Coconuts have conquered the western market for years now. Being mostly health-conscious, westerners are amazed with coconut’s nutrient values and how it can improve their health. In the tropical countries where coconut trees are native, people have long been benefiting from this “tree of life”. One of coconuts’ primary by-products is coconut milk.
Coconut milk is different from coconut water for it is not naturally produced by the tree. It needs water to come up with the thick and creamy texture of the coconut milk. It is basically equal portions of water and coconut flesh. In some countries where coconut-based products are relatively new, people use coconut milk as an alternative to cow’s milk. Vegans are mostly heavy consumers of coconut milk as it decreases or even eliminates their animal-based product consumption such as traditional milk from cows and goats. In countries where coconuts originate, people use coconut milk as a cooking base for their savory dishes. Indians use it so their curries have richer taste, while Filipinos use coconut milk in almost anything from Adobo to the famous Laing.
While many people are worried with the high saturated fat content of the coconut milk, many researches proved that saturated fat can accelerate metabolism. This can provide more energy and can even assist weight loss. Coconut milk is also found to have high lauric acid content which is known to assist brain and bone development in children.
How We Produce Greenville Coconut Milk
Greenville maintains the high quality of its products by choosing best raw materials. Coconuts are transported to our plants and factories within 48 hours after harvest to ensure freshness. Meat from mature coconuts are then taken out to be grated and prepared for the production of the coconut milk. Using a mechanical press, the grated coconut meat is squeezed. Pressing is assisted with water to ease up the coconut milk production. The produced milk is then gathered for packaging in tin cans.
Greenville Agro Corporation’s coconut milk is available in 400 ml cans. It must be consumed immediately once the can is opened for this particular coconut-based product has a shorter shelf life. If not consumed straight away, the coconut milk must be transferred to another food container and must be refrigerated; otherwise it can turn sour, produce curds, and spoil easily.
