The trunk of the water coconut tree grows horizontally within the soil, with only its leaves and flower stalks protruding above. The blossoms of the water coconut bloom abundantly in clusters, emitting a pleasant fragrance. At the top of the flower cluster, spherical in shape, the male flowers are red or yellow in the form of squirrel-tail-like appendages on subsequent branches. When the flowers are pollinated, the small fruits press against each other and rapidly grow, resembling a spherical ball with a diameter ranging from 20 to 25 cm, reaching a maximum of 30 cm, known as the "water coconut bundle.
The primary components of the water coconut flower include: Cellulose (28.9 - 45.6% w/w), hemicellulose (21.8 - 26.4% w/w), lignin (19.4 - 33.8% w/w), starch, protein, minerals (Na, K, Cl, Mg, Ca, Si, P, S, Al), phenolic acid, flavonoids, and sucrose.
Different parts of the water coconut flower such as the stalk, fruit, and sap are commonly utilized in traditional medicine. The unopened flower stalk of the water coconut (water coconut bundle) can be tapped for sweet nectar production, used in making water coconut flower syrup for alcohol production, vinegar fermentation, preserves, confectionery, or beverages.
