Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hmm, interesting. The guar gum in most coconut milk is in there as an emulsifier. The TJ's " Lite " coconut milk isn't labeled as having guar gum, but it sure is smooth and looks emulsified. I have several cans of coconut milk that I bought in Canada that states " no sugar or additives " on the label and it definitely is NOT emulsified - very lumpy and separated. I need to find a number for the company and call to find out for sure. We're mostly dairy free and I have used coconut milk for years in things like cream soup and asian recipes. I miss it!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Marilyn, Yeah, I do understand about undeclared ingredients. Believe me, I've been gluten free, soy free and dairy free for years and I know how to make my own stuff. Seriously, I would be happy if I could just buy canned tomato products, canned pumpkin and canned coconut milk. I don't think I really would need much else. Those 3 things would make my life MUCH easier, so there's always wishful thinking, right? Thanks! Liz > Liz, > > The coconut cream from Tropical Traditions is in > a jar.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi Liz, The coconut cream I'm referring to is this: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/coconut_cream_concentrate.htm Only ingredient is concentrated coconut. It's legal and delicious, but advanced b/c coconut is fibrous. Ellen 12 y/o dd scd since 5/06 med-free for one year > Is coconut cream in a can? If so, why is it legal when canned coconut milk without guar gum isn't? These rules are so confusing some times! > > Thanks, > Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
