I've tried their unsweetened coconut milk multiple times, and also their coconut 'kefir'. I was so excited by the concept but both taste tasteless and strangely artificial/gummy/cardboardy. I feel like I'm the only person I've heard not like it (along with Trader Joe's coconut milk--that stuff is icky too). Apologies if this is not an allowable question. Thanks.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/69407/so-delicious-coconut-products-are-my-taste-buds-crazy/69415#69415 Answer by eric for so delicious coconut products...are my taste buds crazy? eric 2011-10-10T07:24:42Z 2011-10-10T07:24:42Z <p>What about pure coconut oil? I mix mine with chocolate, sesame seeds, goji, pumpkin seeds, and myriad other ingredients... No sweetener as I'm a type II diabetic. </p> <p>Having said that, I do know people who do not like the flavour of coconut. Everyone is different. I do feel badly for them since I believe coconut oil to be one of the most beneficial fats out there. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/69407/so-delicious-coconut-products-are-my-taste-buds-crazy/69588#69588 Answer by Rogue Nutritionist for so delicious coconut products...are my taste buds crazy? Rogue Nutritionist 2011-10-10T22:25:33Z 2011-10-10T22:25:33Z <p>I think their products taste nasty as well...they use gum thickeners, and add water, so they must be fairly processed...I just stick with coconut milk, either freshly made, or from a can. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/69407/so-delicious-coconut-products-are-my-taste-buds-crazy/92592#92592 Answer by cheryl for so delicious coconut products...are my taste buds crazy? cheryl 2012-01-25T00:03:49Z 2012-01-25T00:03:49Z <p>Just tried it tonight. I love anything coconut and was excited to see what it was like. I poured it on my cereal and noted it was gummy looking. I was so disappointed to find that it tasted like water. Really, really gross.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/69407/so-delicious-coconut-products-are-my-taste-buds-crazy/92617#92617 Answer by Christopher Gagnon for so delicious coconut products...are my taste buds crazy? Christopher Gagnon 2012-01-25T02:53:43Z 2012-01-25T02:53:43Z <p>I don't find it offensive at all, though I agree that it's a bit watery. I guess maybe that's why I sort of like it sometimes--it's less rich tasting/feeling than pure coconut milk, and sometimes I want something more bland. But I also think they over-thicken it, so that it's thicker than actual milk. I wish they'd leave it more watery in texture, in addition to it's watery flavor! And it does have good fat in it.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/69407/so-delicious-coconut-products-are-my-taste-buds-crazy/94867#94867 Answer by J-Lay for so delicious coconut products...are my taste buds crazy? J-Lay 2012-02-03T12:21:19Z 2012-02-03T12:21:19Z <p>What are the best other options? Just starting out this is the only 'milk' product I've had, should I be buying it in the can (or lots of cans?). I don't mind the blandness b/c it kind of reminds me of Skim milk...</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/69407/so-delicious-coconut-products-are-my-taste-buds-crazy/94969#94969 Answer by DanielleO812 for so delicious coconut products...are my taste buds crazy? DanielleO812 2012-02-03T17:32:35Z 2012-02-03T17:32:35Z <p>I'm going to say your taste buds are crazy. I've tried several kinds of coconut milk and this one is my favorite!</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/69407/so-delicious-coconut-products-are-my-taste-buds-crazy/153962#153962 Answer by Merry for so delicious coconut products...are my taste buds crazy? Merry 2012-10-06T04:18:00Z 2012-10-06T04:18:00Z <p>I just dumped two cartons of it down the sink. It was thick, chalky and disgusting. I'd rather have NOTHING on my cereal, but I like almond milk, rice milk or even organic soy better than that stuff.

Betty 2012-10-12T19:15:43Z 2012-10-12T19:15:43Z <p>Mimic Creme is much better! It can also be stored in your freezer &amp; most importantly for me, I can freeze the meals I prepare with this product. If you are allergic to nuts, this won't be for you.</p>
