Coconut is a delicious and very nutritious fruit. Its hard meat contains calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin E, vitamin C, folic acid and fiber, as well as fat when the meat is fatty.
Coconut milk, rich in vitamin B, is an excellent way to restore the electrolytes that our bodies lose through excessive sweating. The fruit itself has a high caloric content: 100 grams of fruit provides approximately 351 kilocalories. Coconut also has a gentle laxative and diuretic effect and contributes to healthy digestion, kidneys and urinary system.
In Cuba, especially in the eastern region, coconut and its by-products, such as oil and milk, are used frequently in popular dishes that have become famous for their exquisite flavor.
