Why coconut is called the tree of life ?
When we think about coconut products, some of the first things coming up are coconut water, coconut oil and coconut milk. Each of them is wonderful in their own way and packed with health benefits.
But did you know that every single part of the coconut can be used for something?
From coconut flower, coir, husk, shell, meat to water: coconuts provide us with so much goodness.
Let’s take a look at the many amazing uses of the coconut palm and why it’s known as the tree of life.
The coconut tree
The coconut palm can reach heights of 30 meters / 98 feet. Coconuts are about 30-40 cm / 12-18 inches in length.
It takes about 6-10 years for the coconut palm to grow its first coconuts. The growth process from flower to mature coconut takes about 1 year.
It can take anywhere between 15-20 years for the palm tree to reach its peak stage of production and under optimal conditions it can produce up to 100 fruits per year.
Coconuts are in season all year long.
