What it is

Coconut milk extract is a concentrated form of coconut milk, which comes from the white flesh of mature coconuts. The flesh is typically grated and then pressed with water to extract the milky liquid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coconut milk extract as a flavoring agent and to add richness and a creamy texture to foods. It is commonly found in dairy-free beverages, smoothies, desserts, curries, and baked goods.

Health notes

Coconut milk extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of saturated fat, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). While some research suggests potential benefits of MCTs, such as energy production, more studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans. JECFA has evaluated coconut milk and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Coconut is not considered one of the nine major allergens by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
