Coconut

Coconut...

Coconut is not the most common product on our store or supermarket shelves. And this is actually strange, since there are usually no difficulties with transporting coconut. Most likely, the reason is that there are not so many coconut fans among the population of our country, it is simply not common here. Perhaps it also affects the fact that when a person hears about a nut, he imagines a more or less standard picture: a nut - a seed, located inside the shell, breaking which we can get it and eat it. Coconut does not fit this description at all.

Coconut does not look like a regular nut, inside the fruit there is flesh and liquid, which we call coconut water. You can eat both, both products are pleasant and unusual in taste. The history of the coconut name is also quite unusual, the word "coconut" comes from the Portuguese word "soso, " which means "monkey. " The nut was called just that, because there are small spots on its fruits that make it resemble the face of a monkey. It is possible that coconut is not the most popular product also due to the fact that it is hard enough to break its shell, while various tools must be used.
