Description

Versatile Kokonati organic coconut whipping cream is made from freshly grated coconut (90%) meat from mature kernels. The finely grated meat is steeped in purified hot water (10%) and strained through layers of cheesecloth in a purely mechanical process to extract the cream content. This 90% coconut cream is an excellent option for whipping too. Our coconut cream is not a brilliant white color. A bit of brownish liquid, which comes from the coconut shell, may naturally appear in some cans when the cream settles. This just goes to prove our product is 100% natural and not standardized by chemical processes. Any coconut cream that looks pure white may have been processed with bleaching additives. As we do not use preservatives, we do have to flash pasteurize the cream to be able to preserve, package and ship it from our tropical shores to cooler countries with climates not suitable for growing coconuts. How else can we share such a wonderful superfood with the rest of the world!

Uses Organic 90% Coconut whipping cream is a dairy-free alternative to add a creamy topping for vegan desserts and cakes. It pairs well with breakfast cereals, hot-cold beverages, and smoothies and can even be chilled/ frozen and whipped into a light creamy soft-serve ice cream! Chill the can overnight ( min 4 – 6 hours). Discard any clear liquid at the bottom of the can before whipping to get a thick spreadable cream. Keep all utensils and surroundings cool (tip: chill beater bowl, tongs, spatula). To make coconut milk from coconut whipping cream just dilute the cream straight out of the can with warm or room temperature water. Keeping to our ‘Inside & Out’ policy, you can even use Kokonati coconut cream to moisturize your skin and hair. A quick remedy for hair nits. Add a tablespoon of Kokonati coconut cider or coconut water vinegar to an appropriate amount of coconut cream ( depends on the thickness and length of hair) before massaging into the scalp. This remedy will keep nits at bay while also imparting a healthy shine! A 100% natural remedy even for school-aged children. Please do a patch test before using this remedy. As each of us is special and unique we cannot possibly know if you may have a reaction to using this natural remedy. There is a consequence to choosing healthy natural cruelty-free products. You and I are the test subjects!

Before use Contents may separate naturally. Before use, shake can or stir well to get an even texture. In cold weather (under 22 Deg C) place the can in a warm water bath for a few minutes and then shake well before opening. If needed strain through a sieve for extra free flow, using a spatula to force through any unmelted coconut milk fat through the sieve. This separation happens as our coconut milk and cream are free of any emulsifiers and stabilizers. So a little elbow grease is needed to use this 100% natural product!

Flavor Aroma and taste is freshly coconut. Depending on the harvest and season every batch of cream can vary in color and to a minor degree in taste as it is a natural cottage-industry product that does not use any chemical refining, additives, or preservatives to standardize the product like with large-scale commercially standardized coconut cream.

Benefits Why coconut cream? Coconut cream is naturally rich in saturated fats, mainly short and medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs). MCTs are usually not stored by the body as fats. Instead, it is metabolized by the body to provide instant energy.  Almost a quarter of a portion of coconut whipping cream contains MCTs, mainly Lauric acid. Lauric acid is believed to boost the immune system and has been shown to promote brain development and bone health. This is why one of the richest natural sources of Lauric acid is mother’s milk. Next to mother’s milk, coconuts are the richest source of Lauric acid. “Lauric acid has microbial properties, so it can help protect against bacterial infection” notes Paul May, a professor at Bristol University in England. Lauric acid may also help in maintaining the elasticity of the blood vessels and in keeping them clean, which in turn could also lower the risk for conditions like, atherosclerosis and heart disease. Coconut trees grow in rich volcanic soil, contributing to the high mineral content of coconut. About 22% of the recommended daily allowance of iron ( for women, it is lower for men) can be absorbed from a recommended serving of Coconut cream. With such a high level of iron, consuming coconut cream regularly could naturally decrease iron deficiency disorders. Apart from the beneficial MCT’s & mineral content, coconut cream also contains several antioxidant compounds, which can provide protection against harmful free radicals and their damaging effects on the body cells and tissues. Coconut cream can promote a healthy gut by relieving gastric symptoms, stomach ulcers, and even acid reflux. And if all those benefits aren’t enough. Coconut cream can even help to relax nerves and muscles, control blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure and reduce joint inflammation.

100+ years of coconut expertise Our coconut cream sales supports the traditional livelihoods of villagers in the rural coconut triangle of Sri Lanka. Our Coconut cream is made by a third-generation coconut miller an engineer by profession who has fine-tuned the process of extracting the best quality cream backed by generations of coconut expertise. The mill also operates a not-for-profit brick and tile factory at the rear and a metal workshop that provides work for the youngsters of the village, building material for the community, and keeps the factory equipment ship-shape! Staff quarters are also provided for those who travel far from home. Backed by generations of coconut expertise, and certified with ISO and Organic standards, the mill plays a vital role in the employment, welfare, and wellbeing of the village community. The management ensures the children of their workforce have access to school books and stationery for the entire school year! The mill also organizes religious and cultural events to inculcate a sense of belonging to a bigger cause, bringing a sense of pride and community to the villagers who are using age-old knowledge, treading lightly, and making a living for their families, sustainably.

Price for quality Our products are not mass-produced in vast industrialised factories. So we do not enjoy the economies of scale that supermarket brands do. We pay the millers and farmers a fair price. Specifically, batch-crafted for New Zealand, Kokonati products are made with multigenerational expertise and knowledge to be the best quality they can be and so easily justify the premium price for the premium quality you are getting.

Loyalty Just as we are fiercely loyal to the millers and families we work with, we also want to reward you, for your loyalty. So every time you purchase a Kokonati product you also collect rewards points that can be redeemed for a discount at checkout. Remember to sign up for the reward points (the black Rewards tab on the right edge of this screen ->).

Is Coconut whipping cream a better alternative to dairy? With evolving climate-change and cruelty-free movements combined with results from scientific studies and research, touting the many inhumane aspects of dairy farming, health complications, and allergies caused by dairy; there is a little voice in every ‘conscious’ consumer’s mind to, at the very least, reduce the number of dairy products they consume. There are many dairy-free butter alternatives; seeds & nuts butter, even our raw creamed coconut butter, and toasted coconut butter are tasty alternatives. There are many vegan ‘cheese’ options that are made from coconut flour and soy products too. Cutting down on dairy intake could be a start. Given the many dairy-free kinds of milk available now; Coconut Milk, Coconut cream Almond Milk, Rice Milk, Hemp Milk it is quite easy to go dairy-free!

Make a conscious decision; if you read this article and it makes sense to you, you are old enough not to be drinking from anyone’s mammary glands!

Packaging and recycling Available in 400ml BPA free , easy-open tabbed aluminum cans. A light warm soak or a run under the hairdryer will remove the labels which are biodegradable and can be composted or disposed of in the garbage bin. Dispose of the recyclable aluminum can in your recycling bin.

Word of caution. Coconut cream is high in fiber, so if you are new to consuming it, it is best to increase intake gradually allowing the gut to slowly get accustomed to it.
