The volume of a standard can of coconut milk is typically 13.5 ounces (approximately 400 ml).
This size is very common for commercially available canned coconut milk and is widely used in recipes. While other sizes may exist, 13.5 oz is the most frequently encountered.
Factors to Consider:
- Brand Variations: While 13.5 oz is standard, check the label for the exact volume, as slight variations may occur between different brands.
- Type of Coconut Milk: The volume usually remains consistent regardless of whether it's full-fat, light, or organic coconut milk.
- International Measurements: In some regions, you might find coconut milk cans measured in milliliters (ml), often around 400 ml, which is equivalent to approximately 13.5 oz.
Therefore, when a recipe calls for a "can of coconut milk," you can safely assume it refers to a 13.5-ounce can.
