Organic Coconut Milk

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

Our 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 flavor 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 our 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).
