I don't even want to begin to tell you the amount of things that can be
done with a coconut tree, or it's parts! But here is a short listing to
appease the people that took the time to come to this web page! The coconut tree
(Cocos nucifera) is a type of palm tree and produces edible fruit. The
fruits called nuts, have a white meat in the mature nut
called copra. Copra is
what is used to make coconut oil. The husk can be used for a mosquito repellent,
and to make rope. The coconut shell can be used for utensils, bowls, bras ;),
cups, and many other neat implements. That is just the fruit. Then we go onto
the branch. The branch, is made up of a great rib which can be used for fire
tongs, and other things. Individual leaflets can be made into toys, the midribs
that are between each leaflet, can be collected in a quantity and put in a bundle
and used as a broom. A section of the frond can be used to make a split rib
carrier, and fans. A section of the side of the frond can be made into MANY
different types of baskets, hats, mats, thatching, and other things
just to name a few. Anyways there are two types of coconut trees. Three year
coconut trees, are trees that bear fruit in approximately three years. Then
there is the six year coconut tree, which
produces fruit in about six years. You can easily distinguish between the two,
as the three year coconut tree does not have a bulb at the base of the trunk,
which is characteristic of the six year coconut tree. The three year coconut
trees leaves are more uniform in shape, being as slender at the base of the
leaf, up to about four to five inches from the tapering tip. The six year
coconut tree however has a more larger leaf at the bottom, and tapers slightly
through the leaf up until the tip. Now on the the different varieties in the six
year, and three year trees. There are two colors of coconuts. There is the green
variety and then there is the red/orange type. Now on Guam there are about seven
different types of coconut trees. I don't have the listing right now, but I will
research it, and anyone that is interested (who would be ? :) ) just email me
and i'll get the info too you as soon as I get it.
Coconut (Maprao):
The
coconut palm tree is one of the most useful of all trees in the tropics, providing
not only food but raw materials for making all sorts of useful furnishings,
household supplies and even recreational equipment. The fruit or nut is eaten at
different stages of development; for the recipes in this book we are primarily
interested in the flesh of the mature coconut, which is shredded and roasted to
add a rich, nutty flavor to certain dishes and pressed to make coconut milk and
cream for curries and soups.

For the handful of coconut recipes that call for roasted shredded coconut, it is not
essential to go through the laborious process of removing the flesh from a fresh
whole coconut. Simply use the dried, unsweetened shredded coconut sold in
well-stocked Florida markets, natural food stores or gourmet supermarkets. Make
sure it has not been sweetened. Store extras in an airtight jar or plastic bag
in a cool place in the pantry.
To roast, spread the shredded coconut in a dry pan over moderate heat. Stir
frequently until the coconut turns a rich and even golden brown color and very
fragrant. Remove from pan and set aside to cool before using. Roasted coconut
shreds keep for a couple of months in a sealed jar in the pantry.
Also of interest is a discussion
on coconut cream and milk. Aside from the food value of the fruit, the
coconut palm tree yields a sweet sap for making sugar (see palm sugar)
and tender, edible shoots (unopened new leaves atop the palm, called "palm
heart") which make a delectable crisp vegetable.
The best place to find fresh coconuts is South Florida. . . Unbelievably
Fresh.

Coconut oil is also available in Indian markets. I found a brand made
in Fiji with no indication that it was organic (although there should be
no reason to spray coconut trees) or how it was processed. This product
had a much stronger coconut flavor -- almost
soapy -- that it imparted to the food.
Fresh Coconut - A Natural Food-and-Refreshment Package
In the west, most people know coconuts primarily in the sweetened,
shredded form they've had in such desserts as coconut cake or coconut
macaroons, or as sweetened milk for making pina coladas. Neither is a fair
representation of what fresh coconuts really are like and the many different
ways they can be used in cooking. Whenever I've had new cooking students who
insist that they do not like coconuts, they always seem surprised by how
delicious Thai curries, coconut soups and desserts tasted. Almost
invariably, their prior gastronomical experiences with coconuts have been
limited to the highly processed and sweetened products.
In
tropical
Asia, coconuts are eaten in different stages of ripeness. When they are
young and green, the clear juice inside some varieties is sweet and
refreshing, sometimes naturally fragrant with a subtle hint of flowers. Not
only is it a good thirst quencher, the juice is also good for reducing heat
in the body. On hot days in the tropics when you feel sluggish and
overheated, drink lots of young coconut juice. It will revive you and
replenish your energies. In folk medicine, the fresh juice of young coconuts
is also recommended for reducing fevers and relieving headaches, stomach
upsets, diarrhea and dysentery, for strengthening the heart and for
restoring energy to weakened bodies recovering from illness. It is believed
that expectant mothers who regularly drink young coconut juice will help the
fetus grow stronger and with greater vitality.
Not all young coconuts have juice that is sweet and fragrant. In some
varieties the juice can be rather bland, sour and uninteresting. The mature
fruits of these varieties are more delectable; as they ripen, the meat
inside becomes thicker and richer, firmer and more pulpy. Its oil content
increases, and it becomes a closer approximation of a nut. Most coconuts are
grown for their mature fruits, which yield shredded coconut meat for making
desserts and snacks; coconut milk for curries, soups and desserts; and
coconut oil for cooking and for making soaps, candles, protective skin
lotions and cosmetics. Copra, the dried meat of matured coconuts, is one of
Thailand's major exports, providing an important source of food and raw
material to other parts of Asia and the world.
Unlike nuts such as almonds and walnuts, coconuts are more delicate than
most people realize and do not have a long shelf life, especially after the
outer husks have been removed. The fibrous husks are nature's protective
cushion and are integral parts of coconuts, but because of their bulkiness,
they usually have been pulled off and discarded. If stores do carry coconuts
with husks still on, they may have trouble selling them. The dried, brown
husks of matured coconuts aren't particularly attractive, and how would
consumers here figure out how to get inside of one? It seems difficult
enough to deal with the hard shell.
Without the outer husks, the shells bang against each other in transport
and often crack or develop leaks. The eyes on one end are also exposed and
subject to puncture and air seepage or mold growing inward. Air and mold
entering the coconut will make the rich meat spoil quickly. That's why when
purchasing a coconut at the store, be careful to choose one that is still
heavy with juice. Shake it and if it seems dry, chances are there is a crack
or leak in the shell; or it may have sat on the shelf too long, the juice
having all but evaporated through the eyes. Check the eyes, they shouldn't
look dark or moldy. Though often sealed with wax to prevent leakage, this
does not guarantee that leakage has not occurred.
When looking for a coconut to buy, search first for a batch whose overall
appearance suggests freshness. If there are several that are moldy and
cracked, try another store. From a fresh-looking batch, choose the
best-looking one, and if you wish to be doubly sure, take home an extra as
back-up. If the market carries more than one kind of coconuts, select from
those with rich brown shells if you wish to press fresh milk. Inside, the
thick flesh should be a pure white color; if it has started to yellow, it
most probably is rancid. Besides the thickness of the flesh, you can usually
tell whether a coconut is old enough to yield creamy milk by looking at a
cross-section of the shell. A well-matured one would have developed a very
hard, chocolate-brown inner shell; this is the shell that can be carved to
make implements and decorative items.
Coconuts with lighter brown shells generally are not as fully matured;
the meat is delicious as a snack in itself, or shredded to make fillings and
toppings for snack foods, appetizers and desserts. Milk pressed from these
coconuts may be less creamy than good brands of canned coconut milk but its
flavor can be fresher and tastier if you happened to have chosen coconuts
from a shipment just off the boat from Asia. And although this milk is not
quite creamy enough for curries and certain kinds of desserts, it adds a
fragrant nuttiness to coconut soups that makes them heavenly!
