The Many Uses of a Coconut

Last week in my fruit and veggie co-op I ordered us a special treat, the tropical pack. It came with key limes, delicious mangoes, 2 vanilla beans, a sugar stick (piece of sugar cane ready for sucking), a coconut and more. I was so thrilled. I was so excited. I thought the vanilla beans were the crowning jewels in this box, but they still lay in waiting. What I have found the most interesting is the coconut. I often use coconut oil in baking, frying, sauteing, and for skincare. I also use coconut milk and shredded coconut in baking. I have even bought coconut water from the health food store as a refreshing cold drink. But I had no idea that all of those things can come from one coconut and there's even more you can do with it. I found this great website called Whole Lifestyle Nutrition that took me step by step by step by step through the coconut journey. I highly encourage you to buy one coconut and then go to the site and play around awhile. I have had so much fun!
