Native Forest Unsweetened Organic Coconut Milk Light Description
The Story of Native Forest® Organic Coconut Milk
In a fertile Thailand valley, hundreds of acres of certified organic coconut trees are naturally protected from outside contamination by surrounding highlands. Organic stewardship enhances biodiversity and nurtures the overall ecology of the region. The organically managed trees are drought-resistant and their soil is rich and moisture retentive.
We press the meat of these fresh organic coconuts, yielding an oil-rich extract that is mixed with filtered water and a tiny amount (1%) of organic guar gum from the seeds of the guar plant.
A staple of Thai and many Asian cuisines, coconut milk lends rich and creamy goodness to classic regional dishes. Perfect in soups, curries, sauces, desserts and beverages, Native Forest® Organic Coconut Milk may be the most delicious coconut milk you have ever tasted.
Coconut milk may naturally separate and solidify when cold. Spoon the coconut milk into a glass container, which you place in a bowl of hot water. As milk softens, stir well to restore its smooth consistency.
