Coconut Jam

Coconut Jam is a sweet coconut-based spread best known in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and nearby regions. It’s often spread on toast, used in breakfast sandwiches, or served as a filling for pastries and snacks, with a rich, custardy texture and a mild coconut aroma. It is fairly energy-dense and contains 43g of sugar per 100g, so it’s more of a treat than an everyday staple. Coconut jam also provides a little protein and some minerals such as manganese and selenium, but it is still mostly a sweet spread. Because of its high sugar content, Coconut Jam is best enjoyed in moderation.
