Sweet refreshing coconut

Ellen says:Young Green Coconuts have a clear juice that is sweet, refreshing, and aromatic. Young coconuts have a jelly-like meat which can be eaten or used in smoothies. As they mature the meat turns hard, the meat firms up and can be used to make shredded coconut or coconut milk. We use coconut milk for soups, curries, desserts, and drinks. Shredded coconut can be added to smoothies or used in meals or desserts. The coconut can also be used to make coconut oil (the oil content increases as it matures), soaps, candles, and skin care products.

Nutrition: Highly nutritious, high in electrolytes, high in minerals, vitamins and amino acids, yet low in fat and with no cholesterol, coconuts have gotten a bad rap but are refreshing, delicious, and nutritious! Coconut milk contains lauric acid. Young coconuts are more nutritious than older coconuts. They are good for our heart, liver and kidney. They are known for their medicinal qualities including their ability to relieve headaches, cure upset stomachs, stop diarrhea, reduce fevers, helping the fetus grown strong in a pregnant woman, and strengthening the heart.
