365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Light Coconut Milk — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Light Coconut Milk by 365 by Whole Foods Market MUNCH — score 100/90.

Three ingredients: organic coconut, water, and a small amount of guar gum to stop it separating. Note this is the light version, so it is mostly water with roughly a third of the fat of full-fat canned coconut milk. Clean and honest, but reach for the full-fat can if you want richness for curries.

Why this verdict

• Only three recognizable ingredients, all whole-food or natural.
• Organic coconut is the primary ingredient with no added sugar or preservatives.
• Guar gum is a natural fiber thickener, the single processing aid here.
• Light simply means diluted with water, so it is lower in coconut fat and body than full-fat.

Ingredients (3)

• Organic coconut (safe) — Whole-food primary ingredient; source of the fat and flavor.
• Purified water (safe) — Dilutes the coconut cream; why this is the light version.
• ORGANIC GUAR GUM (safe) — Natural plant-fiber thickener that keeps the milk from separating; harmless in these amounts.
