Light coconut milk

Light coconut milk is a liquid ingredient obtained from the grated pulp of mature coconuts, which has had its fat content reduced to make it lighter and lower in calories than traditional coconut milk. This type of milk retains the characteristic flavor and creamy texture, making it ideal for adding an exotic and tropical touch to various recipes.

The origin of coconut milk lies in the tropical regions of Asia and the Pacific, where the coconut is a staple food. Today, it is widely used in many cuisines around the world, especially in Asian, Caribbean, and Latin American dishes.

Properties: Light coconut milk is rich in minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and iron, and also contains natural antioxidants. Due to its lower fat content compared to full-fat coconut milk, it is a healthier option for those looking to reduce their caloric intake without sacrificing flavor or creaminess in their preparations.

In different Latin American countries, light coconut milk may simply be known as low-fat coconut milk or skimmed coconut milk. However, the term light coconut milk is the most common and recognized in the culinary context.
