The main product of coconut is coconut meat (called solid endosperm), which is rich in nutrition. The fat content of fresh coconut meat of mature coconut is about 33%, of which protein is about 4%. It can be eaten fresh or used in food industry, and directly processed into various delicious foods, such as coconut powder, coconut juice, edible desiccated coconut, etc.
In addition, it can also be used in fine chemicals, medicines and pesticide preparations. The content of protein, fat and carbohydrate in immature coconut is lower than that in mature coconut, so immature coconut is not suitable for processing coconut oil or other coconut products, but suitable for direct consumption.
In addition to drinking coconut water, this kind of tender coconut also takes out soft coconut meat in some places and eats it with white sugar and coconut water, which is extremely delicious. The coconut meat is soft, smooth and delicious.
