Coconuts are one of the most useful fruits there are. The word coconut comes from the Spanish or Portuguese word coco which means grinning face. There are 3 holes on the coconut which make it look like a strange, funny face. The botanical name is cocos nucifera which means bearing nuts.
The flesh is used in meat dishes like curries, all kinds of cakes and the grated flesh and juice is also used in drinks. Coconuts are very important in the cooking of Indonesian food. In older coconuts, the flesh is used to extract coconut oil and also to make coconut cream. The husk is really useful too. It is used for gardening to keep water in the soil and as fuel for cooking.
How about the fiber, the stringy part underneath the husk? It’s really useful too, right? It’s used as stuffing in mattresses and cushions. And also, the shell is used to make cups and bowls, so there’s another use, for utensils. What an amazing fruit!
The tree trunks are also used to build houses. It is really strong wood. So that’s one more use, for building. Be careful when you are sitting under a coconut tree. Many people are killed each year by falling coconuts! They can be dangerous.
