Unsweetened coconut milk is a creamy, plant-based liquid made by blending coconut meat with water and straining it. Native to tropical regions and widely used in Southeast Asian, Caribbean, and Indian cuisines, it lends richness to curries, soups, smoothies, and desserts. Free from added sugars, unsweetened coconut milk is a lower-calorie option compared to its sweetened counterpart. It typically contains healthy fats, including medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may support energy production and metabolism. Additionally, it provides small amounts of minerals like potassium and magnesium. However, coconut milk is relatively high in saturated fat, so moderation is key for individuals monitoring heart health. It is naturally dairy-free, making it suitable for vegans and those with lactose intolerance. Often fortified with vitamin D and calcium, unsweetened coconut milk can also support bone health when chosen as an enriched product. Always check labels for additives and preservatives.
