About Coconut
Do you know that coconut is a wholesome body-building food?
Down in the tropics where the coconuts grow, the sturdy natives use the pure, white meat of this delicious nut as their principle food.
Pound for pound it is far more nourishing than beef and other standard foods. According to government reports, one pound of dried coconut equals two and one-half pounds of beef.
Of course, to get the full food value of coconut, you must get it fresh and ripe and juicy. That is why BAKER’S CANNED COCONUT is the finest on the market today.
Fresh, carefully selected coconuts are shipped right to the BAKER factory—here they are opened, grated and sealed in airtight cans. All the work is done in BAKER’S bright, spotless, sunshiny factory, where everything is as clean as in the cleanest home kitchen.
No artificial preservative is used in Baker’s Canned Coconut.
The BLUE can contains Baker’s fresh, ripe coconut, canned in its own milk. Much of this milk is absorbed by the coconut so that it is particularly soft and juicy. When you use the coconut that comes in the Blue can, be very sure to carefully press out all the moisture before adding the coconut to your cakes and pies, otherwise, you will have more moisture than your recipe calls for. This milk can be pressed out in accordance with directions on the can or you can put the coconut in your potato ricer or fruit press and squeeze the milk out. This coconut milk can be used in place of, or mixed with, cow’s milk in your baking and adds to the delightful flavor of your cakes and pies and candies.
The YELLOW can contains fresh, naturally moist coconut without the milk, sweetened with pure cane sugar.
There are just two ways to get really fresh, ripe coconut. One is to know how to select a coconut, then open it and pare it and grate it—the other way is to simply open a new BAKER can. You get all of the flavor—none of the work.
The following recipes are practical and very easily made. They have all been tested in the BAKER COCONUT KITCHEN.
If the Blue can is used, be sure to press
the milk out as directed on the label.
