World Coconut Day

World Coconut Day is a date dedicated to that, without which it is impossible to make a pina colada or Thai curry. Its juice is an excellent energy drink, and the smoke from the fibers repels mosquitoes. There are enough reasons to join the celebration of this funny day in September.

History

Coconut is recognized as one of the most versatile products. It is used for various purposes – in cooking, cosmetology, or to create jewelry. According to some reports, the oil can even slow down the development of caries. Simply rinse your mouth with it every day for 20 minutes. Coconuts are especially revered by the Asia-Pacific APCC, which supports all major producers. The tree was first discovered in India, and thanks to sailors, it ended up in East Africa, then in Southeast Asia and then spread throughout the world.
