I grew up in a coastal area of Venezuela, and was very common to go to the beach and enjoy the rich coconut water. The coconut plant, grows in tropical beaches of the Pacific, Indian Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It can also be grown in hotspots, which is a great relief to people living in these areas, since it is an important source of water and food is. It is very common to see people as monkeys up huge Palm trees to be able to seize the coconuts. The coconut is a fruit with many benefits. You can take your water and you can eat its flesh, both tender and ripe. It can be used both for desserts and savory dishes. His palms are used woven to make baskets, roofs of coastal shops and beach decorations. Also has medicinal properties such as:

  • Your water restores the electrolytes in the body, which are lost through excessive sweating. Due to its diuretic power clean kidneys.
    Tender coconut water acts as a natural serum and helps the production of amniotic fluid in pregnant women. It provides nutrients to the fetus and the mother. Calm the vomiting and heartburn.
  • Eat the Green coconut pulp provides calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, zinc, protein, fiber and fat (produces HDL, the so-called good cholesterol).
  • Its oil serves as a beauty treatment for the hair. Also used to treat dryness of the skin, making sunscreen lotions and creams that protect the skin.
    In Venezuela, my country of origin, the coconut is used in the traditional pastry to prepare drinks, sauces, custards, candies, cookies and biscuits.
    I invite you to review my blog and there you will find some delicious cookies I prepare with coconut (coconut kisses). I promise that I will upload new recipes with this delicious fruit.
    Greetings and blessings.
