Coconut is the fruits of the coconut palm, which can grow to thirty meters in height. The plant’s origin is yet to be identified, yet it is probably indigenous to Southeast Asia where coconuts suitable for germination drifted across the sea to more distant regions of a tropical climate apart from being spread by human beings.
Dessicated coconut are produced from the copra, the hard, white meat of the coconut rich in fiber.
Significance, effects:
As opposed to most other fruits, coconut mostly consists of fat and not carbohydrates. It mainly consists of saturated fatty acids, yet most of these are so-called medium-chain fatty acids, which are easily digested and provide a quick source of energy without exciting the gallbladder.
oconuts contain a high amount of fiber, facilitating digestion, along with significant level of magnesium. Additionally, they contain iron and calcium yet have no significant vitamin content.
Use:
Coconut flakes are mostly used in pastries, creams and ice cream, yet it can also be added to special sauces or salad dressings.
