Essential Everyday Unsweetened Coconut Milk

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Essential Everyday Unsweetened Coconut Milk scores 51/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Essential Everyday Unsweetened Coconut Milk lists 8 ingredients, starting with Coconut Extracted, Water, Distilled Monoglyceride, Guar Gum and Polysorbate 60. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 51/100 Essential Everyday Unsweetened Coconut Milk lands mid-scale — below the typical score in other dairy alternatives, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in other dairy alternatives is Trader Joe's Organic Coconut Cream at 100/100.
