Coconut Milk

Creamy pressed-coconut liquid that forms the base of countless curries and braises.

Coconut milk is the opaque, faintly sweet liquid pressed from grated coconut flesh and water. It is the backbone of Southeast Asian, South Indian, and Caribbean cooking — simmered into curries, soups, and rice, or set into desserts. Thinner and more pourable than coconut cream, it lends richness without overwhelming.
