The coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm, scientific name Cocos nucifera, a plant belonging to the Arecaceae family and native to Indonesia, but thanks to the ability of coconuts to float on seawater and maintain the ability to germinate after 110 days of immersion (a period in which they can travel up to 5000 kilometers) has spread naturally in many places around the globe. 
Coconuts or "drupes" usually grow in five or six bunches, each containing about a dozen fruits.
They are protected by a fibrous shell 5 to 15 cm thick under which we find very hard and thin brownish shells that must be broken to reach the flesh, which adheres to the inner walls. 
The flesh contained inside is fibrous, milky and rich in precious oil. In the still unripe fruit, the pulp is replaced by a sweet and refreshing opalescent white liquid known as "coconut water", a particularly thirst-quenching drink rich in mineral salts.
Coconut water can be considered as a real natural supplement. It contains mineral salts such as magnesium, potassium and calcium. The mineral salts act in synergy to keep the body hydrated during physical activity. It can therefore be considered as a natural alternative to sports drinks and energy drinks rich in colorants and preservatives. It is useful for those who practice sport because it prevents muscle cramps. It is considered as a real panacea if taken in the amount of 40-50 millilitres per day. In general, it helps to improve energy levels, stimulating the production of hormones by the thyroid gland and stimulating the metabolism. This drink made from coconut contains numerous bioactive enzymes that our body uses for the digestion of food. Drinking coconut water is a useful natural remedy for those who suffer from digestive problems and abdominal pain caused by poor digestion. Coconut water must be taken regularly to achieve the desired effects.
Coconut also produces milk, a vegetable drink that can be combined with rice milk or almond milk, and oil, which is used as a beauty product but also as an ingredient for cooking and seasoning.
