Coconut milk

The coconut milk described here is the fluid drained from a fresh coconut, often called coconut water, rather than coconut milk made from the flesh. It is mainly water, with 92g water per 100g. It provides 4.9g carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, alongside 0.3g fat and 280mg potassium.

Potassium helps nerves and muscles function normally and contributes to fluid balance in the body. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their carbohydrate or sugar intake. These figures do not describe canned coconut milk or coconut-based milk alternatives, which can have different nutrient contents. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
