The term coconut refers to the fruit of the coconut palm, which consists of a fibrous husk (mesocarp) encasing a large seed or inner stone. The term coconut also is used to refer to the entire large seed with its covering of hard, green, fibrous endocarp, or to the edible, commercially important, white and fleshy part of the seed (the coconut “meat” or endosperm), which in turn surrounds the hollow, fluid-filled, central cavity. The hollow center is generously filled with a clouded yet translucent, flavored liquid (liquid endosperm) slightly thicker in consistency than water.

While the origins of the coconut are subject to controversy, including areas of south Asia, northwestern South America, New Zealand and India, it has spread generously across the tropics, thriving on sandy soils.

The coconut palm today is grown throughout the tropical world, for decoration as well as for its many culinary and non-culinary uses. Virtually every part of the coconut palm has some human use. For example, the white, fleshy part of the seed provides food; the coconut water provides a nutritious drink; the fiber left over from coconut milk production is used as livestock feed; the apical buds are edible (“heart-of-palm”); and the nectar is used to make a drink. Furthermore, the fiber from the husks is used to make ropes, brushes, and other items; the leaves are used for baskets and roofing thatch; the palmwood is used for furniture and construction; the trunk is used to make drums, containers and small canoes; and the roots provide a dye and medicine; among many other uses.Coconuts are extensively used in Hindu  religious rites. Coconuts are usually offered to the gods, and a coconut is smashed on the ground or on some object as part of an initiation or inauguration of building projects, facility, ship, and so forth. This act signifies a sacrifice of ego, the idea that wealth stems from divinity, and the idea that, if due credit is not given, bad karma is taken on. In Hindu mythology it is referred as Kalpavruksha. In Hindu mythologies, it is said that Kalapavruksha gives what is asked for.

Why eating in coconut shell is beneficial:

1.Health benefits of coconut shell: We all know the benefits of eating in banana leaves, but do you know that cooking and eating in coconut shells is equally healthy and beneficial for your body? Well, yes, you read it right! India is one of the largest producers of coconuts and we often use coconut in cooking and even as a dry fruit in households. If you have been throwing away the shell till date, this piece of information will surely make you store them next time and add them to your new range of environment-friendly cutlery. Scroll below to the benefits of cooking and eating in coconut shells.

2.Controls overeating: When it comes to overeating, portion control is the smart way to control your eating habit. In this process, using coconut shells is a smart practice, as the shells are small in size, so you end up eating less. While experts agree that refilling is an option, but, it has been found that people often avoid refilling and that helps in losing those extra kilos.

3.Add aroma to food: If earthy flavours tempt you, then cooking and eating in coconut shell is a good idea. When you cook rice or curry in a coconut shell, it transfers the subtle aroma to your food and it helps in elevating the eating experience.

4.It reduces cholesterol level: When you cook in a coconut shell, the natural fibre content present in the shell automatically gets infused in your food and helps in weight loss and also helps in reducing cholesterol level. While experts agree that it might not be as significant as adding coconut to your diet, it may improve your heart’s health slowly.

5.Good for stomach: According to health experts, coconut shells are packed with nutrients and minerals that are beneficial for your stomach. It is suggested that when suffering from digestion issues like constipation, try using coconut shell as natural cutlery and the fibre and vitamins A, D, E, and K content will slowly improve your bowel movements.

6.Environment Friendly: We all know how our planet is in bad shape thanks to excessive usage of plastic. While people are making efforts in switching to eco-friendly carry bags and cutlery, coconut shells can be another smart option that is good for the environment and the human body too.
