Part of my work in clinic is to identity and address the root cause which is responsible for the symptoms a client is experiencing. The most common underlying condition I see is unbalanced hormones. Once I noticed that balancing hormones leads to the reduction of so many other symptoms, I knew I had to create a simple plan to help people understand and support their hormones.Having suffered with lower abdomen and digestions discomforts for around 10 years, I decided after many failed attempts to fix my problems and see a nutritionist. Due to my working hours and location (live West London but work in the West End) Angelique offered to see me out of hours for convenience. The meeting was informal yet concise, Angelique seemed to know exactly what my problems were, and how to combat them. I have since spent the last 3 months being wheat and dairy free, and have all but on one occasion (self inflicted) been problem free. My energy is almost boundless, I eat more than I ever have, and I have lost weight. Ultimately weight loss wasn’t the goal, but it is a welcome by product! I can highly recommend Angelique as a miracle worker.

Not only is carton coconut milk liquid (both refrigerated and shelf-stable), but carton coconut milk has added nutrients like calcium and vitamin D to make it more similar to cow’s milk and other milk substitutes.

The type of fat in coconuts is saturated fat, which is solid at room temperature. Its high saturated fat content is the reason canned coconut milk is primarily solid with some liquid separation. To make canned coconut milk homogeneous and smooth, you’ll need to stir it over low heat until the fats are emulsified for best results.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists coconuts as tree nuts, though many people with tree nut allergies can safely eat coconut. Therefore, canned and carton coconut milk are considered allergenic, even though many people with tree nut allergies can safely eat coconut.If you expect to open a can of coconut milk and pour it directly into a glass, you’ll be in for a bit of a surprise. Due to its very high saturated fat content, canned coconut milk becomes mainly solid at room temperature. Some of the liquid will separate from the solid part, which requires mixing or reheating to re-emulsify the fats and liquids together.Coconut milk is made by heating coconut pulp in hot water and then extracting the liquid from the solid pulp. The result is very high-fat coconut milk which will solidify once it’s cooled, which will then either be canned or diluted with water to make carton coconut milk, which is thinner in texture.Carton coconut milk is made by blending thick coconut milk or coconut cream (a fattier version of canned coconut milk) with water. The original product is quite thin and watery, which is why thickeners are often added to give the carton coconut milk a smoother, creamier texture.

Canned coconut milk and coconut cream are very similar, but they aren’t quite the same. Coconut cream is canned coconut milk with even more liquid removed, making it higher in fat and calories. Coconut cream is a popular option for creamy desserts and can be used to make vegan whipped cream.Canned coconut milk is much higher in fat compared to carton coconut milk. The main reason canned coconut milk is higher in fat compared to carton coconut milk is that it contains less water and more of the high-fat coconut.

You can dilute canned coconut milk with water and blend it to make a homemade version of coconut milk (similar in texture to carton coconut milk). Keep in mind some of the fat might separate once it’s chilled, so it likely won’t have the same texture as store-bought carton coconut milk, which contains emulsifiers or stabilizers to prevent separation.

For these reasons, most coconut milk recipes like Thai curry and other coconut cream-based dishes will call for canned coconut milk, not carton coconut milk.Fat provides the most amount of calories per gram compared to the other macronutrients (carbohydrates and protein). Since canned coconut milk is very high in fat, it’s also much higher in calories compared to carton coconut milk (360 calories per cup vs. 45 calories per cup, respectively).

Canned coconut milk is very high in fat and low in liquid, and carton coconut milk is essentially canned coconut milk diluted with water to make it thin and drinkable. Carton coconut milk is most often used as a non-dairy milk alternative for drinking, whereas canned coconut milk is typically used in rich, creamy recipes. Carton coconut milk often has thickeners added to make it creamy and less watery in texture, such as guar gum, xanthan gum, and carrageenan. These thickeners are gluten-free. Canned coconut milk is more suitable for cooking than carton coconut milk in many cases. Carton coconut milk is a thinner liquid and is much lower in fat, which won’t add the same creaminess and texture as canned coconut milk.Because dairy-free milk alternatives are popular among vegans, carton coconut milk is usually fortified with key nutrients that can be deficient in a vegan diet, such as calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.

I firmly believe that the best coconut milk is made right at home – but if you don’t have the time, store-bought is fine so long as you make sure the coconut milk:You can substitute carton coconut milk instead of canned, but it will likely yield a different taste and texture.

It depends on your dietary values and your preference. Coconut milk blends well in coffee, especially if you use a coffee frother to blend it in. I have a homemade coffee creamer recipe here if want to give it a try. But seriously, if you like thick creamy coconut milk, use canned full-fat coconut milk in your coffee.

Both coconut cream and milk are paired with unsweetened coconut flesh and soaked in water. The big difference is the ratio of coconut to water. So for a coconut cream you will use around four parts of coconut to one part of water. You are going to find the consistency is very thick and creamy. Coconut cream can be used in Asian cuisine for savory dishes. I find that coconut cream can be similar to a heavy cream in a recipe. With it being a cream you are going to find it does offer a stronger coconut flavor than a milk would. The creamy consistency will really enhance a variety of dishes.
