Organic Coconut Milk - 13.5oz - Good & Gather™

I usually buy the "Thai" brand in the red can and occasionally the brand with the yellow can - both unsweetened - to make sticky coconut jasmine rice in the instant pot. One thing that the other brands have in common is you have to shake the cans and scrape the cream off the top and really mix it will, and even then when the rice is finished it looks a bit foamy on top due to the coconut. This stuff? Not at all and I knew right away it was 'wrong' as it was the consistency and color of plain milk without the strong coconut scent you get from the other brands when you first open the can. Not only that, but sometimes you can burn the bottom of coconut rice due to the natural sugars of the coconut, but this stuff didn't even fully absorb so some grains were undercooked beyond the point of al-dente; it didn't want to absorb and instead of the scummy natural coconut you have to blend in after the rice is finished and mixed, it was all just this weird white coating with extra liquid. It was fine date-wise and there were no dents in the can - it is the brand and whatever they do to process it. I don't typically buy organic either, but the other brands when I've had to spend more to buy the organic ones they were still traditional consistency whereas this was like skim milk. AVOID!!!

I thought I was crazy until I saw these reviews! I just ruined a pretty expensive meal. I even had two cans and smelled the other because I was certain that there was something wrong. It really smells and tastes like Play-Doh. I wish I had even smelled the can before I put it in there.

Taste like playdoh it’s horrendous only got it because the coconut milk I usually buy in specific stores

Terrible smell and taste

Came to the comments and confirmed my suspicions… this stuff is so strange. Has and overly sweet and almost oat/cashew milk smell to it. Oddly thick as well. I half wonder if it’s something else entirely. I ruined two staple recipes with it. Only bought it bc my grocery is out. Won’t buy it again.

Worst tasting coconut milk I have ever consumed. Tastes like plastic/synthetic. Will never buy again.

the texture was pretty thin so I dont know good it would be for cooking. It also does not taste like coconut, it has an oatmilky flavor?? GG products are usually amazing but this was kind of a miss

I mix this with a few tbsp of pure maple syrup and chia seeds to make a coconut chia seed pudding to add on top of my yogurt bowls. Very rich and creamy with clean ingredients. Based off the negative reviews it doesn’t seem to taste good when used for cooking. Definitely my go to coconut milk.

Disgusting. Ruined my recipe. Doesn't taste at all like coconut milk. Smells and taste like burnt plastic.

I like da coconut milk yuh

This canned coconut milk is one of the best I’ve found and surely the best value. Goya and other brands have such chalky and lumpy canned coconut milk—this one is nice and smooth and thick. My go to for baking and cooking these days.

Easily the worst coconut milk I’ve ever tasted. What even is this stuff?! No coconut flavor, and it just tastes… odd. And wrong. And awful. So awful that after opening a second can just to see if the first was an anomaly, I ended up pouring both cans down the drain. It’s really disappointing because most G&G products I’ve tried have been great. Don’t waste your money.

Stinks couldn't use in my recipe. No coconut smell. Has some distinct sweet smell.

I bought this a couple months ago and thought I had a bad batch. Opened two cans and both smelled awful, and tasted worse. It was summer so I thought maybe something happened in shipping. No. I purchased this today and opened the can. Same awful smell and taste. There are only two ingredients on the label. How is the flavor so revolting?? Zero stars.

Please don’t buy this so Target will stop selling this garbage. If I was able to I would’ve given this a zero but I had to choose 1 star to be able to write this review to save you from ruining a great recipe. I can’t quite identify the taste but I can tell you it tastes absolutely nothing like coconut milk. Disappointing is not the best word to describe this. I was more shocked to find that it tastes nothing like coconut milk and very confused as to how they arrived at such a horrible outcome for this product. I’m also shocked that it’s still on the shelves. Another shocker was that it looked more like a can of ceiling white paint upon opening. Could that be what happened? It was a mix up at the paint factory? Was there no quality control crew on this? If there was they all need to be fired. I feel very bad for people who have never had coconut milk and proceed to buy this because it gives coconut milk a very bad name. It’s just plain awful and I’m sorry if you were a victim of this as well.

Why would organic coconut milk come in a can that’s not BPA (Bisphenol A) free? What’s the point of organic when the BPA is so toxic. We searched this product over and over and there is no label stating BPA free. Shame on you Target.

I usually purchase the Taste of Thai brand but I was in Target so I bought this one. Upon opening it, it had a very artificially nutty but sweet smell. I was confused because I thought it was unsweetened but upon further inspection, it just wasn’t good lol. The smell is very off-putting and hard to counteract with seasoning in cooking so I had to throw it out. Sticking with my og brand!

More expensive than grocery stores but still good quality and flavor

Doesn't smell or taste like coconut.

We bought these in a pinch b/c the other brands we like were out, and the flavor of this coconut milk was odd and very unpleasant. I do not recommend and will not buy again! Bleh
