Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi Bee, I understand that we should not have the coconut milk because it has too much sugar, but what about the meat? I have been eating shredded coconut as a dessert? June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the cost of coconuts in the US, thi makes the cost very high sincer so many need to be discarded. And yes, I do select coconuts carefully.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi ! Greetings from the Philippines ! We have to understand that the very health and nutrition desirable medium chain saturated fatty acid, meaning the lauric acid dominant in the coconut nut is naturally synthesized (genetically controlled or DNA directed) in the coconut meat (kernel/endosperm). In the form of the coconut oil, the lauric acid is converted in the concentrated form (47 - 54% lauric acid). I for one obtain this extremely important C12 saturated fatty acid from the fresh nut, coconut milk and coconut oil mainly because we produce annually at least 12 billion nuts by over 250 million fruit-bearing coconut trees ( 50 - 200 nuts/tree per year, depending on the coconut variety and growing conditions) in the country. And fresh nuts are daily available almost everywhere year-round at afffordable cost. In countries of the temperate world, I feel the most practical source of the lauric acid in coconuts is from the coconut oil which can be transported in many ways.
