How does one harvest sterile coconut milk?
Comments (4)albert 135 Here is what I found on the site "Nutritional News-Nutritional value of green coconut water" 'Hermetically sealed, hypotonic, pyrogen-free and closely resembling blood plasma, its electrolyte composition having a qualitative resemblance to intracellular fluid. Coconut water has proven to be life-saving in many areas of the world where more sophisticated and conventional intravenous fluids were either too costly or not available. The fibrous outer husk of the coconut is removed and the smooth inner shell is insisted to insure its integrity. A slice is cut from the stem end, exposing three eyes. After the area is cleansed a sterile needle is inserted into one of the eyes to produce positive pressure, and a trocar (a surgical instrument used to drain off internal fluids) into a second eye from which the fluid can be drained. This can then be strained through a single layer of gauze in a funnel to screen out particular matter, into a transfusion bottle. This fluid is considered ready for use with no processing. Many reports speak of direct transfusion into the patient without the use of intervening filter of bottle.' And for what it is worth, coconut water is the clear liquid of the coconut while coconut milk is the liquid which is expressed from the grated meat of the mature coconut. This 'milk' is used in cooking and the extraction of coconut oil....See MoreCoconut Milk to clone plants?
Comments (9)This should help shed more light: Cytokinins "The effect of cytokinins was first reported when it was found that adding the liquid endosperm of coconuts to developing plant embryos in culture stimulated their growth. The stimulating growth factor was found to be cytokinin, a hormone that promotes cytokinesis (cell division). Almost 200 naturally-occurring or synthetic cytokinins are known, to date. Cytokinins are most abundant in growing tissues, such as roots, embryos, and fruits, where cell division is occurring. Cytokinins are known to delay senescence in leaf tissues, promote mitosis, and stimulate differentiation of the meristem in shoots and roots. Many effects on plant development are under the influence of cytokinins, either in conjunction with auxin or another hormone. For example, apical dominance seems to result from a balance between auxins that inhibit lateral buds and cytokinins that promote bushier growth" from - https://www.boundless.com/biology/plant-form-and-physiology/plant-sensory-systems-and-responses/auxins-cytokinins-and-gibberellins/ My conclusion is that coconut milk should be used in conjunction with a rooting hormone, not just left in diluted coconut milk concoction itself. Willow tree tea mixed with coconut milk recipe, might work. Here is a link that might be useful: Plant Hormones...See MoreFrozen coconut milk
Comments (11)I wanted to make coconut ice cream today and found this recipe here, but I did not follow it exactly. Instead I used 1 can (18 oz) coconut cream 1-1/2 cups heavy cream 1/2 cup coconut milk 2/3 cup sugar 2 tbsp Amaretto I had considered making a custard, since I was using some coconut milk (which is very thin and freezes solid), but I thought the Amaretto would soften it sufficiently. I bought the coconut cream (Savoy brand) at a Thai market, and it was larger than I expected - more than two cups. I have no idea how this will turn out, but I will adjust the recipe next time if I do not love it. Kevin does not like coconut (except in curry, and I do not like coconut in curry), and so it is best for me to make something frozen if I use coconut. Coconut ice cream is one of my all time favorites, and it reminds me of being on the beach in Mexico, where the ice cream is made from fresh coconuts. I was inspired to make this ice cream because I bought some coconut milk eggnog and like that as much as I do regular eggnog. I'm also thinking of buying some eggnog that I like and putting it directly into the ice cream maker. Low temps lately have been in the mid to upper 50s, and so it hasn't been all that cold here, although it's supposed to dip down to 45° Christmas morning, which is about as cold as it gets here. This week-end it is not supposed to get above 60°, which is pretty rare, but I will be eating ice cream anyway....See MoreCoconut milk in cornbread?
Comments (9)There are recipes for Coconut Cornbread using coconut milk (as well as shredded coconut). I buy Wilderness Family Naturals Powdered Coconut Milk by the 5-pound bag and had this recipe in my stash to try using the reconstituted coconut milk. Can't vouch for it because I haven't made it yet, but it is an example of using coconut milk in cornbread. Coconut Cornbread (in a skillet) 1-1/2 c. cornmeal 1-1/2 c. whole wheat flour 3 T. coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar) 1 t. sea salt 2-1/2 c. water (or coconut milk) 1/4 c. coconut oil (or olive or vegetable oil) 1 c. unsweetened, shredded coconut 1 t. baking soda 1 T. coconut vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) 1. Preheat the oven to 400-degrees F. 2. Mix ingredients and pour into cast iron pan (batter will seem very liquidy). 3. Bake for 30-minutes or so. -Grainlady...See More
