DurhamDoesPaleo Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What store brands do you prefer? I've tried two now. A compliant "ethnic" version whose name I can't remember, but it is SO thick and nearly clumpy, and now Kroger's store brand Premium Coconut Milk (coconut cream, water, xanthan gum), which was light-years better, at least in my coffee. Curious to see what others prefer. The Kroger brand also didn't make me feel like I wanted sweetener in my coffee (don't worry, I haven't used any!), but I also used it today at home on Day 8 v the other one which I have been drinking at work in my coffee since Day 3.

Whole30 Certified Coach littleg Posted August 24, 2014 Whole30 Certified Coach Share Posted August 24, 2014 Was the thick one Aroy-D? That is what I use. I love it. If its thick you can just warm it up a bit to thin it out. Aroy-D is the only "clean" brand I know of. I but it at Asian grocery stores - I've never seen it anywhere else.

Tina R Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 You can get Aroy-d on amazon.com. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvB Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I just found the "Let's Do... Organic" brand at my local store and was cheaper than Aroy-D. Only ingredient: coconut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLC1968 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I buy the light coconut milk from Trader Joe's. Ingredients: Coconut, water. It's not as super thick as the regular versions, but I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the taste of it. It's so clean and pure tasting. I just can't stand 'guar gum' or other thickeners in my coconut milk.

Lazy Marla Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I use Trader Joe's also. Their Coconut Cream whips up really nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am in Australia and using the brand Ayam, made in Thailand. Ingredients are Coconut kernel extract (82%) and water. I hope this is ok?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that "light" coconut milk is just regular coconut milk with added water? You could save yourself some money by buying the regular stuff and just adding water to get to the consistency you like. More coconut milk for the same money! It's also interesting to me, at least at the stores where I shop, the light coconut milk is more per can (usually about ten cents more per can) and the only difference is more water. That's marketing hooplah at its best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice06870 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 the Whole Foods brand is my favorite. I used to use Arroyo, and once I tried the WF, I never went back. I could literally eat an entire can of it with a spoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSteeleM Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I really like the Thai Kitchen Organic - Coconut milk, water, and guar gum. I think guar gum is compliant (I hope). It's always very creamy and delicious and doesn't seem to have much separation. I just shake the can before I open it and it's great in my coffee!

Tessina Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Is Goya brand compliant? Sadly I think that is a no, at least for the coconut milk. Ingredients Coconut Milk, Water, Potassium Metabisulfite (as a Preservative). http://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=391151&storeId=10052&langId=-1 The kicker that makes it none compliant is the Potassium Metabisulfite as discussed in this thread : http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/4892-potassium-metabisulfite/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andria Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I use Native Forest. It has gaur gum, but it is the only one I can find in a BPA free can. I am more concerned about reducing my BPA intake. I don't love the taste of coconut milk (except mixed into curries and soups) so it is difficult for me to evaluate it by taste.
