Coconut Milk vs Coconut Water

Coconut milk and coconut water are NOT the same thing.

Coconut water = the clear liquid inside a young coconut. Drink it straight. 0 fat. 0 cooking use.

Coconut milk = made by grating and squeezing the white coconut meat. Rich. Creamy. Fatty. This is the one that cooks everything — rice and peas, curries, our coconut curry shrimp.

Don't swap them. That's like swapping cream for Gatorade.
