Coconut Milk

What Is It?
Coconut milk is produced by grating the white flesh of mature coconuts, then pressing it with or without water to extract the creamy, fat-rich liquid. Indonesia, as one of the world’s largest coconut producers is a major supplier of coconut milk in both canned and powdered formats. Coconut milk contains a high proportion of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), particularly lauric acid, which has been studied for its antimicrobial and metabolic properties. Full-fat coconut milk (canned) averages around 17–24% fat content and is thick and creamy, essential for curries, soups, and desserts. Coconut cream (higher fat, lower water content) and coconut milk powder (spray-dried for shelf-stable convenience) are variant products from the same production process. Coconut milk has surged in popularity globally as a dairy-free alternative, driven by vegan, lactose-free, and paleo dietary trends.

Common Uses:

• Asian cooking & curries: The foundational liquid in Thai curries (green, red, massaman), Indonesian opor and gulai, Indian korma and dal makhani, and Vietnamese coconut-based soups. Provides a rich, creamy base that balances spice and aromatics.
• Plant-based dairy alternative: Used as a dairy-free alternative in coffee drinks, smoothies, cereals, and cooking. Coconut milk is one of the top four plant-based milks globally alongside oat, almond, and soy.
• Desserts & baking: Used in Southeast Asian desserts (pandan cake, onde-onde, bubur sumsum), Western coconut cream pie, dairy-free ice cream, and vegan whipped cream.
• Beverage & health drinks: Used in smoothies, protein shakes, and tropical cocktails (piña colada). Coconut water and coconut milk are both core ingredients in the tropical beverage category.
• Skincare & hair care: Coconut milk is used in natural beauty as a hair conditioning rinse, skin moisturising mask, and gentle facial cleanser, particularly for dry and sensitive skin.
• Infant & baby food: Used in some infant formulas and toddler nutrition products as a dairy-free, MCT-rich base, particularly in markets with high lactose intolerance rates.
