Great Coconut Milk

The legend says, the people in the tropics have been accustomed to consuming coconut milk, especially in the countries of Southeast Asia and India. Coconut milk from coconut meat is extracted, white, sweet and 'tasteless milk' because they contain high oil. Coconut milk has properties similar to the fruit, and is believed to build the body's immune system and defense, by getting rid of stomach bacteria, flu, colds, sore throats, boils and to protect and heal the body from various internal and external diseases.

This is reasonable, because the coconut fruit contains calcium, potassium, chloride, vitamin A and E, as such, coconut milk also contains vitamins, minerals and essential electrolytes (lauric acid) is efficacious as an anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-virus.

There are 2 kinds of coconut milk, namely:

(1) Coconut milk that comes kind of thick (thick), produced by pressing the grated coconut meat in cheesecloth.

(2) Type a thin (not too thick), produced by soaking the grated coconut in warm water and squeezed to obtain thin coconut milk.

In the process of making it or after the resulting coconut milk, you should not mix it with coconut water, which is a natural liquid from the coconut.
