There are a wealth of coconut products available to consumers
around the world. In the U.S., however, there are only a handful of foods available that
are manufactured with a significant level of coconut (i.e., desiccated
coconut, coconut milk, etc.), and even fewer that contain no additives and/or
preservatives or are not made with coconut oil processed with solvents. [Solvent
extraction with liquid hexane -- a petroleum derived solvent -- allows coconut oil manufacturers to increase their yields by using solvents to
capture some of the remaining coconut oil that traditional milling cannot
remove.]
