Ben Tre coconut jelly cubes are light, cooling snacks made with fresh coconut water. They have a crisp yet tender texture, a naturally sweet taste, and a delicate coconut aroma. More than just a thirst-quencher on hot days, coconut jelly offers a refreshing flavor, enjoyable for all ages and versatile enough to transform into a variety of delightful desserts.
1. What are Ben Tre coconut jelly cubes?
Ben Tre has long been known as the coconut capital of Vietnam, with the largest coconut-growing area in the country. Coconut water is considered a valuable source of nutrition, rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, along with essential amino acids beneficial to our health.
However, for years, the water was often discarded after the coconut meat was taken for food processing. From this concern, Mr. Nguyễn Văn Thứ, Chairman of G.C Food JSC, came up with the idea of turning what seemed like a “forgotten” ingredient into Vietnamese coconut jelly. From this innovation, the value of Vietnam’s coconuts was raised significantly, creating extra income for farmers while helping local produce reach global markets.
GC Food has introduced a wide range of high-quality Vietnamese coconut jelly products: from raw jelly used as an ingredient in various dishes to convenient, ready-to-eat packaged jelly.
Among them, the standout product is Pura Coconut Jelly. It is produced at Vinacoco (Cô Cô Vietnam JSC), the largest coconut jelly factory in the country.
Every Pura jelly is made entirely from fresh Ben Tre coconut water, processed with Pasteurization technology on a modern production line that meets international certifications such as FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, Halal, and HACCP. Thanks to this, the product preserves the natural freshness of coconut water while ensuring a safe, light, sweet, and nutritious snack that’s also good for our health.
2. What makes GC Food’s coconut jelly special?
Every year, GC Food’s Vinacoco factory processes around 6 million liters of coconut water. That is about 250 hectares of Ben Tre coconuts, which produce more than 15,000 tons of finished coconut jelly. These figures highlight both the scale of production and the sustainability of its raw material supply.
In 2015, GC Food invested in the Vinacoco factory located in Đồng Nai. The facility combines advanced European-imported machinery with in-house engineered equipment, creating a unique production line. The closed-loop process consists of 17 stages, each tightly monitored to ensure consistent quality. As a result of this, GC Food’s Ben Tre coconut jelly has earned prestigious international certifications, including FSSC 22000, Halal, and other global food safety standards.
Beyond technology, Vinacoco also focuses on a sustainable supply chain by partnering with hundreds of Ben Tre farmers, building a strong connection from farm to factory. This collaboration has enabled Vinacoco coconut jelly to successfully reach demanding markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe.
GC Food’s coconut products can be easily paired with fresh fruit, yogurt, or juices. Along with its refreshing taste, it also provides vitamins, boosts fiber intake, supports digestion, cools the body, and helps maintain balanced nutrition.
