Re: Machine that mashes coconut meat into a fine paste....wanted.

[Guest guest]

I use a sharp knife to scape the coconut meat out and put it into food

processor. It does become a paste.

I use this method to make coconut chutneys.

Im hoping that there are some that know of a machine that could be used

at home that would mash coconut meat into a fine paste.Not

desicated,this is to course.

What I want to do is have the juice and the meat turned into a " coconut

milk " so that I get all the benifits of the whole mature coconut,not

just the oil.

I know there are home machines that grate the meat out of the

coconut,but I want it ground a lot finer than that.

Any ideas appreciated.

The Green Star Juicer will extract milk from fresh coconut. This is the only

juicer/machine that I know of that can juice coconut. I'm sure you can get

the juicer from several places. One place I know of that sells it is

www.simplycoconut.com.

Thanks Bruce,

I will have a look at that site.

What I am trying to do is to have the whole contents of the coconut

like a smooth past...or like a substitute for dairy milk.

I bought a container of coconut creme that was from singapore...boy it

was delicious..like whipped cream...but you can bet it was heat

treated.And it came out of the container like whipped cream.

I dont want just one part of the coconut.I feel so differant from the

oil,so I want the whole thing !

[Guest guest]

coconut cream fron Singapore....there are no cocnut plantations in

Singapore...the original coconut must have come from Malaysia or Indonesia.. and

they are passing it off as a Singapore product???

It was a singaporian company that processed it.I kept the label because

it so good.but I doubt I will buy it again because of the heat

treatment.

A Vita Mix would do that job effortlessly.

I have been looking at purchasing a Vita Mix, but have also seen something

called the Total Blender by Blendtec. I understand that this used to be the

K-Tec Champ Hp3 blender. Does anyone have any feedback on these two items

(Vita Mix and the Total Blender) and know how they would do with making

green smoothies with VCO or whole chunks of coconut, etc.?

Thanks,

ANY high speed blender will damage the product and delicate components.

Vita mix blades reach speeds of 240KPH !!

From the research Ive done,these arent the things to use for things

like coconut chunks or to preserve nutrients.

I am still trying to find a low speed grinding device that wont destroy

the good things in the food it processes,yet has a container like a

blender.I dont think Im going to have any luck with this one.

[Guest guest]

I have a Vita Mix and I disagree with your statement of preserving

nutrients. How would mashing up a food affect the nutrients in it? You're

right, the blades can reach a speed of 240 mph, if you want it to go that

fast. That allows the fiber to break down so fine that it releases the

nutrients more so than just your teeth or a regular blender can do. I guess

it would be like chewing something for hours before swallowing - that

wouldn't affect the nutrients. You're not adding or taking anything away,

just mashing it up.

Speed causes friction,friction causes heat,heat causes damage.

Being on this forum proves that heat damages VCO,so with other

organic materials.

This is only two links of many that talks about heat damage from high

speed blending.I dont agree with everything these people say,but they

make valid points about juice extraction.

Compared to using a good grade juice extractor (one that does not use

high friction or ripping or tearing of the food, which causes enzyme

destruction). We are all aware these days that cooking kills

essential vitamins and enzymes in food.

Are you aware that fast high-speed juice extractors have the same

destroying effects, because high speed and friction = heat. Enzymes

are sensitive to temperatures above approx 40`c and after 48`c they

become sluggish. After 50`c the life of the enzyme is extinct, they

are dead. "

" Your Juicer Should Have Low Speeds to Protect Your Vegetables

Inexpensive juicers are centrifugal and spin at very high speeds to

do their juicing. Common masticating and centrifugal juicers and

blenders operate at high speed, anywhere from 1,000 to 24,000 RPM.

The high speeds heat up the juice and cause damage to some of the

perishable nutrients in the vegetables.

The Vitamixer is probably the worst juicer in this category. It is

advertised as as juicer but it is really a high powered blender and

can actually grind grains. The blades spin around at over 240 miles

per hour. This high speed heats up the juice and damages the

perishable nutrients.

The Omega is a single gear machine that turns at a slow 80 RPM's to

ensure that nothing is lost through heated elements in your juice.

There is no wildly spinning basket or destructive, high-speed

chopping blade. Therefore, heat and impact shock are virtually

eliminated and oxidation is significantly reduced . The result? More

of the delicate nutrients survive! "

As far as I know, coconut oil is one oil that is not easily damaged by heat.

Using the blender at medium speed for a shor time will not damage the coconut

milk..

With regards to extracting coconut milk, we Asians have been doing it by hand

for generations. This is done by scraping the meat of the coconut manually with

the aid of a coconut scraper and then hand-squeezing the milk.
