Question: is there a difference between coconut milk and coconut beverage?
Answer: Usually the can has a layer of thick coconut fat at the top. The cream is similar to the milk, but with a more of the fat. ... 'coconum beverage' may start with the same base, but I suspect it has been diluted more, so it has the consistency of soy milk and other milk substitutes. It's intended for drinking, not cooking.
