What it is

Organic coconut milk is a liquid made from the white flesh of mature organic coconuts. The flesh is typically grated, soaked in hot water, and then strained to extract the milk. It has a rich, creamy texture and a mild coconut flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic coconut milk as a dairy-free alternative to traditional milk and cream. Its creamy texture and flavor make it a popular ingredient in vegan desserts, curries, soups, and beverages. It can also act as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients.

Health notes

Organic coconut milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated fat, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are metabolized differently than other fats. Some research suggests MCTs may have certain health benefits, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, a component of coconut milk, and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence on the health effects of coconut milk at typical consumption levels is still being studied.

Allergen info

Coconut is considered a tree nut by the FDA for labeling purposes, making it one of the major allergens. Organic coconut milk is derived from coconuts and is therefore a tree nut allergen.
