Light Coconut Milk

Description

Light Coconut Milk 8-10% Fat

Our light Coconut Milk still offers a great taste but with ‘nearly half the fat content. We recommend our light coconut milk for those people who are keen to reduce their fat intake but still want a great tasting product. This low fat version is produced in Thailand from the bottom part of centrifuged coconut milk and so contains less fat. You can also use this product as an alternative to cow’s milk and is great in desserts.

Our tin has an easy open ring-pull lid so that means no faffing with a can opener!

No monkeys or animals are used in the picking of our coconuts!

To explain this a little more, a social media campaign was launched in July 2020 based on findings by the US based organisation, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Their campaign convinced many UK supermarkets to put a blanket ban all coconut products made in Thailand. This led us to comment on the situation and clear up our position on this. So just so  you know, we work closely with our partner in Thailand and we can guarantee that no monkeys are used in the harvesting of the coconuts used for our product.  Read more about this here

Coconut milk is loved for its rich, creamy texture and delightful taste, which has been extensively in Thai  as well as other Asian cuisines. With increasing inclination towards health and wellness, people are moving off dairy based milk to vegan milk alternatives, this is the reason why coconut milk has become a popular option for health enthusiasts. Here are nine compelling reasons to consider incorporating coconut milk into your daily routine:

1) Nutrients
It’s packed with essential vitamins and minerals. It contains significant amounts of manganese, copper, and magnesium, which are crucial for various bodily functions. Manganese supports bone health and metabolism, copper aids in red blood cell formation, and magnesium helps with muscle function and nerve transmission.

2) Supports Heart Health
The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) in coconut milk, particularly lauric acid, are known to support heart health. MCTs can help improve cholesterol levels by increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and potentially reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is linked to a lower risk of heart disease.

3) Boosts Immune System
Coconut milk is rich in lauric acid, a type of MCT with antimicrobial properties. Lauric acid can help strengthen the immune system by combating harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This immune-boosting effect is a beneficial addition to your diet, especially during cold and flu season.
