Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is a creamy liquid extracted from the grated flesh of mature coconuts. It has a rich, slightly sweet flavor and a smooth texture, often used in cooking and baking. Produced by soaking the shredded coconut in water and then straining it, coconut milk can be found in full-fat or lighter versions. It is a popular dairy alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or following plant-based diets. Beyond culinary uses, coconut milk supplies healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may support energy and metabolic health.
