Light Coconut Milk, available at Whole Foods, is a creamy, plant-based liquid derived from coconut meat and water, offering a lower-fat alternative to traditional coconut milk. Commonly used in Southeast Asian, Indian, and Caribbean cuisines, it adds richness to curries, soups, smoothies, and desserts. This version contains fewer calories and less saturated fat, making it a lighter option for those mindful of their fat intake. It typically includes essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and small amounts of iron, though less concentrated than the full-fat variety. While still a source of saturated fats, these are primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may support energy metabolism and gut health. Light Coconut Milk is often minimally processed and free of added sugars, making it a versatile and health-conscious choice, though portion control is recommended for balanced dietary use. Always check the label for specific nutrient and ingredient details.
