## 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.

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
