What are the characteristics of coconut?

The product of the Genuine Coconut brand is a unique fruit, which comes from the coconut palms of far Thailand. On the outside, the coconut is surrounded by a hard shell, under which there is a juicy layer of flesh. Inside, on the other hand, it is filled with coconut water, which is an all-natural isotonic drink. Thanks to the revolutionary facilitation of Genuine Coconut products, you will also get into the valuable interior of the coconut in a very easy way.

What health and nutritional values does the coconut have?

The flesh of the coconut is rich in saturated fatty acids, so its metabolism process is fast. In addition, in the flesh you can find many minerals and valuable vitamins necessary for the proper functioning of the body. These include, first of all:

• Potassium, which is a key element for the proper conduction of nerve impulses, so it is primarily responsible for the proper work of the nervous system, headed by the brain. Thanks to it, it will be easier for you to maintain concentration during the day and regenerate faster at night.
• Magnesium, which performs a myriad of important functions in the human body, which include the proper work of the cardiovascular system, by reducing the risk of hypertension, as well as arrhythmia or myocardial infarction, which is a key element for seniors, and is responsible for the proper building of bones, which is certainly very important for moms.
• Phosphorus being an essential element for the proper functioning of all cells, as it is involved in energy production and maintains the acid-base balance.
• Folic acid, which belongs to the B vitamins, supports the formation of new cells and red blood cells, which are essential for carrying oxygen within the human body. It is an especially important element for women before and during pregnancy.
• Vitamin C, which is one of the most important and basic vitamins needed by humans. It affects the speed of wound healing, protects against free radicals and slows down the aging process.
• Vitamin E affects nutrition, hydration and faster regeneration of cells, thus slowing down the aging process.
• Vitamin K, without which the process of blood clotting or maintaining normal calcium balance in the body would be almost impossible.

Coconut does not contain gluten, which also makes it suitable for people with celiac disease.

How to open a coconut?

The problem you usually face when trying to get inside the fruit is splitting the hard shell. However, we have a simple solution to this problem for you. To drink coconut water without spilling it, among the three dark depressions on its shell, find the one marked with an arrow. All you have to do is poke the bamboo stick that comes with our product into it and make a hole in it, then insert a biodegradable, cornstarch straw into it.

After drinking the water, you can split the coconut in half by hitting it against some hard surface, such as a kitchen board, along the hollow on the shell. You can easily extract the flesh with the help of a kitchen knife. It doesn't get any easier than that!

What are the uses of fresh coconut?

First of all, it makes a great snack during the day, as it satisfies both hunger and thirst. The biodegradable straw included with the coconut makes it easy to drink the coconut water without spilling it or having to pour it into a glass. After drinking the water, you can scoop out the flesh and eat it right away or make coconut milk or oil from it. So it's a great product, both for the busy and those who like kitchen experiments.

Coconut milk has a wide range of uses in the kitchen, both for more savory and sweet dishes, as you can add it to soups and sauces or create delicious vegan desserts based on it. Such milk is also a great alternative for vegans who love white coffee. Coconut oil has an even broader spectrum of uses, because in addition to the kitchen, you can use it.... in the bathroom! This is because it is great, as an additive or base for homemade cosmetics.

Interestingly...

Coconut can also have a revolutionary application on a global scale, because in addition to its health benefits and taste, it can be used as biodiesel, which is an ecological and clean car fuel. Substances that can be found in fresh coconut can be used as the main ingredient of the fuel mixture or its additive.
