Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)                 

The Coconut tree is a large palm, growing up to 30 meters (98 ft.) tall, with pinnate leaves 4–6 meters (13–20 ft.) long and pinnae 60–90 cm. long; old leaves break away cleanly, leaving the trunk smooth. The coconut palm fruit is called a coconut. Within the hard outer wrapping is a nut like fruit and within this hard nut are milk, meat and oil. The fruit is edible and is used for food and medicine. The cavity is filled with coconut water, which is sterile until opened. It is clear, colorless and contains sugar, fiber, proteins, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and provides an isotonic electrolyte balance making it a nutritious food source. It is used as a refreshing drink and is used in isotonic sports drinks.
