Guest guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi . I prefer to make my coconut milk from fresh coconut which I break up into pieces and whizz in a blender with hot water, but you may well be able to do it with pre-shredded. I would suggest that you put a cup of coconut and a cup of hot (not boiling) water in a glass bowl and leave it to steep for a while. When it has cooled to a temperature you can handle pour through fine gauze (muslin or a nylon jelly bag) then pull up the sides of the gauze, twist and squeeze tightly. I find when I use fresh coconut that I can do that twice and it is still creamy enough to use as milk, but you may wish to taste it at that point to see if you could get away with putting another cup of hot water through it. You may need to experiment the first few times until you get the ratio of water to coconut to your taste. Less water will make coconut cream, more water, coconut milk. I love coconut milk and use it all the time. Sometimes I use fresh coconut, sometimes tinned (not the hydrogenated rubbish) and sometimes I use Maggi powdered coconut milk. As has been mentioned, coconut water is the clear liquid that is poured out through the holes of a fresh coconut. Hope this helps. > > i just purchased a 3 lb. bag of organic shredded coconut and would like to make coconut water. does anyone have a recipe/ > > diana > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 i used 1 cup of shredded coconut in 1-1/2 c. hot water, then i strain it thoroughly. after it cooled, i added some vanilla and some stevia to sweeten it. i get the shredded coconut for a good price and am unable to get coconuts and it's difficult for me to open them to get the milk, so this works for me. thanks, diana > > > > i just purchased a 3 lb. bag of organic shredded coconut and would like to make coconut water. does anyone have a recipe/ > > > > diana > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I have a jar of coconut cream but I don't like it. Can I use it to make coconut milk or coconut water?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hi, ; I don't know if you've ever tried fresh ones in oriental markets or not? I live at northern CA, I buy whole box of fresh young coconuts from Asian supermarket. Since I never had those fresh ones before I don't know what " toast " taste like. To me, those ones are very refreshing. How do I tell if those ones are irradiated? (they're from Thailand). Anyone has idea if we should not eat those fresh ones? thanks -- In Coconut Oil , Bag <@...> wrote: > > Coconut water sold here in the US contains SUGAR. > I am from the Philippines where coconut is in great abundance.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 It's hard to find unsweetened coconut water but there out there, only thing is that the store near my house that has a lot of different brands, appears now to only have one that is unsweetened and I feel it's overpriced. A few days ago I bought one 12 oz. can of " Conchita " brand at Walmart (in the Hispanic food isle) because it was less than a dollar but still, it's not something I could buy a lot of to always keep at hand. I haven't checked at other supermarkets but I'm sure the story is much the same, and this is here in FL where coconut products are more abundant than in other states...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 The good place to shop for Coconut water is Amazon. com. I have been buying few different brands from there.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 What about this one: http://www.onenaturalexperience.com/ I bought one of these at a health food store. I read where someone used drops of coconut water to remove (?) cataracts and my husband has a bad one from a cornea transplant operation. His body produced scar tissue over the corneas and he won't have another operation. I thought that I would try the coconut water and see what kind of results we get. We are both diabetic and I have been having problems with my eyes too and thought that I would try drops in my eyes too to see what happens. I haven't started the drops yet because I want some kind of bottle to store the coconut water in. I don't want to leave it in the " box " it comes in. I will also refrigerate it because the container of 11.2 ozs is one serving so doesn't say if it needs to be refrigerated if it isn't all consumed at one time. I am going to run back up to where I bought my " box " of coconut water and recheck the price. I think I only paid $1.19 for it which means over a $6 savings from ordering the same 12 " boxes " directly from the online store.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The Vita Coco does not said. Made from " green coconut " , but the O.N.E. Does said in their website. Another brand " Zico " , has a good taste. Wholefoods store is good but, Amazon can get better deal over time, because they always have on sale on these in random. Plus, over $25 dollars FREE shipping and NO sales tax.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The label should indicate whether any sugar was added. Even non-sweetened coconut water I have purchased has more carbs that I would want because of my diabetes. Maybe if I could read the label of a brand claiming the water is from young coconuts, the carbs might be less.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Doug Kaufmann, author of The Fungus Link books and host of the TV show " Know the Cause " <http://www.knowthecause.com> sustains that cataracts and diabetes are caused by fungal infestation. Here's a page that lists all the conditions associated with fungus: http://www.lakeshoreguardian.com/_2007/042007/cohoon.php <http://www.lakeshoreguardian.com/_2007/042007/cohoon.php> Since coconuts produce a lot of lauric acid which is anti-fungal it would make sense that coconut water could work. A friend also told me that a health food store owner once told her that she knew a woman who dissolved her cataracts by putting a drop of raw honey in her eyes (raw honey has anti-fungal properties too...).

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Unsweetened coconut water has around 14 g. of carbs per 12 oz. can (the average of sweetened brands is 30...). If a coconut is too young it won't have enough water, same if it's dry/full. Besides, the water of fuller coconuts tastes different (stronger) so I'm pretty sure all the coconut water out there is from as young coconuts as possible. I grew up in an island with lots of coconut trees and whenever I went to the beach there would be street vendors who would cut the top off with their " machete " for the customers to drink and then when we were finished they'd split the coconut and fashion a spoon from the coconut " bark " so we could eat the soft meat - yum!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Ooo, raw honey! My grandpa raised bees and didn't have any health problems that I know of. He did use glasses when reading and he was stooped over like he had osteoporosis problems but he walked his neighborhood and helped out his neighbors until my aunt put him and my grandmother in a nursing home. I think we have some people selling raw honey on the roadsides. I will have to get some and try it. Any idea how long it takes? Probably at *least* a few weeks.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hmm, I didn't even notice if they had a bigger sized one but we don't have a Whole Foods here or Arkansas, which is near us.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Modern Western medicine has this belief that each and every condition & disease has a specific cause. A disease or a condition may be caused by dozens of different causes. Different people with the same symptoms may have their problem caused by different organisms, metabolic imbalance, or toxic chemicals. I have been studying type II diabetes since 2001. Some people may have a genetic weakness which prevents the pancreas from putting out insulin as they age. Others may have insulin resistance from eating the wrong kind of fats. I would not be surprised to learn that diabetes could be caused by fungal infestation. However, to use a slightly different analogy, yeast overgrowth is often seen as a " cause " of many problems, when it can be the result of internal imbalances which allow the opportunistic infection to flourish. Often there are several " causes " operating at once. So putting all ones focus on dealign with one single cause may not have the effect desired. Take cataracts, for example. A friend of mine just had cataract surgery. The cataracts were caused by a " rare side effect " of some medicine he takes. So not all cataracts are caused by fungus.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 yesterday i bought a carton of Harvest Bay coconut water on sale for $3.50. that is more than one serving. perhaps i should go back and get a few more, as it's usually $4.99. i love coconut water more than any other beverage. for eyes, would one put a small amount of the water in a dropper bottle? it seems that would work. also, how can i find out if it has been radiated? diana > > > >> Coconut water sold here in the US contains SUGAR. > >> I am from the Philippines where coconut is in great abundance.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Yes, that is what I had planned. I had just gone and bought 2 amber bottles capped with eyedroppers. Also, the box that the coconut water came in doesn't say to refridgerate after opening but I am supposing it is because it is only one serving and is expected to be drank at one time. It doesn't say it was irradiated so if anyone knows the answer to that, I'd like to know too. I bought it at a health food store and expected that if it had been irradiated or pasturized it should say so on the box.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 My beliefs lie somewhere in the middle of yours, I don't necessarily believe that " all " conditions have a specific cause but I also don't believe there's " dozens " of cause for any given condition. My biggest problem actually is with the word " cause " to be honest. More times than not when I make a search about the " cause of anything " the most inconclusive reasons are given as a cause. It's true that everyone who casually or intendedly has cured a number of people with the same conditions believe that they have found the " only " cause of a problem (i.e. Dr. Simoncini & Doug Kaufmann) and at this point I really look past that since I've learned better but in many cases it's no less true that some of the things you mention are nothing but ways of deteriorating the body so those " opportunistic " organism have a chance to multiply and wreak havoc in our organs and not necessarily the other way around which is the way " modern Western medicine " things this. I really wonder why it is that with about 400 known to date types of fungi that can cause disease so many people find it unlikely that they can be responsible for serious damage to our health. Dr. A. V. Constantini and others have been studying this for a long time and they have found that there are fungi capable of changing their host's DNA so why is it so hard to believe that they can really be the REAL culprit of the diseases you say are " caused " by metabolic imbalances or toxic chemicals. As I see it and like I said before, those to me are not causes but only different ways to make the human body " fertile ground " for those organisms to do what they do best: compost! In a way though this is kind of like the chicken and the egg, but maybe more so in the case of Candida since it's a normal component of the human instestinal flora. But when it comes to the other 399 species of fungi you just have to wonder; many of those hitch a ride onto our bodies via food, objects we touch, or the air we breath just like bacteria or viruses so they can cause serious disease just like them, worse yet, many have been proven to have immuno-suppresive qualities, such as antibiotics. Cyclosporin, the drug given to organ transplant patients is a mycotoxin, is it not? So then again, what's so hard to believe about that? The very way houses and buildings are made in the U.S. (and maybe Canada) insures that this problem is perpetuated, wood and other materials don't really last in good condition as people would like and they're very prone to harboring humidity much more than concrete block or brick construction as used in other countries. And the only danger of the SAD (Standard American Diet) is not that it contains a lot of junk food, it's the most of that junk food adds insult to injury because they're largely grain-based in they contain mycotoxins which accumulate in the body. And about your friend, neither you nor I could prove nor disprove that the medicine he took caused some kind of reaction that favoured the growth of fungus in his eyes (take the example of mercury facilitating Candida overgrowth...). Just saying 'cause I still think it's possible there are other " reasons " too. Anyway, we are all free to believe what we choose but we should leave the freedom to others to consider all possibilities, all it takes for someone to make up their minds is to do their own personal research and see if what they find makes sense to them or not but they can't explore a direction that they've never been made aware of, can they?
