Guest guest Posted September 26, 1999 Report Share Posted September 26, 1999 I spent two months last winter in the Dominican Republic. I lived in a remote fishing village and ate all native food (garden v egetables and rice, mostly). I also drank alot of liquid from coconuts. They are free - lying on the beach - or pay a native 30 cents and he will scale a tree, get the coconut, use a machete to open it for you and even cut the inside flesh out with his machete. I made coconut milk from the coconut then used it in making rice dishes. I also ate on a daily basis coconut bread which is baked by natives on the beach. I knew nothing about the healing qualities of coconut milk while I was there. But, what I did know is that I put on five pounds in two months. I was very under weight and wasting away. And that is my experience with coconuts! Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Peggy, try these links, they'll give you alot of information about coconut oil/milk and may answer your question. I posted them in a recent message where I was/am looking for a third person to split an order of Lauricidin. http://lauricidin.com/default.htm http://lauricidin.com/lauricidin.htm http://www.coconut-info.com/chronic_fatigue_syndrome.htm http://www.coconut-info.com/ http://www.wellbeing.com.au/84/pages/coconuts.html Coconut Milk Does coconut milk have the same antiviral/antibacterial properties as some of the other coconut products (i.e. cold-pressed coconut oil)? Can anyone tell me how coconut milk is made? Is it heated, and therefore potentially denatured, or is it cold-pressed? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Me too Virginia. Well, live and learn. Thanks for the info. I am going out today to see if I can find some. When you live in podunk county, sometimes it's a little hard to find the things you need. Love, Coconut milk , I was watching a cooking program and they said on there that the liquid in the coconut isn't the milk. This lady said that is the coconut water and the coconut milk is made by a process of using the white coconut flesh, cooking and then straining it. It kind of blew me away because I had always thought the coconut water was the milk. That is what my dad always called it. Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 You have answered your own question . coconut milk Hi all: Does anybody have any more specific info regarding coconut milk and oil and how it affects us O's? I was really getting into using it in curry dishes but wasn't feeling too great. Then I started thinking about the D'adamo -lectin theory and looked at what I was eating from the " avoid " list (:coconut milk, avocado, peanuts). So, as hard as it is to cut out these foods (plus, I'm trying to gain weight), I've stopped eating coconut and peanuts, and seem to be feeling better. And my GI tract seems to be functioning better too (if you know what I mean).. Any comments appreciated! michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi , We have purchased the no leaching or dissolving type of Tetra pack, this is an acid resistant, dissolve resistant tetra pack, the most expensive available. The plastic is an HDPE which many of us use, this is the liner. So you have plastic on both sides of Aluminum, then the milk carton material on the outside, it is very high quality. Now many people will drink out of cans or pouches which carry Aluminum and are probably much cheaper than this Tetra Pack. Before we had a coconut milk in glass from Sri Lanka but all of our products are coming from Indonesia now. In the future we will make both available to our customers. Thank-you for asking, Roxana From: Coconut Oil [mailto:Coconut Oil ] On Behalf Of Bag Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 2:52 PM Coconut Oil Subject: Re: Coconut Milk Roxanna, I hope those tetra paks are not lined with aluminum or plastic.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 , I spoke to Annette because we had originally been given a shelf life of 12 months three years ago but the product has always lasted longer. The shelf life is actually 24 months. The canned coconut milk has a bigger chance of having heavy metals in it. I can't wait for it to come, I've really missed it.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 According to the largest coconut oil importer in North America, Quality First International, the shelf life of common VCO is about four months, after which rancidity is detected. They are a huge importer of this product so they know their work. This begs the question, how then can coconut milk last any longer than that without refrigeration or irradiation? Cook it?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Duncan, our coconut milk is put through a flash cool process. We have been doing this for 5 years and have found many that have been good for two years although we put a 1-year shelf life on it. Given Coconut oil has a low moisture content, the shelf life is 2-3 years, it's considered a very shelf stable fat. Our moisture content on our centrifuged coconut oil is 0.16%. Right now we are speaking of coconut milk. Sooooooo... Our coconut cream, milk and water undergo a form of pasteurization. It's done through a flash cool process, heated to (158f) for 2 seconds, quickly cooled to 39.2f) Refrigeration temperature. It is held there for 30 min. quickly heated to (284f) for 4 seconds and quickly cooled to (86f) and packaged at that temperature. This coconut cream is approximately 24% <http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm> coconut oil, which means that one 250 ml. tetra pack carton contains about 4 tablespoons of <http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm> coconut oil This coconut milk is approximately 17% <http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm> coconut oil, which means that one 250 ml. tetra pack carton contains about 2 1/2 tablespoons of <http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm> coconut oil. It is milk that people can drink right out of the carton and it has become very popular. It is not often that you can find something that is so healthy, yet tastes so good. This coconut milk is smooth and creamy with a natural sweet coconut taste. It is a little thicker than cow's milk or nut milks, but it can be used in all milk applications. It is a wonderful base for smoothies. This milk can be refrigerated without any separation of the oil from the milk. We find this coconut milk superior to coconut milks that are bottled in cans. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Absolutely Roxana it seems a chilled centrifuged oil has a much longer shelf life; more than three years without detectable rancidity. Quality First was referring to VCO derived with more traditional processes, not chilled-centrifuged. Rancidity is noticeable in many of these VCOs after about 4 months, resulting in a " catch in the throat " referred to by many users. QFI indicates they have to sell this " ordinary " VCO in 3-4 months or it's junk.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Duncan, That makes better sense but you see our oils are not junky. So I didn't understand initially why you were referring to such a short shelf life. Yes, the catch In the throat generally denotes a higher free fatty acid profile in the coconut oil therefore the oil is going rancid on you.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I hate to call this pasteurization because true pasteurization is different than what we are doing.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Duncan,  My husband makes excellent vco and no heat is applied nor is it " flash freeze " treated. His oil can last even 5 years, believe me. The trick in having good oil is in (1) controlling the moisture content. Most producers add the coconut water or plain water when they squeeze out the milk - cold press. WE DON'T. We use pure coconut milk. So there is not much water there. Moisture is evident at the bottom of the oil when it is present. They appear as tiny clear bubbles and should be taken out.  (2)  Then another point to consider is filtering. If the oil is not filtered thoroughly, then it will also go rancid quickly. Many people use muslin cloth to filter. This is no good. And one has to filter many many times until there are no floaters in the oil at all.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 , We are speaking of Coconut milk though not Coconut oil. I agree with you that when making Coconut oil from Coconut milk there is a much longer shelf life as there is in Centrifuged coconut oil.
