Coconut milk is a staple in the author's pantry, known for its creamy texture and flavor-enhancing properties in a variety of dishes. It serves as a dairy-free alternative essential for vegan recipes and for individuals with lactose intolerance. While the convenience of canned coconut milk is appreciated, the author emphasizes the importance of selecting high-quality products with minimal ingredients. The ideal coconut milk should contain only coconut and water, avoiding sweeteners and stabilizers that undermine flavor. The article concludes with recommendations for reputable brands known for their high coconut content.
Buying a good-quality coconut milk as opposed to one bolstered with sweeteners often makes the difference between a great dish and a bad one.
I appreciate the convenience of the canned coconut milk because making coconut milk from scratch is laborious... It has to be broken, its flesh grated, then soaked in hot water.
