Common questions

Is Essentials Coconut Cream healthy?

Essentials Coconut Cream scores 90/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

What is in Essentials Coconut Cream?

Essentials Coconut Cream lists 3 ingredients, starting with Coconut Extract, Water and Thickener (Guar Gum). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Essentials Coconut Cream contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Essentials Coconut Cream’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Essentials Coconut Cream?

Essentials Coconut Cream is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.
