Ingredients Organic Coconut Cream

Coconut cream is the thick, fatty liquid that comes from the white flesh of mature coconuts. The flesh is typically pressed or blended with a small amount of water to extract the cream. It has a rich, creamy texture and a mild coconut flavor.

Manufacturers use coconut cream as a dairy-free alternative to heavy cream in both sweet and savory dishes. It adds richness, body, and a subtle tropical flavor to foods like yogurts, desserts, curries, and sauces. Its fat content also helps to emulsify ingredients.

Coconut cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated fat, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). While research on MCTs is ongoing, some studies suggest they may be metabolized differently than other fats. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for coconut cream. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coconut oil, which is similar in composition, but no specific evaluations for coconut cream are noted.
