Why Coconut Milk?

There are many benefits of coconut milk. We think that coconut milk contains cholesterol. But many studies have proved that raw coconut does not contain cholesterol. Coconut will turn into cholesterol when we cook it. So, if you want to avoid cholesterol from coconut, never cook it. If you are using it in a curry or soup, first cook the curry and then add it. Due to this, there will be no cholesterol in your food.

Choose the right Coconut!
