Coconut its self is a fruit from a palm tree as you know. However, only the water of the coconut, not to be confused with coconut milk, is very beneficial in many health aspects and comes from the younger fruits that are only 7 to 8 months old. mature coconut comes from the ripened seed that is about 12 months old.

I also wanted to talk just a little about Coconut oil. Another amazing property of the coconut that is a bit more of the mature plant. the white fleshy pulp within the seed is pressed and conformed into oils that can be used in high heat cooking oil. the difference between this oil and corn or soy is that in high heat it is able to keep its molecular structure whereas common oils break down and actually start composing toxins that are harmful to us and may cause health issues over long term use. So let’s just look at some of the uses of this wonder oil.
