Coconut

The Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm, though a nut and not a fruit. 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 some human use. Although coconut meat contains less fat than other dry fruits, it is noted for its high amount of saturated fat. The saturated fat in coconuts is however healthier than the saturated fat found in other foods. Coconut meat contains relatively high amounts of minerals such as iron, Phosporus and Zinc.The Exofi coconuts are imported directly from the Dominican Republic.
