Description
Coconut Milk Powder is made by drying coconut milk extracted from the flesh of mature coconuts. With its rich, creamy flavor and smooth texture, it is a versatile ingredient used in curries, soups, sauces, and desserts. Simply mix with water for coconut milk on demand or stir directly into recipes.
This convenient, shelf-stable powder is easy to store and use, offering a long-lasting alternative to fresh coconut milk. It blends effortlessly into both sweet and savory dishes, making it a pantry staple for home cooks and chefs alike.
- Our Coconut Milk Powder is a delicious alternative for lactose-sensitive people allergic to casein (sodium caseinate) or animal milk.
- This plant-based drink is also soy-free and gluten-free.
- Coconut milk is unique because it contains a type of fat called medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), which are oxidized by your body differently than other fats.
In the past, coconut was believed to be unhealthy due to its high saturated fat content. However, it has now been proven that the fat contained in coconut is unlike any other fat on Earth and has high nutritional value. So, why is coconut fat different?
Coconut has a unique fat molecule; this makes its fat different from most fats we consume.
- Our Coconut Milk Powder is a delicious milk alternative for those who do not consume animal dairy products.
The Coconut Research Center explains, “The vast majority of fats and oils in our diets, whether saturated or unsaturated or from animals or plants, are composed of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Some 98 to 100% of all the fatty acids you consume are LCFA.”
Coconut is known to have MCFA or medium-chain fatty acids, also referred to as MCT or medium-chain triglycerides. MCFA are metabolized by the human body differently because of their size; unlike the saturated and unsaturated fats in vegetable oils, eggs, milk, and meats, which contain LCFA, coconut is a rare dietary source of MCFA and, therefore, highly beneficial to the body and overall health. Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut’s incredible healing powers.
- Coconut milk is a dairy-free alternative for lactose intolerant or allergic to casein (sodium caseinate) or animal milk.
- This vegan drink is also soy-free and gluten-free.
The presence of lauric acid in coconut is another reason it is known for having super nutritional value. Lauric acid is a fatty acid found in human breast milk. The article “How a PR Campaign Led to Unhealthy Diets by Beatrice Trum Hunter, published in the August 2003 issue of Consumer’s Research, volume 86 no. 8, states, “Researchers demonstrated that coconut fat might reduce the risk of degenerative conditions. It may help prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections due to its antimicrobial component, lauric acid, which is found solely in coconut fat and breast milk.”
Our Coconut Milk is a wonderful treat and chock full of goodness.
We dry our coconut at a low temperature to preserve all the naturally occurring enzymes, nutrients, and flavor. It is unsweetened, unadulterated, and preservative-free. Plus, it’s delicious.

- If clumping occurs, warm the product up, lay the bag flat, and place a towel over the bag.
- Then pound on the bag until the clumps break up.
- The towel will help protect the bag from damage.
