In recent years, there’s been a growing shift toward plant-based products in kitchens around the world. From health-conscious foodies to eco-minded home cooks, more people are exploring dairy-free alternatives that align with both their dietary needs and sustainability goals.
One standout star in this plant-based movement? Coconut milk.
At FoodGrid, we’re proud to offer premium aseptic coconut milk made from non-GMO coconuts, with a rich 17–18% fat content, and completely free from dairy and soy. Whether you’re a professional chef or a casual home cook, coconut milk is a versatile ingredient that brings flavor, nutrition, and creativity to your kitchen.
What Is Coconut Milk & How Is It Made?
Coconut milk is made by grating the flesh of mature coconuts and soaking it in hot water. The mixture is then strained to extract the milk. This process yields two types:
Thick coconut milk: The first extraction, with a higher fat content and rich creaminess.
Thin coconut milk: A second extraction using diluted coconut pulp, ideal for soups and lighter dishes.
