There are many uses for coconut. in fact the coconut tree is called the tree of life here in the country.
The meat is eaten, the juice is a good thirst quencher and all parts of the tree from the leaves, to the trunk, down to the roots are used.

@AKRao24 coconut doesn't grow here. But sellers get it from South India. It is a bit costly here.

@AKRao24 Indeed. That is why it is called the "Tree of Life". Youre always welcome, my friend.

I like to use coconut for cooking and baking. I have also used it as a body scrub mixed with oatmeal and it's a great moisturizer as well. I like to mix it with my smoothies too. A little milk, a tbs of coconut, a banana and some strawberries.

I use coconut milk in place of regular milk because I am allergic to regular milk. I used coconut oil in pancake mix once and they turned out really moist and good!

@AKRao24 Ehh, nothing really tastes as good without regular milk, but when I eat cereal I got used to the taste of coconut milk.
It’s been about 4 years for me.

I love coconut water from tender coconut. We use coconut for chutney and laddoos. We also use shredded ones to garnish kheer, upma and other dishes.
Coconut oil is best for hair massage.
