With seven ingredients or less, Kokada makes decadently flavored coconut-based spreads that differentiate themselves from products like almond or cashew butter. The peanut-free spreads are incredibly versatile and they can be layered on toast, blended into smoothies, stirred into coffee, drizzled over ice cream or used in baking. Part of the brand's challenge is to educate consumers on its many uses and benefits. As Mr. Golestani, chief operating officer, said “Because it’s a new product, they don’t know that they need it; they don’t know that they want it. We have to introduce it to them.”

These coconut-based spreads are made with ingredients like coconut and carrageenan (a thickener derived from red seaweed) and coconut treacle (a sap from coconut palms.) Kokada's range of flavors includes Cinnamon Toast, Mint Chocolate and Brownie.
