aquatineeyes 0 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hey there guys! I just wanted to post to see what your favorite coconut brands to use were and why. I've tried some pretty gnarly ones and some that are okay, though my favorite one so far is also the most expensive so I'm looking for alternatives. Here's a link to my top choice: http://importfood.com/naturalcoconutmilk.html Cha-cha-cha-check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
TriciaLo14 36 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm not a fan of the thick, super coconutty milks, so trader joes light coconut milk works for me. I believe they're a dollar a can. I usually wipe out the shelves when I'm near a TJs- haha. Link to post Share on other sites
Anita 58 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Is that Aroy-D one a coconut milk beverage? Or is it like the thick coconut milk in cans? Link to post Share on other sites
Susan W 3553 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Is that Aroy-D one a coconut milk beverage? Or is it like the thick coconut milk in cans? It is not a beverage type. There really aren't any that are beverage types. Those are all full of icky stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
TBinSD 40 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Yes, Trader Joes is best if you have one nearby? I just bought 6 cans yesterday -- $.99 each! Link to post Share on other sites
bi0nicw0man 37 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I've tried 4-5 different brands since I started 3 weeks ago. For anyone that has a Sobey's or Sobey's affiliated store nearby the Organic Compliments brand has definitely been the best I've found. Super thick, creamy and tasty. Sadly it's like $2.50/can, but having said that I've never found anything under $2 and those $2 ones were crap. As a second choice I try to get Thai Kitchen...but find that they are hit and miss. Always shake the can! If it sloshes, it's not as good IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
aquatineeyes 0 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 I hate the TJ's ones! They water 'em down too much. And the thick ones from Joe's have that metabisulfate or whatever it's called. The Aroy-D stuff is just straight, smooth, thick,coconut milk. Thai Kitchen just doesn't seem as smooth to me! I dunno. I guess I'll keep trying! Link to post Share on other sites

If so which one? Link to post Share on other sites
