sealed fresh to protect its
goodness. The color of the vinegar changes as it ages, from cloudy white to clear light brown
as it further matures.
As the coconut vinegar ages, sediments will appear at the bottom and eventually become the
"mother vinegar". They eventually thicken and float. This is a natural characteristic of natural
coconut nectar vinegar and to savor its natural goodness, you have shake it well before use.
