Hey Boo Coconut Spread - Premium Srikaya — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Hey Boo Coconut Spread - Premium Srikaya by Hey Boo TREAT — score 45/90.
A simple, genuinely clean coconut jam — but it's still essentially sweetened coconut cream, with sugar as the #2 ingredient. A delicious indulgence, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #2 ingredient — this is a sweet indulgence, not a daily spread
- Coconut milk base makes it dense in saturated fat and calories
- But the list is short and clean: no artificial colors, flavors, or emulsifier stacks
- Carob gum is a natural plant-based thickener, not an industrial additive
Ingredients (6)
- Coconut milk (54%) (moderate) — Real coconut, the wholesome base — but it's high in saturated fat and calorie-dense.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
- egg yolk (safe) — Used as an emulsifier; not a health concern in this amount.
- Sea Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium to the canning brine; modest amount but worth rinsing to reduce.
- citric acid (safe) — Common acidulant for tartness; harmless in this amount but can be rough on tooth enamel.
- Carob gum (locust bean gum) (safe) — A natural gum from carob seeds used to thicken and set; well-tolerated, not an industrial emulsifier.
