Coconut Milk and Coconut Cream
Coconut  Milk  is a sweet,  milky  white cooking  base derived  from the meat  of a
mature coconut.  The color and  rich  taste of the  coconut milk can be  attributed
to the high oil  content and sugars.  Coconut milk is  prepared by  squeezing  the
grated coconut meat using a mechanical press. It's used mainly to make desserts
and rich, dry sauces.  It is also used for soup and cooking.

Once opened,  cans of coconut milk must  be  refrigerated,  and  are usually  only
good for a few days. It  should never be left at room temperature, as the milk can
turn sour and  spoil easily.  

Coconut Milk  tends to stay fresh longer, which is  important in dishes where  the
coconut flavor  is not competing  with  curries and  other spicy dishes.  If you are
concerned about the  saturated fat content in coconut milk, many  studies shows
that  saturated  fat has  shown to  be  good,  easily metabolized to give your body
quick energy. Contrary to popular myth, it doesn't transform into  bad cholesterol
to clog up arteries.  The  principal fatty  acid in coconut milk is  lauric acid,  which
is the same  fat  found  in  abundance in  mother's  milk  and is known to promote
brain  development and  contribute to  healthy bones.
