Re: Coconut Milk--for Kris

[Guest guest]

On my last purchase I bought the coconut oil from

http://www.coconutoil-online.com/ .

It is pure, and the best I have ever tried.

Has anyone tried Tropical Traditions coconut oil? It is organic and

produced in the traditional ways of native peoples. I find it quite good.

Kat,

Have you had Mt. Banahaw Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions? If so

how does that compare and contrast with this Coconut Oil Supreme from

Coconutoil-online? I've only gotten tropical traditions and Spectrum and I

much prefer TT to the Spectrum stuff.

--

I think was asking about coconut milk though not oil. I can't help

there, I've started making fresh coconut cream by juicing a cocnut and that

is heavenly, mmmmm

Sorry--I meant coconut MILK not the oil. I have the TT oil and love it. Still

looking for a good, flavorful coco. milk, though. I find Thai Kitchen to be a

bit bland.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I have tried a number of different brands, but don't believe any were the

Tropical traditions.

I think it was from this group who told me about www.coconutoil-online,

and he said he preferred it over Spectrum. Thought I would give it a try,

and I REALLY like it.

Can't explain exactly, but to me it is not greasy, and has a clear, clean,

crisp taste. I ordered 3 pounds so I won't need any for a while, but when I

do I will order again this brand again!

Hi ,

Have you tried making your own? You make it like regular nut milk.

Soak organic dried flakes in water overnight and put the whole thing (water

and all) in a blender (I use VitaMix) and blend for about 60 seconds.

Strain and you have coconut milk!

*Depending upon the recipe, you don't always need to strain.

Hi ,

I did a bit of a taste test as I was using up a can of Thai Kitchen coconut

milk and opening a can of Native Forest brand. It's not a good test, because

the TK had been open for a couple days. I think the Native Forest was a bit

tastier, but theri wasn't a big difference. The color of the NF was whiter,

where the TK was grayer, but I think that varies from can to can. I'm going

with the NF at this point, just to support organic - I hope they are worthy

of my support. It's a bit more expensive, but not a great deal.

Peace,

Thanks, Kris--I was a bit concerned about the other additives in the NF brand.

Maybe TK has additives too but they just don't list them.

ps-thank you for the kefir grains...I'll send you a check for the postage soon.

They are nice and round and even thickened my milk up a bit (with my other

grains the milk didn't thicken).
