Abstract
THE term 'coconut milk' is usually applied to the fluid contained in the centre of the nut. It seems to have a very low nutritional value, containing only about 0·4 per cent of protein; 5 per cent of carbohydrate and a negligible vitamin and calcium content. Its calorific value is only about 20 per 100 gm.
