What is Coconut Cream ConcentrateTM?

Coconut Cream Concentrate is certified organic whole coconut meat in concentrated form. It contains no additives* (not even water). The dried coconut meat is ground into a very fine powder, giving it a creamy consistency due to its high fat content. Since it is 70% fat, it is a rich source of pure coconut oil. Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil.

How is Coconut Cream ConcentrateTM used?

You can mix 1 or 2 teaspoons of Coconut Cream Concentrate with water or juice to make a creamy coconut milk drink. It is also an excellent ingredient for cooking and baking. Because of its low moisture content, it can be mixed right in the batter or dough of breads and pastries. It can also enhance soups, be blended with smoothies, or made into ice cream. Many people just eat it straight, or spread it on breads and crackers, because it is so delicious! For some great recipes, get the Virgin Coconut Oil book.

Note: in colder weather Coconut Cream Concentrate will become hard, due to the high amount of natural coconut oil and fiber. It needs to be warmed to liquefy. But this is a food, not a cooking oil. If you use high heat, it will burn.

How is Coconut Cream ConcentrateTM different from canned coconut milks and creams?

Commercial coconut milks and creams are generally sold in cans, or sometimes boxes and tetra packs. The main ingredient in these products is water. If the fat content is 17%, it is called "coconut milk." If the fat content is 24%, it is called "coconut cream." But most of what you are purchasing is water. Coconut Cream Concentrate, on the other hand, has NO water, and is pure coconut. Unlike the commercial varieties, it also contains ALL the fiber of the coconut. Pure, dried coconut contains more fiber per gram than even oat bran! This fiber has been stripped out of commercial coconut milks and coconut creams. Also, almost all commercial coconut milks and creams have additives to prevent the water from separating from the coconut oil, and also have sulfites added to keep it white longer. Sometimes these additives are so small, that the FDA does not require them to list them on their labels as ingredients. Coconut Cream Concentrate, however, contains NO additives and NO preservatives at all: it is 100% natural coconut made from certified organic Philippine coconuts grown without pesticides or fertilizers. Coconut Cream Concentrate comes packaged in 1 pint or 1 quart glass jars.

I love coconut milk... especially because it's only $2 a can...

this a little bit expensive... takes away from the thrill...

I'd probably go through that $9 jar in 1 session...

I think I'm gonna stick to my $2 cans...

good to know that this product is out there though.

I thought the same, but it actually cheaper because it's not diluted. I have ta run... but i'll follow up later.
 
Thanks for the info....Since it is a concentrate, I would think that I would need to add just a little bit to my various conditioning concoctions rather than like a quarter of a can or the more 'liquidy" coconut milk, which I sometimes do not even want to mess with because it is liquid and can make my concoctions too runny, but I love the results.
 
thanks for posting. i loooovvee coconut milk. It's a great pre-poo!! I will try some of this stuff!
 
Oh, this sounds perfect!!! I'd love to be able to get the benefits of coconut milk without having to deal with the drippies - I HATE the drippies....
 
K, back *sorry about that* and ya'll are VERY WELCOME. I've learned sooo much from ya'll. It feels good to give back.

In a 16oz jar, there are 96 servings. A serving size is 1 tsp. Per the jar, to make coconut milk add 1 tsp to 6-8oz of water. So each jar gives you about 48- 14oz cans of coconut milk for $9.00 + shipping. Then if you get the buy one get one... win/win (IMO). Mine has lasted over a year and I use it almost every other week to do a combo of the coconut (lime omitted) + yogurt natural relaxer.

If I were trying to use straight coconut milk, I wouldnt thin the product out that much (14 oz water). I'd just use the can. But if you want to add coconut cream to some of your blends and dont want the extra water/mess... this might be for you.

This sounds awesome....I love coconut milk for shikakai treatments, but this sounds like something I would love in my morning protein shake. Thanks so much!!!!
 
The coconut milk sounds great, but the raw honey sounds divine. Since both are on sale, I ordered. I'm looking forward to receiving this - I'm not sure if I want to try it on my hair or eat it.
 
I'm thinking of buying some young coconuts and just making my own. I detest ordering things.
 
Thanks for posting this, I am off to order this right now. I plan on using this for my hair and smoothies.

IA that this stuff is amazing. I was suprised at how thick and smooth it is. It's much more cost effective than getting coconut milk.
