I've alway love Palm trees and boy, oh boy did I see so many palm trees with coconuts on my travels this last winter.
You see coconuts are basically an entirely self-contained bread-baking unit. Use coconut water, oil, milk and flour, and some charcial from the husk; find yourself an egg (optionally) and make an entirely self-baking coconut-based meal. "If MacGyver were a plant, he’d be a coconut."
The coconut is a super food with properties that may assist treatment of Alzheimer’s, helpful in maintaining healthy blood sugars levels, coconut milk seems to have a positive effect on blood lipid profiles, raising HDL and lower LDL, it is known for antistress and antioxidant effects in mice anyway, is an assist in weight loss, it has antibacterial properties as well and I can't sing enough praise for all the uses and benifits with oils & cooking!
It's my hero! Now if only I could have a tree here.
It will be on my shopping list...
