*This may sound like an infomercial, but coconut is something I know way too much about. I ran the Franklin Baker Coconut Company in the Philippines for 15 years. One thing about coconut is that it comes from a tropical environment that is susceptible to microbiological contamination. Salmonella can be a big problem. I recommend Baker’s coconut because I know Baker’s uses a proprietary pasteurization process to ensure product safety. Beyond this, it has been said that on my tombstone it will say, “He knew coconut.”
