The Coconut Development Board from India has made many discoveries on the properties of coconut water, not to be confused with coconut milk. Coconut water is the liquid within the coconut when first opened. Coconut milk is the juice that is extracted from the coconut meat. The coconut is a member of the Arecaceae Family also known as the Palm Family.
The name coconut goes all the way back to the 16th century from Portuguese and Spanish which means "grinning face" because of the three holes located on the shell. Coconuts are found all over the tropics and it is a daily diet for those who live there. Its endosperm also know as edible "flesh" for its fresh stage or "copra" for its dried stage is a tasty treat for most, but coconut isn't just food, its used for many different things besides the fact that the oils and milk from a coconut is used for cooking and frying, coconut is also used for soaps and cosmetics. The coconut water has even been used to make alcohol and the husks and leaves are used for furnishing and decorating.
