Canned Reduced-Fat Coconut Milk

Canned Reduced-Fat Coconut Milk is a canned, reduced-fat version of coconut milk commonly used in Southeast Asian and Caribbean cooking to add creaminess to curries, soups and desserts. It still contains 5.5g of saturated fat per 100g, so it provides the coconut flavor and mouthfeel with less fat than full-fat coconut milk. Nutrition-wise, reduced-fat coconut milk is lower in calories and total fat than regular canned coconut milk but remains low in protein and fiber; it does supply small amounts of minerals such as manganese and selenium. From a health perspective, it offers the culinary benefits of coconut milk (rich texture and a plant-based alternative to dairy) but should be used in moderation because of its remaining saturated fat content; swapping to unsweetened plant milks or low-fat dairy can reduce saturated fat and calories while keeping similar cooking functionality.Read more
