Brilio.net - Coconut milk is the main ingredient that cannot be separated from various typical Indonesian dishes . This ingredient, which comes from the juice of old coconuts, is an important component in making lodeh vegetables, opor, kotokan, fish mangut, gulai, rendang, and various fresh drinks. Currently, coconut milk is available in instant packaging which is more practical to use.
Although packaged coconut milk is more practical, many people prefer to use pure coconut milk taken directly from coconuts. Pure coconut milk is believed to have a better taste, aroma, and texture than instant coconut milk because it does not contain preservatives. However, the absence of preservatives causes pure coconut milk to rot faster.
The spoilage of pure coconut milk can be identified from its lumpy texture or sour taste. At room temperature, pure coconut milk can only last about two hours. Regarding this, a netizen with the YouTube account kang jateng shared a special storage method to extend the shelf life of coconut milk.
"This coconut milk lasts for about ten hours and is still delicious to drink and still fresh," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube kang jateng, Monday (28/10).
