Coconuts are a rich source of nutrients that have a myriad of applications. There are just as many ways they can be prepared. The nomenclature coconut is confusing because it is not a nut at all, but instead a drupe or fruit that has three layers: an outer layer that is smooth and green, a fleshy middle layer that is fibrous and a hard, and a woody layer that surrounds the seed. This third layer is what we find at the market. The origin of the coconut is somewhat mysterious. One theory is that it was first found growing in India.

It’s summertime and everyone is fighting an internal battle. As we add yet another bottle of SPF 50 sunscreen to our shopping lists, we’re secretly longing for our skin to have that perfect, sun-kissed glow. So, what do we do? Load up on sunscreen, while wearing our sunhats, out of fear of the almighty sun, or frolic happily and care-free in the sunshine without protection? Unfortunately, the answer isn’t all that easy.
