Canned Coconut Milk

Canned Coconut Milk is a creamy, plant-based liquid made by extracting the fat and juice from grated coconut meat; it is widely used in Southeast Asian, South Asian and Caribbean cuisines for curries, soups and desserts. It is rich and silky, and commonly found canned as a convenient pantry ingredient. Nutritionally, Canned Coconut Milk is energy-dense and high in fat — notably 21.1g of saturated fat per 100g — with only modest protein and little to no fiber; it also contributes minerals such as manganese and copper. Because of its high saturated fat content, it’s best used as a flavourful ingredient or occasional treat rather than a daily staple, but it remains a useful way to add creamy texture and tropical flavour to both sweet and savory dishes.
