    I know a number of you extol the virtues of coconut milk and thought I'd give some a go, but whenever I've looked at the ingredients, they seem contain additives. For example,

    Amoy: Coconut Extract 55%, Water, Stabiliser E466, Thickener E415 (From Wheat).

    Amoy reduced fat: Water,Coconut Extract (30%) ,Thickener - Carboxy Methyl Cellulose ,Emulsifier - Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids

    Blue Dragon: Coconut Extract (56%),Water ,Stabiliser: E466 ,Emulsifier: E471 ,Antioxidant: E330

    Those E numbers aren't very appealing...are there any brands that are just pure coconut milk (or with just water added) or are the stabilisers etc. vital for the canning process?

    I know some of you shop at Lidl or Asian grocery stores - are there any from those places that you'd recommend?

    Cheers. :)

    The Biona organic coconut milk only contains coconut and water. The cheapest place i've found it is on Amazon with their subscribe and save option, at the moment it is £9.13 for 6 tins.

    The other one I use is the one from Aldi, it's 99c. It does contain preservatives but the coconut extract % is very high and it's a great price.

    Ingredients are coconut extract 82% water, stablisers: guar gum and Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, Emulsifer: Polysorbate 60, Antioxidant: Sodium Metabisulphite
