Coconut Milk

Water and the white flesh of brown coconuts are used to make coconut milk. It is sold in cartons with milk and is a more diluted version of the canned coconut milk used in Southeast Asian and Indian cuisines.

Coconut milk has a smooth texture and a mildly sweet coconut taste. 45 calories, 4 grams of fat, no protein, and nearly no carbs are included in one cup (240 ml). Coconut milk has one-third the calories, half the fat, and much less protein and carbs than cow's milk. Around 90% of the calories in coconut milk come from saturated fat, particularly medium-chain triglycerides, a type of saturated fat (MCTs). MCTs may help reduce appetite, help weight loss, and improve blood cholesterol levels more than other fats, according to some research.
