Coconut is a fruit with high nutritional value in human health care and has a wide range of applications in the food and beverage industry. Nowadays, researchers have studied and produced it in the form of flour, which is much more convenient. Let’s take a look at the benefits and applications of coconut powder with PEROMA!
INTRODUCTION TO COCONUT
The scientific name of coconut is Cocos nucifera L., belonging to the Arecaceae palm family. It is a single-stemmed tree that can grow up to 30m tall with a straight trunk. Its leaves are large, single, pinnate, and concentrated at the top of the trunk. The foliage is dense, and the leaf stalks and main veins are 4-6m long. The leaflets are often twisted into a net-like structure around the trunk. The flower clusters are located on leaf axils, with male flowers above and female flowers below on the same inflorescence.
The fruit is a drupe with a shiny green outer shell, clearly displaying three ridges. The middle layer of the fruit shell consists of fibrous strands. Inside is the inner fruit shell, also known as coconut husk or coconut shell. The inner fruit shell becomes woody and has three germinal pores, often referred to as “eyes.” Inside is the edible flesh layer, called coconut meat, which is white and the edible part of the seed.
Coconut trees are closely associated with Vietnamese villages. They not only provide shade along village roads but also bring many economic, material, and health benefits to the people. Especially the fruit part, with its rich nutritional content, has many surprising effects.
