When diluted with water, it performs well as a low-cost and convenient substitute for fresh or aseptically packed coconut cream or milk. In addition, this product works well in other applications such as beverages, confectionery centers and sauces (i.e. curry). Similar to our creamed coconut, this product is available with or without stabilizers. We recently developed a new product called Sweetened Coconut Concentrate - a blend of Coconut Concentrate, High Fructose Corn Syrup and other ingredients. This product has a white to cream color and viscous consistency.
