Gaya brings to you a delicious 200ml coconut milk bottle ideal for main courses, sauces and desserts. 
Coconut milk is derived from the flesh of the coconut. It is not the liquid that can be drained out from a coconut that has been punctured, although many people assume this. Getting coconut milk from a coconut requires some processing, but the ingredient is also available in cans or bottles. Coconut milk is used as a cooking base in many recipes, particularly in the cuisine of Brazil,Thailand and other South and Southeast Asian countries, but also in West Africa, Hawaii and the West Indies.

When a coconut is cut open, the flesh can be found all along its inner walls. A ripe coconut, ideal for processing into coconut milk, should have thick, creamy white flesh.
