What you need to be looking for is the canned version - that has the highest good fat content...check in the ethnic isle - with the asian food. I always keep a couple of cans on hand. it will be thick - if you put it in the fridge you can then open it and scoop out the solid parts and whip it and use like whipped cream or add to coffee or tea. (I will use the liquid part to add to a smoothie) I use it a lot for a quick curry. You can also get a light version - I will use this on occassion when I am doing a strict program to use in place of coffee creamer because it will stay liquid in the fridge.

There is also coconut milk you can buy in the carton (in the area where they sell the rectangle shelf stable packages) or in the fridge section - that is basically a milk substitute - good for smoothies or things you would put regular milk in. But this doesn't have the higher good fat content the canned stuff has in it.

Get Native Forest brand if you can find it - BPA-free cans!

And yes, it's with the Asian/Indian/Ethnic foods.

Stay away from the carton ones they sell in the milk section!!

You may also find the Savoy or Gold Star or (the best) Aroy-D Coconut Cream in your local Asian market. Where do you live?

Oooo...I need to check out some of the Asian stores! I didn't even think of that!

Impy...I'm from good ole 'braska!

I think I might be able to find an Asian market in Sioux City, but we don't get up that way very often and I basically only know where Outback Steakhouse is. :laugh: I'll have to look into it.

You could try Amazon. I just read an article that said you can get it for a great price there.

Does anybody actually just drink the coconut milk? I've never liked cow's milk. I started drinking soy milk in college, but still only in moderation. I'm finding on the whole paleo plan, calcium is the one nutrient I'm just not quite consuming enough of.
