The origin and development of the Golden Coconut Emperor
The Golden Coconut Emperor is native to Madagascar. It is a shorter feather-leaf palm tree that blooms and bears fruit in May every year. The fruit changes from green to green. The golden color eventually matures to black, and the pulp is eaten by birds and lemurs in the jungle. Local people will collect the cores and smash them open to take out the nuts (i.e. golden coconut king) and eat them directly, named ankaizin de coc. Sometimes the excess golden coconut king will be salted and preserved with sugar and used as an auxiliary ingredient in daily cooking.
In the 19th century, French explorers brought ankaizin de coco back to France from Madagascar, and the subsequent scientific name followed this name and was named "Dypsis ankaizinensis" (Chinese translation: Ankaizin de coco). After the Golden Coconut Emperor was introduced to France, French chefs crushed it and roasted it briefly, then sprinkled it on top of high-end French food as a garnish. The coconut fragrance immediately overflowed and amazed the royal nobles, comparable to white truffles. Afterwards, the Golden Coconut King spread to various European countries, and many delicacies were developed in various places: the juice was squeezed to prepare cocktails, exquisite pastries were made, and the oil was squeezed for use in high-end dishes.
