Fiji Coconuts

The term coconut refers to the seed of the coconut palm.
The coconut palm is grown throughout the tropical world, for decoration as well as for its many culinary and non-culinary uses; virtually every part of the coconut palm has human uses.

Young Coconuts

Coconut water is the clear liquid inside young green coconuts, not to be confused with coconut milk. As the fruit matures, the coconut water gradually is replaced by the coconut meat and air. A very young coconut has very little meat, and the meat is very tender, almost a gel.

Coconut water has long been a popular drink in the tropics, especially in Tropical Asia, Fiji, Trinidad and Tobago, where it is available fresh or bottled. It is naturally fat-free and high in nutrients.

Virgin Coconut Oil

Virgin Coconut Oil is oil extracted from fresh coconut (not copra) meat by mechanical or natural means. It can be obtained with or without using heat. To protect the oil’s essential properties, the production of virgin coconut oil does not undergo chemical refining, bleaching, or deodorizing. Said to be high in vitamins and minerals, it is fit for consumption without the need for further processing.

Virgin coconut oil is one of the few herbal supplements that you can enjoy both ways; internally and externally. Taking the recommended dosage of three tablespoons a day of virgin coconut oil is beneficial but simply applying it on skin can also help you in a variety ways.
