Coconut for over a thousand years ago has been a source of food,milk,and oil. in africa specially, coconut tree is a difficult one to grow and it do take massive years for it to mature but nevertheless its usefulness can not be over valued.
Coconut is Mostly consumed as food and there's no doubt about its incredible benefits to the health.
While I'm only used to eating the coconuts fruits i was surprised to see sellers selling the coconut water in large.
How water got in there still remain mystery, there has been so many assumptions as to whether its safe to drink coconut water or not, i remember when i was young, coconut water is one i do look out for before some beliefs and made us believe its not kindda safe.
While i was curious to know what other benefits one could gain drinking coconut apart from its sweetness, i was able to ask further a dietitian who said coconut could have an antioxidant properties while it has properties of fighting diabetes and regulate blood pressure, well, i jumped into buying a bottle and its relatively cheap and affordable.
This is a market in north central of the country where majorly fruits and veggies are sold.
One of the things i noticed been sold along the coconut is the dates fruit, though this has been one of my combinations, i called it snacks very yummy and crispy.
I think fast enough things begin to evolve, more researches more discoveries ensues almost everyday, and thats why its good to along with the trend. Gone are the days when things got wasted.
Coconut for example has every component that are quite useful.
While it might not be convenient for some to buy the whole coconut, the sellers decided to cut in pieces and sell at cheaper prices.
Apart from being sold at market, coconut can also be seen by the roadside or street or being hawked.
Coconut water is VERY popular where I live. But since we live so far away from where coconut trees grow, everything is pre-packaged. You almost never see a whole coconut; maybe at the health food store you can find one wrapped in plastic (which always confuses me ...it already has a protective cover), but generally people are buying coconut water or coconut milk in bottles, and the flesh of the fruit in cans or something like that. I like using a little coconut flour in the crust when I make savory pies like chicken, because it gives it a good flavor! :)
