Half a cup of unsweetened coconut milk offers a creamy, tropical addition to various dishes, beverages, and recipes. Originating from Southeast Asian, Indian, and Caribbean cuisines, coconut milk is made by blending the grated flesh of mature coconuts with water, then straining it to create a smooth liquid. This unsweetened variety has a mild coconut flavor and is free from added sugars. Nutritionally, it is relatively low in calories compared to sweetened versions, with healthy fats known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may support energy and metabolism. It provides vitamins like C, E, and some B vitamins, alongside minerals like magnesium and potassium. However, it is relatively high in saturated fats, so moderation is key for those monitoring fat intake. Coconut milk is also a versatile dairy-free option, making it a great choice for vegan, paleo, or lactose-free diets.
