OVERVIEW

Niulife Creamed Coconut is certified organic whole coconut meat, in concentrated form. The white coconut flesh is dried to remove the water and then ground to a fine paste or "nut butter"ÂÂÂ. Creamed Coconut has a smooth creamy consistency due to its high (70%) fat content. It is therefore a rich dietary source of healthy coconut oil.

Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil. If you use high heat, it will burn.

How is Creamed Coconut Used?
Creamed Coconut is very versatile. Mix 1 or 2 teaspoons with water or juice to make a creamy coconut milk drink or add it to coffee/cocoa as a non-dairy creamer. It is an excellent ingredient for cooking and baking. Because of its low moisture content it can be mixed straight into the batter or dough of breads and pastries. It is great as a thickener added to curries or stir-fries and enhances the flavour of soups. It can be blended in smoothies, mixed with melted chocolate, made into ice cream or spread on toast or crackers for a snack. In fact, it is so delicious that many people just eat it by the spoonful, straight from the jar.

Note: In colder weather Creamed Coconut will become hard due to its high content of natural coconut oil and fibre. It will quickly soften up with a little warming. Stir well if separated. Does not need refrigeration.

How is Creamed Coconut different from canned coconut milks and creams?
Commercial coconut milks and creams are generally sold in cans or tetra packs. The main ingredient in these products is water. If the fat content is 17%, it is called "coconut milk." If the fat content is 24%, it is called "coconut cream" (though some canned "cream" can be as low as 8% fat and full of added gum thickeners). Most of what you are purchasing is just water. Creamed Coconut, on the other hand, is pure coconut and contains no water.

Unlike the canned milk/cream, it also contains all the fibre of the coconut. Pure, dried coconut contains even more fibre per gram than oat bran! This fibre has been stripped out of commercial coconut milks and creams. Furthermore, almost all commercial coconut milks and creams have additives to prevent the water from separating from the coconut oil, and they also have sulphites added as a preservative. Creamed Coconut contains no additives or preservatives. It is 100% natural coconut made from certified organic coconuts grown without pesticides or fertilisers.
