It is more like cakes of soap. You cut off a junk and crush it and mix
it with hot water. It is not quite as good as canned coconut milk but it
is a lot less wasteful. I tried it a couple months ago and it wasn't
bad. The recipe in which I use most often use coconut milk uses only
half a can. For less than the cost of a can of coconut milk I can get a
box of the dried stuff that will do 6-8 batches of that recipe.
