Have You Tried to Consume Any Forms of Coconut Products?

Coconut (Cocos nucifera) with shell sold in groceries

Coconut trees grow in most tropical countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Philippine and Indonesia.

Brazil is the largest coconut producer from Latin America. Most coconuts in the USA are coming from these countries or regions or territories:

- Cuba

- Latin America (central America countries)

- Pacific islands

- Puerto Rico

However, coconuts are growing well in two states: Hawaii and Florida. Hence, it is easy to find coconut and some of its products in the USA, include in our state, Louisiana.

I saw the biggest retail in America, Walmart has sold coconuts for sometimes, but I always buy them in ethnic groceries such as Mexican and Asian markets.

Coconut without shells

There are many products made of coconuts, include:

- oil

- milk

- milk beverages

- water (juicy)

- flakes

- flour

- butter

- sugar

Other well known coconut related products are charcoal, vinegar, copra, candy and cakes.

I myself love to consume water (juice) and meat of young coconuts, suitable during hot summer season. Cans of juice mixed with young meats of coconut are also available in the groceries.

I often use coconut oil and milk for cooking, especially for traditional foods. Smell good and tasty.
