Coconut milk is a rich, creamy liquid extracted from the grated meat of mature coconuts. It is a staple ingredient in many tropical and Asian cuisines, prized for its smooth texture and naturally sweet, nutty flavor. Coconut milk is commonly used in curries, soups, stews, and desserts, adding depth and richness to both savory and sweet dishes. It is also a popular dairy-free alternative in smoothies, coffee, and baked goods, especially among those following vegan or lactose-free diets. In addition to its culinary uses, coconut milk contains healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are believed to support energy metabolism and overall wellness.
