does coconut milk go bad
Can Coconut Milk Go Bad? Like all nondairy milk products, coconut milk can in fact go bad. The shelf life of coconut milk depends on the type of milk (thick, or thin), and the packaging. Unopened coconut milk that is canned, will have a shelf life of two to five years, when properly stored. Coconut milk that is in aseptic packaging has a shelf life of between six and twelve months, and can last for up to a month after the printed expiration date when sealed and properly stored.
Coconut milk is higher in natural oils, so look out for signs of spoilage early. You can usually determine if this milk substitute has gone bad by smelling it and even tasting it a bit. If you are using canned coconut milk, it may have a stale and tin-like taste, because it starts to absorb the flavor of the can.
