Nothing else!
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 very finely, 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 drink. Many people put it in their coffee as a non-dairy creamer. 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. See also recipes
below.
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.
