What to know about KLF Coconad Coconut Milk Powder

Coconut milk powder with 57 g saturated fat per 100 g

KLF Coconad Coconut Milk Powder is a 100 g pack of dried coconut milk: coconut milk solids (77.5%), modified food starch (maltodextrin), milk protein (sodium caseinate) and a stabilizer, 339 (iii). Cooks buy it as a shelf-stable stand-in for fresh coconut milk in Kerala stew, fish and prawn curry, Thai curry and payasam.

Per 100 g it has 697 kcal, 61 g fat of which 57 g is saturated, 9 g protein, 28 g carbohydrate (11 g total sugar, 4 g of it added) and 93 mg sodium. One tablespoon, the 6 g serve on the pack, gives 41 kcal and 3.4 g saturated fat. The pack says 100 g makes 1 litre of coconut milk.

The name and the front are mostly straight: coconut milk solids lead the list and no preservatives, artificial colours or flavours are listed. What the pack leaves out is that the powder is also built on starch and milk protein, so it is not simply dried coconut. CleanPlate scores it EB5.

Why KLF Coconad Coconut Milk Powder scores EB5

Nutrition is an E because the powder is mostly fat with no fibre or micronutrients declared. Ingredients are a B on a short list led by coconut milk solids. Risk is a 5 on 57 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Energy is 697 kcal per 100 g, and fat is 61 g of it. Protein is 9 g per 100 g, mostly from the added milk protein, and that is not enough to earn credit against the fat load.

No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade. Per tablespoon the amounts are small, but the grade reads the food per 100 g.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list is short and plain: coconut milk solids at 77.5%, then modified food starch (maltodextrin), milk protein (sodium caseinate) and a stabilizer. No preservative, colour or flavour is listed, and there is no hydrogenated fat.

The sodium phosphate stabilizer, 339 (iii), costs ingredient points. The remaining three ingredients carry no declared percentage, which is a small label gap but not a hollow promise.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 5

Energy and saturated fat drive the 5. Saturated fat is 57 g per 100 g, more than eleven times the 5 g high line, and energy is 697 kcal per 100 g.

Added sugar (4 g per 100 g) and sodium (93 mg per 100 g) play small parts, and trans fat is declared as 0 g. One tablespoon has 3.4 g saturated fat.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does KLF Coconad Coconut Milk Powder live up to its claims?

The no-preservatives and no-artificial-colours-or-flavours claims hold, and coconut milk solids are 77.5% of the powder. The fresh coconut milk framing is a reconstituted powder with starch and milk protein.

  • Product name

    “KLF Coconad Coconut Milk Powder”

    Holds

    Coconut milk solids are 77.5% of the powder. The rest is starch, milk protein and a stabilizer, so it is not dairy-free.

  • On the pack

    “Fresh Coconut Milk in seconds”

    Be careful

    Warm water turns the powder into coconut milk quickly, but it is reconstituted milk that also contains maltodextrin starch and milk protein.

  • On the pack

    “No Added Preservatives”

    Holds

    No preservative is listed. The stabilizer 339 (iii) is an additive but not a preservative.

  • On the pack

    “No Artificial Colors & Flavors”

    Holds

    No colour or flavour appears in the four-item ingredient list.

What's in KLF Coconad Coconut Milk Powder?

Coconut milk solids lead at 77.5%, followed by maltodextrin starch, milk protein and a sodium phosphate stabilizer. The saturated fat and the stabilizer are what to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Coconut milk solids come first at 77.5%, so most of the powder is dried coconut milk. Modified food starch (maltodextrin) is the carrier that helps it dissolve and bulks it out. Milk protein (sodium caseinate) adds protein and body, and the sodium phosphate stabilizer, 339 (iii), keeps the milk smooth when mixed. The last three carry no declared percentage.

Ingredients to watch

  • Saturated fatConcern

    57 g per 100 g, from the coconut fat. One tablespoon (6 g) has 3.4 g.

  • EnergyConcern

    697 kcal per 100 g, mostly fat. One tablespoon has 41 kcal.

  • Stabilizer 339 (iii)Worth watching

    A sodium phosphate that costs ingredient points. It is the only additive in the list.

  • Modified food starch (maltodextrin)Worth watching

    A refined carrier that adds carbohydrate. Added sugar is 4 g per 100 g.

  • Short, plain listFine

    Four ingredients, no preservative, colour, flavour or hydrogenated fat, and trans fat is 0 g.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.

Recipes with KLF Coconad Coconut Milk Powder

Use the thin-milk method in stews and curries, and measure payasam spoonfuls. One tablespoon (6 g) gives 41 kcal and 3.4 g saturated fat.

Vegetable stew, thin-milk style

Use the pack's thin-milk method of 1 tsp (2 g) per cup of warm water, a third of the thick-milk amount, to keep the saturated fat down.

Fish or prawn curry

Stir in thick milk made from 1 tbsp (6 g, 41 kcal) per cup at the end of cooking, stirring continuously as the pack says.

Thai curry

Mix the powder into warm water first, then add it to the paste, so one tablespoon covers a cup of sauce at 3.4 g saturated fat.

Payasam

Measure the spoonfuls and let the other ingredients do the sweetening, since the powder already has 4 g added sugar per 100 g.
