milky fluid extracted from the grated meat of a brown coconut (by pressing it or by passing hot water or milk through grated coconut). Staple food for those on a Paleo diet. Not the same as coconut water - a clear liquid in the fruit’s center that is tapped from young, green coconuts. The color and rich taste of coconut milk can be attributed to the high oil content (24%). Most of the fat is saturated fat (89%), with lauric acid (12:0) a major fatty acid
