Vemondo Coconut & Rice Milk — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Vemondo Coconut & Rice Milk by Vemondo OKAY — score 60/90.

A watery plant milk with no added sugar, but it leans on a triple gum stabilizer stack to fake the body real milk has.

Why this verdict

• No added sugar and no refined oils
• No artificial colors or flavors, only natural coconut flavor
• But it's 90%+ water with a triple gum stabilizer stack (guar + gellan + xanthan)
• Nutritionally thin: essentially 0g protein and very few nutrients

Ingredients (8)

• Water (safe) — Added back as a filler/texture agent; harmless but dilutes.
• Coconut milk (5.3%) (safe) — Real coconut cream and water; provides a little fat and flavor, but only a tiny fraction.
• Rice (3.3%) (safe) — Gives a mild sweetness and body; refined carbohydrate but a whole ingredient here.
• Sea Salt (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance.
• Natural coconut flavor (moderate) — A flavoring to boost the coconut taste since actual coconut content is low; natural, not artificial.
• Guar Gum (moderate) — Thickener/texturizer typical of processed baked goods.
• gellan gum (moderate) — Fermentation-derived stabilizer/gelling agent; safe in these amounts but a texture engineering additive.
• Xanthan Gum (safe) — Common thickener that gives the sauce its body; safe in these amounts.
