Coconut Rice

Coconut rice is a dish made by cooking rice with coconut milk instead of water. This unique cooking method adds a subtle, nutty flavor to the rice and gives it a creamy texture. Coconut rice is a staple in many Southeast Asian, Caribbean and Latin American countries. It is typically served as a side dish or as a base for a variety of different curries and stews.

One cup of cooked coconut rice contains around 286 calories, 5 grams of protein, 47 grams of carbohydrates, and 8 grams of fat. Coconut milk, the main ingredient in coconut rice, is high in saturated fat, but it also contains lauric acid, a type of medium-chain triglyceride that may have a positive effect on cholesterol levels. Coconut rice is also a good source of manganese, an essential mineral that helps support bone health and aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates and protein.
