Trader Joe's Organic Coconut Milk, 400mL

When TJ's set out to carry a coconut milk, they had three main goals: One, they wanted a coconut milk that can be certified organic. Two, they wanted a product that has no gums added to it. Three, of course, they wanted a milk that tastes great. TJ’s Organic Coconut Milk scores on all three counts!

TJ's Sri Lankan supplier starts with organically-grown King Coconut. As true “coconut scientists,” these experts know how to press shredded coconut meat at different stages and blend the resulting milks to create the exact flavour profile we are looking for. It’s a clean coconutty flavor, with a mild coconut aroma. The texture is smooth and milky—not to too thick or too thin. Amazingly, they’ve achieved this texture without the use of thickeners or gums—additives that are present in most of the other coconut milk brands you’ll find in the marketplace. The only thing added to TJ's Coconut Milk is a small amount of filtered water that helps to balance the fat content.

Cook with it—our Organic Coconut Milk is excellent in curries. Or, drink it—it is fantastic in smoothies, as a substitute for dairy in tea and coffee, or straight from the can (though we recommend pouring it into a nice smooth-rimmed drinking glass first).
