Coconut milk is made from the grated flesh of mature coconuts and water. It has a rich and creamy texture with a subtle coconut flavor. Coconut milk is high in healthy fats and calories, making it a filling option. It's used in curries, soups, desserts, and beverages like smoothies. There are different varieties: canned (thicker and richer) and carton (thinner, used similarly to dairy milk).
