By enjoying the delicious superfood, known as coconut (Cocos nucifera), you can stay satisfied and healthy. It provides nutrients that are good for your general health, such as protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. The mineral and fibre content in coconut sugar is really high. It is rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron and plant-based protein. It also contains vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6.

The proverb ‘Whoever plants a coconut tree plants food and drink, and creates a home and a legacy for their descendants’ is said to originate from a Pacific island in the south-west, from where the coconut is believed to have originated.

In the Philippines, the coconut is known as the ‘tree of life’; in Mesopotamia, the ‘tree of a thousand uses’; and in India, the ‘tree that gives us everything we need for life’.

You can replace plain flour with coconut flour, which is a gluten-free alternative, made from dried and ground coconut flesh. Coconut flour is usually made from the coconut flesh left over after making coconut milk.
