Why Does Coconut Milk Sometimes Separate Into Layers?
Coconut milk naturally separates and forms clumps at low temperatures due to its fat content. It contains both coconut oil and liquid, which do not blend well and tend to separate over time. Factors such as storage temperature and duration contribute to this process. To restore its smooth consistency, simply shake or stir well before use or gently warm it to blend the ingredients back together.
