Coconut Milk

Coconut Milk

Blue Dragon Coconut Milk is made from carefully selected ripe coconuts. Once the husk, coconut water and shell have been removed, the kernel is pressed to extract a creamy liquid and blended with water. This creamy liquid is known in South East Asia as Coconut Milk. Coconut Milk is the mainstay of Thai, Indian and Caribbean cooking and can be used to add a mild, coconut flavour to sweet and savoury dishes. Coconut Milk can be added to hot curries to reduce their heat and adds a creamy flavour and texture to dishes such as soups.
