What it is

Coconutmilk is a creamy, opaque liquid extracted from the grated white flesh of mature coconuts. It is made by pressing the coconut meat, often with added water, to create a rich liquid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coconutmilk as a dairy alternative in various food products. It provides a rich texture and distinct flavor to plant-based milks, yogurts, frozen desserts, and savory dishes.

Health notes

Coconutmilk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fat, primarily saturated fat. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated coconutmilk as a food additive, as it is considered a whole food ingredient.

Allergen info

Coconuts are botanically classified as a fruit, but the FDA recognizes them as a tree nut for food labeling purposes due to potential allergic reactions. Therefore, coconutmilk is considered a tree nut allergen.
