The history of coconut and what benefits it brings!
History of the coconut
Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm, which can live up to 100 years and produce more than four hundred nuts a year. The fruit sometimes reaches 2.5 kilograms in weight, and is covered with a hard shell. Inside is a white pulp "copra" and coconut water.
The name of the nut is translated from Portuguese as "monkey". The mature peeled fruit is brown in color with three dents that resemble the face of a monkey. Some coconut gatherers train tame monkeys to climb palm trees and drop the fruit down.
Coconut palms are mentioned as early as the 4th century BC. For the first time, this plant was specially cultivated in Malaysia. Residents of the Pacific coast highly appreciate palm trees, wood is used for construction and heating, and fruits are constantly present in the diet. In honor of the newborn, many plant a new palm tree.
Coconut trees grow on sandy coasts. The fruit often falls into the water and thus spreads to other islands. The skin of the nut is very strong and is not damaged by sea water. Now the coconuts are grown in all tropical countries.
The benefits of coconut
Coconut is known primarily for its high content of various fatty acids. Coconut pulp is rich in oils, and the liquid inside the fruit contains a lot of antioxidants and minerals. It is thanks to them that coconut water quenches thirst so well.
Coconut pulp is very nutritious, restores strength and eliminates muscle fatigue. Pantenic and folic acids and B vitamins are important in metabolic processes and for the functioning of the immune and nervous systems.
A lot of coconut potassium, magnesium and iodine. They support the heart and blood vessels, and iodine is necessary for the endocrine glands.
Coconut pulp contains a lot of fiber and fatty acids, which are useful for the intestinal flora. A small amount of this product relieves inflammation in stomach ulcers and intestinal colitis.
Vitamin E is considered a "beauty vitamin" and is good for the skin. Coconut oil nourishes and refreshes the skin, slowing down the aging process, fights small inflammations. Lauric acid suppresses pathogenic microorganisms. Coconut oil also improves the condition of hair and nails.
Coconut: BZHU Energy value of one hundred grams, grams/percentage of daily needs, percentages: protein, 3.3/3.5; fat, 33.5/48.6; carbohydrates, 6.2/4.3; dietary fiber, 9.0/45.0; water, 47.0/1.7.
The product is characterized by a high content of easily digested vegetable fat in the form of saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated fatty acids, hence the rapid saturation of the body.
Fiber has a cleansing effect: it removes toxins and toxins from the intestines, thereby improving metabolism, speeding up the process of digestion of food
