About Light coconut milk
Light coconut milk is a versatile ingredient derived from the flesh of mature coconuts and diluted with water to reduce its fat content. Popular in Southeast Asian, Indian, and Caribbean cuisines, it serves as a flavorful base for curries, soups, sauces, and desserts. Compared to regular coconut milk, light coconut milk contains fewer calories and less saturated fat, making it a healthier option for those watching their fat intake. It provides small amounts of key nutrients like iron, magnesium, and potassium but lacks the protein or fiber found in other plant-based options. While it can complement a balanced diet, moderation is advised due to its saturated fat content, which may impact heart health if consumed excessively. Its creamy texture and subtly sweet taste make it perfect for enhancing a wide range of dishes while offering a lighter alternative to traditional coconut milk.
