Many people have questions: how to use it, what kind of oily mass is on top. And immediately the desire to even try it disappears.
You should not make hasty conclusions that the product has spoiled, take it for return, or forget it for a long time in the farthest corner of the closet.
All seeds and nuts contain oils. When grinding them, it begins to stand out. Ground nuts and seeds are called urbechs, or pastes.
In our case, a paste made from coconut pulp. It is made from dried coconut pulp, or coconut flakes. When grinding, it heats up to 45 degrees, which preserves all vitamins, macro- and microelements, but kills pathogenic microflora.
Immediately after production it has a liquid consistency. During storage, the oil begins to separate, which is quite natural for a natural product without emulsifiers. The pulp itself sank down.
When stirring the paste in a liquid state, being warm or at room temperature, it takes on its original appearance.
Since such products are stored in our distribution centers in a refrigerated room, the stores also maintain a low temperature, the paste is cooled - as a result, we observe from above, which is sold separately, and the pulp hidden under it.
To turn this mass into an attractive and edible product, you need to prepare it first.
We make a water bath - place a container in a pan of water, the bottom of which will lightly touch the water, or simply place a jar of pasta in a pan of water.
Place on medium heat; no need to bring to a boil. Warm water will begin to do its job - the butter will begin to melt, the pulp will soften. As a result, the mass will simply be stirred until smooth.
After the water bath, the paste will be liquid, slightly warm - many may not like the taste, but it is in this state that it is suitable for various confectionery and other products.
After this procedure, you don’t have to be afraid that it will separate again, even if you put it in the refrigerator.
Many people like to eat it in its pure form, but in general, you can come up with a lot of different goodies from coconut paste - from candies and bars to cake icing or “milk”. It can also be used in savory dishes. There is room for imagination - don’t be afraid to experiment!
Hello my readers!
When I got acquainted with the 4fresh website, I discovered so many delicious pastas, urbechs and other goodies that I barely have time to eat them. With such variety, you want to buy everything.
I have been looking at coconut paste and coconut urbech for a long time. I love coconuts very much, but what stopped me was that the paste was not sweet.
And adding honey or another sweetener to it (as in Urbech) is quite problematic.
Place of purchase: IM 4fresh.
Price: 336 rubles.
Volume: 300 gr.
Is coconut butter a superfood or do we just love coconuts? Yes, she is fat, but these fats are medium chain triglycerides, which relieve the liver and speed up metabolism. It's a spread, but it contains more insoluble fiber than bran! It helps minimize blood sugar fluctuations - while delivering natural sweetness without added sugars or sweeteners.
Coconut paste really a bit sweet by her own. This is its huge advantage and the manufacturer did not lie at all.
Coconut paste is a creamy consistency substance with a pleasant, sweet taste and pronounced coconut aroma.
If the paste is solid (and most of the time) it is like that, then you can only chop it off with a knife and then in small pieces.
This is a huge disadvantage and inconvenience of the paste.
At room temperature her cannot be stored, but it’s of no use in the refrigerator.
If you melt the pasta every time, it will spoil.
There are several options for use: make candy from it, add it to your morning porridge (the paste will melt on its own depending on the temperature of the porridge), melt the required amount and eat it with a spoon with tea, and also add it to smoothies and baked goods.
Warm up the jar of paste a little, stir well and mix half and half with finely grated carrots, apple or mashed black currants, sprinkle lemon juice. Form into balls or use ice cube trays. In the cold, the treat will harden and taste like delicate fruit curds.
When the paste is soft, it be sure to stir well for a uniform consistency. Because it separates into pulp and oil.
Coconut paste has a very fatty taste, since it is made from coconuts (more precisely from their pulp), so you cannot eat a lot of it with tea.
The amount of paste per day for an adult is 2 tablespoons.
Compound:
Dried coconut pulp.
In addition to being delicious, the pasta is also quite healthy and contains:
A large number of valuable amino acids (nylon, palmitic, stearic and others).Among them, the main value is lauric acid. In addition to semi-finished nut products, it is also found in human breast milk.
The uniqueness of this acid is that it protects the human body from the harmful effects of all kinds of viruses and infections.
Minerals (iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and potassium). Vitamins (C, B1, B2 and E). Monosaccharides (glucose and fructose).
Vegetable fats and protein.
Coconut paste should definitely be consumed when you lose energy, chronic fatigue and seasonal vitamin deficiency.
In fact, apart from its pleasant taste and healthfulness, there is nothing supernatural in coconut paste. It is not very convenient to use; if you make sweets from it, it will run out quickly.
It is not possible to consume it every day due to its fat content and rather rich taste.
Once opened, the jar can be stored in the refrigerator for within six months.

I brought home a coconut -
Everything went wrong.
No matter how many times I tried to inject,
But the coconut did not give in.

Hello, dear ecoholics!
And I’m coming to you with another tasty treat.
One of my “little” desires, which I still can’t fulfill, is to learn how to choose good coconuts, chop them correctly and make all sorts of tasty things out of them. It would seem that splitting a coconut is not such a tricky science, but so far it has eluded me. In the meantime, I am constantly in search of good coconuts (probably they are simply not delivered to our region), I buy coconut products in stores.
I admit honestly, I am a real coconut maniac. I also got my family hooked on this sweet “diet”. True, they did not particularly resist, but on the contrary, they happily eat the prepared delicious and healthy desserts. Coconut cream, coconut sugar, coconut flour, coconut flakes, coconut oil, coconut chips... And this is not the entire list of what I have tried recently. But the latest coconut product caused a flurry of admiration.
Meet, natural cheese-pressed coconut pulp paste from the Russian brand "Casa Kubania".
All Casa Kubania products are made from the highest quality plant materials and do not contain palm oil or lactose. Most of assortment is produced using cold technology (RAW) or gentle heat treatment at low temperatures is used, which allows you to completely preserve all the beneficial vitamins and microelements of the raw materials in the final product.
It's nice to know that the manufacturer cares not only about the decent quality and benefits of the products produced for its customers, but also about the ecology of the planet as a whole - the containers in which the products are produced are made of either glass or recyclable plastic.
The brand has a fairly wide range of food products: wonderful tofu pates with the addition of a wide variety of vegetables and spices, nut butters both raw and fried, pesto sauce. "Casa Kubania" does not use animal products; they can be consumed during Lent, as well as for vegetarians.
Another huge plus of the "Casa Kubania" brand is affordable prices for absolutely all products . For example, the cost of this hefty jar weighing 200 grams varies within just 200 rubles . Quite accessible, and what a benefit!
The paste itself is of a uniform consistency, although the manufacturer indicates on the label that natural peeling of the oil is possible due to the absence of emulsifiers and thickeners.
Remember the interesting property of coconut oil that it solidifies at temperatures below 24 degrees and becomes liquid when the temperature is above this mark? Of course, coconut pulp will not be liquid, but at room temperature it is soft and pliable.
If you put the jar in the refrigerator (which is where it needs to be stored after opening), then the paste becomes quite hard and there is no other way to “remove” it from the jar except by carefully breaking off a piece with a knife. Or, as an option, take it out of the refrigerator for a couple of hours and you can again take it with a spoon.
This is what the pasta looks like after storing in the refrigerator
And so, when it stays at room temperature for a couple of hours
The shelf life of the paste is 12 months, and after opening only one month . But believe me, it’s unlikely to stay with you longer than three days. Although I honestly struggled with the feeling of eating it as quickly as possible, it is very tasty. Therefore, every time my hand reached for the paste again, I immediately forced myself to look at the label with the indicated nutritional value with a fat value of 65 grams and a total calorie content of 595 Kcal. This slightly reduced my ardor. True, not for long.
And what a delicious taste the pasta has! This is not a bounty with Raffaello with a bunch of flavors, but a real delicate, juicy and sweet coconut taste. According to the manufacturer, to create such an amazing paste, they receive the ripest and juiciest coconuts straight from Indonesia. I willingly believe it. It would seem that the composition is extremely simple - just coconut pulp and that’s it. But how delicious!
Over the past month, I’ve already bought my third jar and I just can’t stop - the taste of coconut paste doesn’t get boring at all, but on the contrary, once you try it, you want to eat it all the time.
