Homemade coconut milk is a creamy, plant-based liquid extracted from the white flesh of mature coconuts. Commonly used in Southeast Asian, Caribbean, and Indian cuisines, it adds richness to curries, soups, and desserts. Traditionally made by blending grated coconut meat with water and straining it, homemade coconut milk contains fewer additives compared to store-bought versions. It is naturally dairy-free, making it suitable for vegan and lactose-intolerant diets. Coconut milk is a good source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may support energy metabolism. It also provides essential nutrients like iron, potassium, and magnesium. However, it is calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, so moderation is key for those watching fat intake. Homemade versions allow control over consistency and quality, making it a fresh alternative to processed varieties for healthy cooking.
