COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil is an edible oil derived from the fruits of coconut trees. These trees are abundant in tropical areas, especially in Asia. Here, the main use of this oil is cooking. Most of the dishes in Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Kerala use coconut oil for frying and sautéing. A slight nuttiness and sweetness make it a good baking ingredient in western countries. Some film theatres use it for popcorn preparation. In India, apart from food, it is the main part of daily hair care.

HOW ARE COCONUTS GROWN?

Coconut trees are domesticated by Austronesian people first. It was then spread throughout the world. Yet, there is a difference between the coconut on the beaches and the ones which are domesticated. Coconut trees can produce up to 70 fruits per year, yet most of them produce below 30. It is due to various reasons, mainly pests.
