Why is this called coconut extract and not coconut milk?

But ... it IS called coconut milk. That is the name of the product. However, in my review of this product I cautioned viewers that there is not much milk in the can, and it's really like coconut paste. You cannot drink this like a glass of milk or even like a melted milkshake. It is thick and has to be handled with a spoon. It's really just ground up coconut meat. I put two heaping tablespoons of it on my oatmeal in the morning, before I heat it up.

I think it is because it is large chunks of coconut, essentially the entire coconut product minus the shell and liquid. It

This brand has no fillers, no guar gum, no bpa in the can lining etc. It is the best coconut milk on the market. It's an extract because you're not getting the coconut meat but the milk.

I did not make coconut milk...I use it to make almondmilk...I soaked 1 cup of almonds overnight...and then drained and rinsed them...put them in a blender with dash of salt and 6 cups of filtered water, 1/2 tbsp. and with 4 fresh medjool dates to sweeten...blended for 2 min. ...poured slowly through bag...delicious!

I don't taste coconut; it more resembles brown sugar in taste; but more subtle. I like it in coffee; that was the use I bought it for.

I'm pretty sure you can sub one for the other. This stuff is like the thicker, canned coconut milk. Not the thin, tasteless stuff that usually comes in cartons. I like that it doesn't have guar gum in it.

Coconut cream is like the top half of a can of full-fat coconut milk. It's thicker and has less water. You can probably substitute it in some recipes, or in a pinch, you could thin it with a little water or coconut water as a substitute. Where it's really useful is recipes that call for just that top half of a can of coconut milk. You can also chill it and whip it for a great dairy-free whipped cream substitute.

Cooks illustrated said they used coconut milk. This was the greek yogurt maker they suggested on their website.

Arroy D milk and cream are 100% coconut. That's what makes them unique and wonderful to buy. I have been using nothing but Arroy D for over a year, and love the fact that it is cartons and not cans, and is pure coconut.

I hope there is something wrong with the case of Coconut Milk I received. Aside from being completely chunky and hard to get out of the can, even when I let it sit for awhile, it is not user-friendly. Even more important than that, it tastes awful. Just awful.

According to the label, this product contains no stabilizers, emulsifiers, whiteners or guar gum. It is only coconut milk and water. Gently warm the contents or blend in blender to get it smooth. Granted, this coconut milk is not pourable straight from the can, but personally I will take the extra effort to make it creamy if I can avoid any unwanted additives.

I tried it in my coffee, it is more like putting coconut oil in it, what ya use is coconut milk..

Haven't tried coconut milk yet. I understand that it is hard to get it thick without adding some sort of thickener. I did try goat's milk and it turned out rather thin. Not sure if I didn't let it go long enough or too long. The goat's milk was also really tart. I'm like you I would like to try some coconut milk. I make coconut milk kefir a lot. It's really good.

It is ALL extract. The liquid, mostly oil, is pressed out of the meat and the fiber filtered out. That process is extraction. Otherwise you'd be buying coconut meat (usually sold shredded or ground). If you want the fiber, and you can get organic, it's good too. A good bit chewier though.

I've seen this a few times. I believe it's because they do not add any sodium nitrite, which is used in many prepared and frozen foods to keep them from darkening. The cheap brands of coconut milk in Asian stores DO contain sodium nitrite. I used to buy them, but got headaches from it. I am a faithful and loyal Native Forest user now.

The ingredients list says: coconut milk, maltodextrin, sodium casinate. I've only used it to make homemade coconut ice cream, so I don't know how it would work in bread or even how it tastes on its own. It's a fine powder and definitely smells like coconut.

It's nothing but coconut milk. 100%. Nothing else. And it's pretty delicious. :)
