Recently I've been cooking a lot of Thai curries and the difference between the good coconut milk and the bad coconut milk is astonishing. ArroyD is a dream to cook with. I bought a couple of cartons of brands meant as vegan milk alternatives, because they were carried by my local grocery store and it doesn't carry anything else, and they basically cannot be used to cook curries (no matter how long you cook them they will not break which is a vital part of cooking a coconut milk based curry).
You have recommendations for Coconut milk that tastes really, really, almost artificially like Coconut? I want something that tastes and smells like Sun Tan Lotion or Coconut candy.
Fun fact: coconut water was used during the Pacific wars when saline IVs weren't available. It saved many lives. 💖🌞🌵😷
It’s also worth checking whether the coconut milk is homogenized or not, as this affects its qualities when heated. As some people already mentioned, certain brands work better for making curry than others, by virtue of it not being homogenized.
3:44 At first, I was going to mention only that the other day at the store, I noticed toasted coconut shreds; but now I need to point out the many, many coconut products you left out-like vinegars, which are the traditional vinegars to use when making Filipino foods. This was interesting, however. Thank you.💐🤗🤗🤗
many? Vinegar is only one thing.
I'm sure that some things are left out, as you say. There were also things included that I didn't know existed, like coconut sugar! And I'd never heard of coconut vinegar before, either. Thanks for your comment and the additional fact.
Sweetened condensed coconut milk. It's fantastic for making vegan ice cream. Nature's charm is the best brand.
Coconut vinegar for Filipino adobo? 😍 One of our local Filipino societies (we have several, drama ensues here in Colorado) has the most amazing food I've ever tasted, and I know those aunties are not using coconut vinegar. Good lerd it would be so much better with!
Thank you for clearing up the many options out there. To answer the final question, it even has great use out of the kitchen - I've spent $100s on face moisturizers guaranteed not to irritate my skin. In the end, refined coconut oil is the only thing I've found that works.
I am a coconut grower, with 2 groves, and the vast majority of our crops go to oil production. Right now, the market value of copra, the white meat alone, is at 78 cents per kilo. An ordinary coconut retails for 25 cents. I'm curious to know what US coconut prices are like, these days.
Thank you for this, I realized I bought the wrong product for my recipe
1:37 for Southeast Asia, coconut water is used in plenty of braised applications. There’s a popular caramelized braised pork dish where it’s used quite often.
Mahalo for this insightful video! It's fantastic to see an expert guide to coconut products, especially when it comes to quality brands like Maha Organic. Their commitment to organic farming practices and sustainability really sets them apart. I've personally experienced the difference their products make, from the rich flavor of their coconut oil to the creamy texture of their coconut milk. Keep up the great work in spreading awareness about quality coconut products!
Thank you for explaing in detail all different types of coconut😊
I was wondering about the coconut 🥥 varieties, and yes it can be confusing, thanks 🙏🏻 Jack! 🎉
I've recently seen ads for ground coconut shell plant soil bricks that expand when you add water to them! I cannot remember the name of the company advertising them. So many uses for Coconut! ❤🥥🌴❤
Coco coir, it's been around a long time.
Yrs ago when I had my iguana, I bought a coconut fiber bedding mix for part of her enclosure. Worked really well too!
You left out the most important coconut product of all: a fresh, whole coconut!😋
thanks Jack!!
Excellent detail of Coconut products & vast assortments out now. Thank you.
contact us, always welcome!
I am surprised that you didn't mention fresh frozen coconut, like Birdseye. My family had been using it for decades for the Easter coconut cake, and it has a lovely tenderness and mild taste that doesn't taste like sunscreen. I have also seen canned fresh coconut, although I haven't tried it.
and we add lemon, it turns out delicious, try it
I love coconuts 🥥.
So good to hear this update! Keep going Crusoe Strong 😘😘😘
Bon appetit
I appreciate all the coconut information/comparisons. I’m surprised unrefined is the preferred choice as I always have the cold pressed/unrefined bc I thought it had a more pure coconut flavor. 🤔
Seriously such a great video. Its impossible to know what to use sometimes
I didn’t know about coconut before, seek knowledge
(15) Quite interesting. I try to always have a tin or two of coconut cream/milk in the pantry. Especially the really small ones.
You can use the husks to BBQ.
I was surprised you didn't mention coconut aminos for an umami flavor and coconut vinegar which I've yet to find a proper replacement for in philipino dishes. There's also coconut syrup which I haven't tried yet but all these products I'm able to source in South Mississippi so it's not obscure anymore.
I was hoping there would be an explanation for liquid coconut oil I sometimes see at grocery stores compared to the solid coconut oil I'm used to
Coconut sugar is from tree sap. South Asian Palm trees also produce tree sweet sap, palm sugar is more popular.
And you can put the lime in the coconut…
And drank em both up 😂
no snacks😜😜@@Comma_jamaal
2:19: I DO, in fact, want almost overpowering, sun tan lotion-esque Coconut flavored Coconut milks. I've used some before and loved it, but forgot the brand. Please let me know which ones are like this!
Best use of coconut oil: homemade chocolate magic shell for ice cream topping. Just melt some dark chocolate chips in oil on the stove.
There's also half-fat coconut milk if you want to lighten your curry. ❤
my new favorite coconut product is coconut condensed milk!
I like coconut flakes for my subji.
What about the coconut milk that's not canned but in cartons and used for coffee beverages?
Why do you not include fresh frozen coconut in the lineup?
The coconut cream pie recipe I use calls for Cream of Coconut and dried unsweetened coconut.
coconut is a versatile product, I sometimes put it in chicken dishes
The coconut chips look like huge toenail clippings
Unfortunately I am extremely allergic to coconut, so buying items in the grocery store is tricky.
it is if you want to buy a coconut!
💋
This was so helpful. Now I want to eat an entire bowl of coconut cream.
Ha Ha Ha!!! All those 'coconut products'!!! Well done, Jack. Happy April Fool's!!
I don’t understand, did he say that seriously or was he joking?
You didn’t mention coconut milk powder.
door with glass grief in the family
You might have printed out that the fat is healthy and explain what
polyunsaturated fats does to the body.
I like coconut. The sweetenedd shredded coconut literally makes me throw up. Coconut sugar is my go-to for cooking these days.
We will see a lot more coconut products in the future. With global warming it is one of the few crops extending its range
Unfortunately, coconut oil is not neutral flavor and it is not salty like salted butter, so it doesn’t work well for me in places like cooking eggs and similar items where coconut flavor might not be preferred…. For me at least.
You missed coconut powder. As a single person a whole can of coconut milk is too much. The coconut powder is very versatile to mix with water to make milk or cream in recipes but also add to desserts to intensify coconut flavour such as a coconut cream pie.
I was waiting for an explanation of Coconut aminos but it wasn't mentioned here.
Where is your coconut butter and coconut oil?
You forgot coconut vinegar-
Forgot Coconut Butter. It’s like peanut butter but made from coconut.
What about coconut crab? 🤔
wait... that can't possibly real... is this one of those April Fool's Day jokes? 😍
❤ this program. But disagree....I use coconut cream to make piña coladas. It's wonderful, not sickeningly sweet.
First
omg haha what a funny April fools video
Booo for the paywall to see the written recipes.
👎Recipe requires payment
Not really helpful.
When you are not including the coconut from the land and only have the coconut from the plant then you are not an expert guide.
Absolutely hands down Arroy D is the best source for coconut products! Every restaurant I've worked in has used them because they're the tastiest 😋 and most consistently good. The executives even visited them and everything was above-board and they were super cool! CEO said it was the most amazing Thai curry he would ever taste in his lifetime! So jeally 😭
