    Delicious Holiday Recipes with America’s First Canned Organic Coconut Milk

    Native Forest® Organic Coconut Milk (America’s first) is pressed from the nutmeat of mature organic coconuts. It features full-bodied coconut taste with a smooth and creamy texture. Organic coconuts tend to be a little smaller than their conventionally grown cousins, while the organic coconut trees are sturdier and more drought resistant.

    Native Forest® collection has grown since 1999, with additions of juicy organic fruits, authentic tropical specialties and culinary quality fruits and vegetables. These are packed in cans or glass jars for convenient storage and long life without need of refrigeration (until opened) or preservatives.

    Native Forest Classic Coconut Milk is made from the first pressing of fresh organic coconut meat that creates an oil-rich extract and is mixed with only filtered water and a tiny amount (less than 1%) of guar gum from the seeds of the guar plant. Makes for a delicious ingredient in soups, curries, sauces, desserts, and beverages.
