Interesting. Why did he discard the coconut water? Is there not enough demand for coconut water to make it worthwhile to save? I think if I were ordering from him, I would ask for both the ground coconut and the coconut water.
Coincidentally, I recently tried So Delicious brand of unsweetened coconut milk in cartons and didn't get the usual nausea I get from coconut milk and coconut fat in general. Store-bought coconut milk products have always triggered a certain amount of nausea for me in the past, but they were all canned and I was curious whether a carton would work any better for me and for some reason it apparently did. Is canned coconut milk heated higher than that sold in cartons, I wonder? Maybe I'm developing better tolerance of MCT oils?
The ingredients on the carton are:
Organic coconut milk (non-GMO organic coconut cream, water, guar gum), calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate, carrageenan, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D-2, L-selenomethionine (selenium), zinc oxide, folic acid, vitamin B-12.
Guar gum is apparently not a healthy ingredient (though there is dispute on that) and certainly not Paleo and I think I read that all commercial coconut milks are heated, so this likely won't become a staple food for me.
I also then tried some coconut water that I noticed the market has started selling in plastic bottles. It didn't trigger any nausea either, though coconut water doesn't usually trigger the nausea for me, except when it comes from green coconuts, it seems, so perhaps this was from mature coconuts.
