Coconut Milk/Cream

Product Description

Coconut Milk is a sweet, milky white cooking base derived from the meat of mature coconuts. The cleaned coconut kernels (white flesh inside coconuts) are crushed to expel raw coconut milk, which is then filtered, homogenized and heat treated prior to packaging. Coconut Milk is available in varying fat percentages between 5% to *7%. Coconut Cream is like Coconut Milk, but thicker and higher in fat. Ultra Heat Treated (UHT) Coconut Cream, with a fat content of approximately *4%, is made by passing processed coconut pieces through a screw press to obtain the cream extract. The cream is then filtered, standardized, pasteurized and homogenized prior to packaging, with no preservatives added. Use Coconut Milk finds a special place in many tropical cuisines. Sri Lankan coconut milk is reputed to be one of the most flavoursome milks, and is ideally suited as a culinary base and known for its health benefits. Coconut Cream is very similar to heavy whipping cream and a great non-dairy substitute. Used as a major cooking ingredient for Asian dishes, desserts, puddings, rice cakes etc.
