Lait de Coco, or coconut milk, is a rich, creamy liquid made by blending the flesh of mature coconuts with water and straining it. Common in Southeast Asian, Caribbean, and African cuisines, it brings a tropical, slightly sweet flavor to curries, soups, desserts, and beverages. Nutritionally, coconut milk is high in healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are known to provide a quick energy source and support metabolic health. It also contains small amounts of potassium, magnesium, and iron. However, it is calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation, especially by those monitoring their fat or calorie intake. Unsweetened versions are often a healthier choice due to their lower sugar content. Coconut milk is naturally dairy-free, making it an excellent alternative for those with lactose intolerance or following a vegan diet. Its luxurious texture and versatile flavor make it a beloved ingredient worldwide.
