Let's Do Organic Do. - Creamed Coconut Unsweetened 7 Oz. 180708

The liquid is packed in plastic bag which is not healthy or tusted at all

These are nice but if you want a very smooth creamy texture, you should strain off the fibres first.

I NEVER write reviews, but I love this stuff so much, and I thought I could help others out by describing how I use it. This is so much better than canned coconut milk and definitely better than the boxed coconut milk by So Delicious. One 7 oz package makes 1 quart of coconut milk or 1 pint of coconut cream, plus about 1/4 cup of coconut flour.I add the package to my blender along with a quart (or pint for cream) of boiling water and blend away. Then I strain it through a chinois (cheesecloth will also work) while it is still hot to remove the coconut flour. Sometimes I will add an extra tablespoon or two of coconut oil before blending to make it extra creamy.I hate wasting anything, so I use the solids strained out of the coconut milk for coconut flour. I just spread the coconut solids out on a baking sheet and dehydrate at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 hours. Voila! Coconut flour! Use 1/3 c coconut flour plus 1 egg to substitute 1 cup of all purpose flour in baking recipes.EDIT 3/8/2018Still love this stuff and have found even more uses! The cream makes great coffee creamer, and I've even made coconut yogurt with it by adding milk kefir grains overnight once cooled. Probiotic, creamy coconut deliciousness!

The folks giving bad reviews on this product don't seem to understand that creamed coconut is not the same as condensed coconut milk. It contains coconut-meat solids and is pulpier/thicker, and will not taste like coconut milk by thinning it out with water.What you get: inside the green box you see in the picture is a plastic-wrapped block of creamed coconut. Unless your house is very warm, it will be rock-hard. I fill a bowl with hot tap water and immerse the entire package, then knead it with my fingers after a few minutes. Repeat a couple of times, then snip the package open and pour/squeeze it out like toothpaste for use in cooking. If you don't use the entire package all at once it will resolidify; that's not because there's anything "wrong" with it, that's just what real coconut cream does. That's why I love these little packages, as opposed to the 16-oz jars of other brands that they sell at Whole Foods Market.

So with Paleo AIP there's no guar gum which means no store-bought coconut milk. Hence, I was willing to give this product another try. The first time I bought it in the store (years ago), it wasn't what I expected, it was awkward trying to cook with it. I really didn't see the point of the way this is prepared compared to canned coconut milk. But, this weighs less and in this "dry" form it can be prepared without the additives that are usually even in organic coconut milk.Making coconut milk with this product will remain my "go to" long after this diet is over. It's that yummy and less expensive per serving. It requires a high speed blender and hot water (to start). Then after it is fully mixed, I add cool water for the desired dilution. You can filter any bits of coconut or add your own emulsifier. I just shake it before pouring a chilled glass of creamy coconut milk. Delish!

Very creamy coconut base. We squeezed one package to blend it and then put in the fridge to firm it up. Then we cut it in chunks and kept it in a container in fridge to use for smoothies. It's a frickin delicious addition to anything!!!
