Creamed Coconut

Creamed Coconut is a concentrated form of coconut flesh used in many South and Southeast Asian dishes for its rich, creamy texture and intense coconut flavor. It is often grated and pressed into a solid block or sold as a paste for curries, sauces and baking. Nutritionally, Creamed Coconut is very energy-dense and high in fat — particularly saturated fat, providing 57g of saturated fat per 100g — and also supplies some fiber and trace minerals such as manganese and copper. Use it sparingly when you want pronounced coconut richness. Because most of its calories come from saturated fats rather than protein or protective plant compounds, it’s best treated as a flavoring or ingredient rather than a staple source of nutrition; lighter coconut milks or blended silken tofu can be used when a lower-fat creamy option is preferred.Read more
