‘Reminds me of sun cream’: the best (and worst) supermarket coconut milk, tasted and rated | Food
COconut milk is always found in the front and the middle in my warehouse because it is the cornerstone in a lot of cooking. I buy it in large quantities and rely on it to bring a sharp, fragrant cream and dairy -free to many of my favorite dishes, from curry and dalas to soup and rice dishes. Also, it is indispensable for sweets for vegetarian friends, and for the gentle -lactose -lactose husband. It comes out of the spices and pulls a dish together, adding silk to the sauces, sweet richness, spinning to the cakes, fighters and vegetable parade.
I am able to comfortable things because making coconut milk from scratch, just as my mother used to do it when I grew up in Kenya, hard order: the ripe brown coconut must be broken, the meat is filtered, then it was soaked in hot water, before tension and illness several times through cheese.
What I am looking for when buying coconut milk is the minimum of ingredients and a large percentage of coconut. Ideally, coconut milk should have two components: coconut milk and water. Buying good quality-unlike one backed by localities, emulsions and fixtures-often makes the difference between the wonderful and bad dish. I try to use those that are not added to any stabilizers or emulsions, such as biona (see below) and Clearspring. I also love some of the least available Asian brands, like AROY-DAlthough it contains a thicker factor, it contains 70 % coconut content, which makes it one of the most coconut milking forward in the market.

Best all round
Basic coconut milk
1.15 pounds for 400 ml in Waitrose
★★★ ☆☆
Good flavor, distinctive, in general, with creamy tissue and slight sweetness only.
Better boasting
Pyonna, organic coconut milk
3.20 pounds for 400 ml in Okado
11.95 pounds for 6 x 400 ml in Amazon
★★★★
Ferrari of Coconut Milks – This contains 50 % organic coconut, as the water is the only component. It is creamy and nuts. It does not contain any emulsions, so you separate the fat in coconut and reach its hardening, but they are completely emulsion when heated, reduced or mixed. The highest signs.
The best deal
Coconut milk in Sainsbury
★★ ☆☆☆
This contains an appropriate amount of the body and contains 68 % of coconut, however it tastes somewhat nice. It has a decent creamy tissue, though.
The rest …
Coconut milk Dan River
1.13 pounds for 400 ml in ASDA
1.15 pounds for 400 ml in Sainsbury’s
★★ ☆☆☆
This one is full of fasteners and emulsions, and although there is a strong flavor of coconut, it feels artificial fat and tasteful tastes.
Blue coconut milk dragon
2.30 pounds for 400 ml in Tesco
2.50 pounds for 400 ml in Asda
★ ☆☆☆☆
Another one, as with most of these, is in the very treated food category. It has a soap flavor and a vibrant texture.
After promoting the newsletter
Coconut Milk m & s
1.10 pounds for 400 ml in Okado
★★ ☆☆☆
It is still thin, unreasonable, and although emulsions contain, even after a lot of stirring. However, it has a coconut flavor more than some other competitors.
Eastern coconut milk
2.25 pounds for 400 ml in Waitrose
9.87 pounds for 6 x 400 ml in Amazon
★ ☆☆☆☆
Thick and completely skim, but it has an artificial and unpleasant cosmetic taste that reminds me of the sun’s cream.
Tesco Coconut Milk
★ ☆☆☆☆
Water and very sweet. This may be used to make dairy -free pies or cake dough, but it will not work well in Carrie Thailand, as you need a deep coconut flavor.
ASDA coconut milk
☆☆☆☆
Thin, water and disappointing, especially if you hope to enrich or intensify the sauce. It also tastes a little bitter and tight, as if it was better.
Asia Specializations Coconut Milk
☆☆☆☆
This has a strange and metal taste that lacks fragrance and flavor. I imagine that this will need a lot of curry paste that adds to it to hide unpleasant taste.
