Coconut Milk Light is a dairy-free liquid derived from the meat of matured coconuts, diluted to reduce its fat content. It originates from tropical cuisines, such as Thai, Indian, and Caribbean, where it is used to add creamy texture and subtle sweetness to dishes like curries, soups, and desserts. Compared to regular coconut milk, the "light" version has fewer calories and less saturated fat, making it a suitable option for those seeking a lighter alternative. It contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may offer energy-boosting benefits and support metabolism. Coconut Milk Light is also rich in essential minerals like manganese and potassium and is naturally free of lactose, making it ideal for individuals with dairy sensitivities. However, it is lower in protein and may lack the fullness of nutrients found in whole coconut milk. Always check for added thickeners or preservatives in store-bought versions.
