Because the direction of the Earth's axis of rotation determines at which point in the Earth's orbit the seasons will occur, precession will cause a particular season (for example, northern hemisphere winter) to occur at a slightly different place from year to year.
Place it (either in chunks or grated) in a plastic bag and refrigerate up to 2 days. To keep fresh longer, wrap the prepared coconut in plastic and then in aluminum foil â¦ , and freeze for up to 2 months.
It can stay in the fridge for about a week or in the freezer for a month or two. None of my recipes ever call for more than 1/2 cup of coconut milk, so I keep it frozen in 1/2 cup blocks (measure 1/2 cup into plastic containers, pop out and put in a zipper bag when frozen) so I don't have to worry about an entire can going bad before I can use it.
