A cornerstone of traditional Asian and Caribbean cuisines, coconut milk lends its rich and creamy goodness to many popular dishes and beverages.  More than 15 years ago, Native Forest introduced the first organic coconut milk to American consumers.

Americans have embraced coconut milk in recent years, finding it a wonderful ingredient in smoothies, sauces, soups and more.  Native Forest Dairy Free and Gluten Free Coconut Milk Powder joins their growing family of coconut-based products, including Organic Classic and Light Coconut Milks.

Native ForestCoconut Milk Powder is made by drying fresh coconut milk and quickly packing this rich-tasting goodness in a resealable pouch.  Now everyone can enjoy delicious coconut milk in a convenient, instant powder that requires no refrigeration!  

Native Forest Coconut Milk Powder dissolves quickly, making it perfect for cooking and adding to your favorite hot beverage or cold smoothie.  A richly satisfying creamer, it adds welcome flavor and texture to soups, curries, sauces, desserts, beverages and more.

Commenting on the introduction of Native Forest Coconut Milk Powder, Edward & Sons founder and CEO Joel Dee said, “Americans have discovered the joys of coconut and find new uses for it every day.  Originally an ethnic food ingredient, coconut milk hasbecome mainstream.  Today people use it in everyday dishes such as cereal, oatmeal, smoothies and so much more.  Native Forest® Coconut Milk Powder offers important innovations to discerning consumers.  We started by eliminating unnecessary chemical preservatives, which many consumers appreciate.  To make our powder non-dairy and suitable for plant-based diets, we eliminated sodium caseinate, a common dairy ingredient found in most other coconut milk powders.  With holidays coming up, a lot of home chefs will discover just how delicious, convenient and versatile our coconut powder can be.  We are passionate about bringing this sort of ingredient to consumers and home chefs everywhere!  It's easy to prepare, a joy to use, delectable to consume and supports a plant-based world.  This is what we call “convenience without compromise!”
