What is coconut milk?

Coconut milk is not coconut water. Coconut water is the natural liquid found inside a coconut, while coconut milk is made by grinding and extracting the fleshy inner part of mature coconuts with water.

According to the international Codex standard for coconut products, coconut milk is a diluted emulsion of finely comminuted coconut flesh and water, in which soluble and suspended components are evenly distributed.

Thanks to its naturally occurring coconut fats, coconut milk has a rich and creamy texture and a characteristic exotic flavour. At lower temperatures, coconut fat solidifies naturally, which may cause the product to become thicker or separate into different layers or phases.

Coconut - origin and history:

The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is one of the most characteristic plants of tropical regions. Coconut has a long history of use in South and Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands and other tropical regions, where virtually every part of the fruit is used.

For centuries, coconut has been an important part of the traditional cuisine of many Asian and Pacific peoples. Mature coconuts are used to make coconut milk, coconut cream, desiccated coconut, coconut oil and numerous traditional dishes and desserts.

Coconut milk is particularly characteristic of the cuisines of Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and India, where it is used in spicy dishes and curries, as well as soups, sauces, rice dishes and desserts.

History and traditional use of coconut milk:

The traditional preparation of coconut milk is a relatively simple process. The fleshy part of a mature coconut is grated or finely shredded, mixed with water and then squeezed or pressed to extract the creamy coconut liquid.

In traditional Asian cuisine, coconut milk is used as a base for curries, soups, sauces, rice and noodle dishes, beverages and desserts. It adds richness, smoothness and a characteristic aroma while helping to balance spicy and aromatic seasonings.

Today, coconut milk is popular far beyond tropical countries. It is widely used in modern European cuisine and is particularly popular in vegan, vegetarian and plant-based diets as an alternative to certain dairy ingredients in a variety of recipes.

The product contains 17 g of fat per 100 g, of which 16.15 g are saturated fatty acids. Due to its relatively high fat content, coconut milk is an energy-dense food and is best consumed in moderate amounts as part of a varied and balanced diet.

Coconut naturally contains lauric acid, one of the main saturated fatty acids found in coconut fat. It is a characteristic component of coconut products and is one of the reasons why coconut has attracted interest in nutritional research.
