Has anyone else seen a thin layer of gray film at the bottom of the Native Forest Coconut Milk cans?

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.

I have used several cases of this coconut milk and have never seen any signs of gray.

yes, but I don't think it's a problem. It's just the watery layer at the bottom of the can.

Because it's crap. I think I smelled deisel fuel when I opened it. I def didn't smell or taste coconut.

I have just checked a new unopened canister and it seems to have settled. I turned it over a couple of times to unsettle it and the container appears fuller. I generally do this a couple of times between uses.

So far I haven't had a problem. Maybe spray with scotch guard and then you can wipe it down. The color gray will hide a multitude of evil.

Most likely due to dented cans in the middle of the box. There have been repeated problems with this. The location of the dented cans indicates they are being packed into the box already dented. The coconut milk itself is the best.

I was very disappointed with my last order of this. There was absolutely no fat on the top of the can. Consistency was that of the light coconut milk I have bought at Trader Joes.

http://www.naturalvalue.com/got-milk/ Here is a question/answer from the company. I'm not sure about the review, mine also looked a little gray, but once I mixed it up it looked fine, I used it in a cake and it turned out well. I will reorder.

Just received mine, and it was covered in pale gray/white mold. Disappointing.

I just installed one and the certificate was dated June 2008 and I bought it within the last year .. When I pulled the cap I heard a hiss .. so I am guessing it may be back filled with an inert gas .. Along with them being sealed in plastic and yes .. mostly carbon .. I cut one apart after 6 months of usage .. and saw nothing unusual and no mold or anything like that .. I plan on calling 3M and asking the question when I have time .. I will update this post when I get an answer.

I was also thinking that there was variation in the milk the protein was extracted from. My grandfather used to be a dairy farmer and there would frequently be variation in color and shade with dairy products.

The container says "May contain a minimal residual amount of milk or soy protein"

I think you may be expecting too much from the film. I won't say its cloudy, but the smooth invisible texture isn't there either. Once you get a handful of cuts in the film from debris, I would just replace it if you think it looks bad. At least your paint job is still intact... something much more costly to correct than putting down new film.

The consistency is but thick (and creamy) with little bits of coconut shredds. The product needs to be mixed before using, so in your initial use, shake the can well and then poor out (or use a blender or wisk). I dont use the product all at once and refridgerate the portion I dont use. There is seperation of the milk and oils that is visible, and again you need to mix before you use it.

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.

There is a thin piece of foam inside the lid if that's what you were referring to.

I finally made my almond milk and it is a one time endeavor. Never again. However, in answer to your question, there was sediment on the bottom but it was not gritty. However, with all the work, I ended up with about 1 1/2 cups of almond milk and a batch of grated almonds that I added honey to and will use it for a spread on toast. Nut Milks are too much work to suit me. I hope this has answered your questions. If you have any further, do not hesitate to write to me: whytehouse07@comcast.net. Arlene
