Joannal44 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'm having trouble finding compliant coconut milk. Unfortunately I do not have a Trader Joes, Whole Foods, or Costco near me. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted December 19, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 19, 2015 I order some off Amazon in tetra packs instead of cans. I've also found some at Target. All the ones at my local grocery store have sulfites, but it's worth checking yours to see what they have. I've also heard some people find some at Walmart. Just go to whichever stores you have near you and read labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted December 19, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 19, 2015 The only compliant coconut milk I've ever found was in cans. Never the stuff in cartons. The cheaper stuff often contains sulphites, but the bigger name brands (expensive) stuff is often good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoldengrahamgirl Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hey Joanna, I don't have a solution for you (other than to read ALL of the labels on ALL of the coconut milk you CAN find in your local stores). Just wanted to let you know I feel your pain! I wasn't able to find a compliant coconut milk (a fact I lamented) but today is Day30 for me - I did it without it, and so can you! (But hopefully you won't have to). Aroy-D in cans in the U.S. (not sure your location) is often a good bet, but read labels to be sure. I found it in cans but it still had potassium metabisulfite. Cheers, -Lauren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoldengrahamgirl Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 FINALLY! I drove to a different district to do some Christmas shopping and I found this Ayam brand coconut milk (and coconut cream). Only ingredients: coconut kernel extract and water. I bought the entire stock (okay it was only four cans, but still). Never lose hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4windsrider Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Wow…seems like almost every store around me (West Coast) has coconut milk in cans with just coconut cream/milk, organic gaur gum listed in the ingredients. Even find the Thai Kitchen brand at Food 4 Less…which is NOT a "health food" place by any means…Keep checking around and good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoldengrahamgirl Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 FYI organic guar gum is okay as an additive, as is xantham gum. Just avoid any sulfites or anything ending in "ose." If your ingredients were coconut kernel extract, water and organic guar gum, you'd be good to go. If you want JUST coconut kernel extract and water, look for AYAM Brand or Native Forest.

Gammy Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Did you know that you can MAKE YOUR OWN COCOCNUT MILK AND CREAM? Combine one part water with four parts either fresh or dried COCOCNUT. Simmer until foamy then put through a strainer lined with a coffee filter. Cool and refrigerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 1, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2016 The only compliant coconut milk I've ever found was in cans. Never the stuff in cartons. The cheaper stuff often contains sulphites, but the bigger name brands (expensive) stuff is often good. The "Real Thai" brand comes in tetra paks (1L at my store) and has only coconut and water as the ingredients. About $3.50 per carton so totally reasonably priced! I believe you can order this online as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoe Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hi Joanna144 I always use the Biona brand - it is just coconut & water Zoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmunchie Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I found these little cartons of So Delicious Cooking Coconut Milk at Whole Foods, but I also found it sold online when I Googled it. It's great in coffee since it comes with a twist-off top for fridge storage. However, it does separate, so you have to give it a good shake and use a spoon to stir in the cream. (let's see if I can get my picture to work here): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 FINALLY! I drove to a different district to do some Christmas shopping and I found this Ayam brand coconut milk (and coconut cream). Only ingredients: coconut kernel extract and water. I bought the entire stock (okay it was only four cans, but still). Never lose hope! That's my favourite! We get the blue (milk) and green (cream) cans here, love them. Some places have multiple sizes, we mostly get the medium size ones with a ring pull on top. Not everything on this page is compliant (pretty sure some of those Light ones have weird things), but it's got some good pics: http://ayam.com/paleo-range-coconut.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladalton Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have found that Amazon.com is a great resource for some of these items. Most of the time, they show the ingredients in the images, and you can buy in bulk. Plus you can return an item if it isn't compliant. Natural Value brand has worked for me in the past.
