The beneficial properties of coconut are widely known. Thanks to coconut milk and oil, it has received the title of "the most healing fruit in the world", and the coconut palm - "the tree of life". And this is well deserved.
The juice of young coconuts is called living water because it has the same electrolyte balance as our blood. It is simply a storehouse of useful substances necessary for our body.
100 g of fresh coconut contains 177 calories, 1.7 g of protein, 16.8 g of fat, 178 mg of potassium, 57 mg of phosphorus, 16 mg of magnesium.
The claim that coconuts are hard to digest, raise blood cholesterol levels and are even toxic is not entirely accurate: this only applies to overripe fruits.
Three types of coconut
Young. The most healing. Consists of 90-95% water, which is considered the purest liquid. It opens channels in the body, improves digestion and restores the body as a whole.
Medium-ripe. Contains more vitamins and minerals than young ones.
Overripe. Has a hard rind (such fruits are sold in stores). It has a lot of pulp and very little liquid. The Indians knew that these properties can be neutralized with spices and combination with certain products.
