Trying to get coconut milk in glass jars

[SundayCrepes]

I just posted this on Thai Kitchen's FB page. http://www.facebook.com/EnjoyThaiKitchen If folks would be willing to comment, it could make a difference. ( Maybe.)

"Your coconut milk is my favorite brand. However, I would like to buy it in BPA-free containers. Although there is another brand that has BPA-free cans, they still have chemicals in the can lining. What I'd really like is if your company sold coconut milk in BPA-free glass jars (as in, no BPA on the lid or a plastic glass lining.) I suspect all companies use cans for aesthetic reasons, but anyone who uses coconut milk knows it separates. (That's how I can get the cream for yummy whipped coconut cream or ice cream.) Any chance you'll start selling your coconut milk in glass jars?"

Good idea. I put a comment on the website too. I was just wondering about that very issue today when I was cooking with Thai Kitchen coconut milk. 

I bought this other product a few weeks ago.  It's called "creamed coconut."  I haven't used it yet because I'm not exactly sure how to do it.  It was packaged in a plastic bag, and seemed to be like concentrated coconut milk.  BPA free?  I don't know for sure, but I know a lot of plastic is.  The brand was "Let's do Organic."

I have something called "coconut cream concentrate." http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/coconut_cream_concentrate.htm It is essentially coconut milk/cream without the added water. I added water to make it into cream so I could make ice cream, but it was grainy. Since I put honey in it, I stored it in the fridge and have been adding it to the kids' morning smoothies. In time I'll start cooking with it, but I'm not there yet.

I bought some frozen coconut milk. One of these days I'll thaw it to see if I get enough cream to use for ice cream or whatever.
