About Leche de coco

Leche de coco, or coconut milk, is a creamy liquid derived from the grated flesh of mature coconuts, commonly used in Southeast Asian, Caribbean, and tropical cuisines. Rich in flavor, it serves as a versatile ingredient in curries, soups, desserts, and beverages. Nutritionally, coconut milk provides healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are known to support energy production and metabolism. It is a source of essential nutrients such as manganese, copper, and vitamins C, E, and B-complex. However, it is calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, so moderation is key to enjoying its benefits while avoiding excessive intake. Leche de coco is also naturally dairy-free, making it a popular alternative for those with lactose intolerances or following plant-based diets. Always check for added sugars or preservatives in store-bought versions to ensure a purer, healthier option.
