Coconut milk, a liquid that comes from the grated meat of a brown coconut, is not coconut water. The color and rich taste of coconut milk are attributed to its high oil content, most of which is saturated fat. Coconut milk is a popular food ingredient used in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Southern China, the Caribbean and the north of South America.
