What it is
Organic coconut cream is made from the white flesh of mature organic coconuts. The flesh is pressed to extract a rich, milky liquid. It is thicker and has a higher fat content than coconut milk.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use coconut cream as a fat source and to add a rich, creamy texture and mild coconut flavor to foods. It is common in dairy-free desserts, ice creams, curries, soups, and sauces.
Health notes
Coconut cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily a source of saturated fat. While high saturated fat intake is linked to increased LDL cholesterol, the health effects of coconut oil and cream are debated, with some research suggesting potential benefits from medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, and EFSA has evaluated coconut fat, but they did not set numeric limits (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
Coconut is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
