Organic Coconut Flakes -
50 lbs, (Mountain Rose Herbs)
The coconut provides an incredibly nutritious source of meat, juice, milk, and oil that has fed and nourished people around the world for countless generations. Modern medical science is now supporting the use of coconut products to treat many of the undesirable health conditions prevalent in our modern world. Published studies in medical journals abound demonstrating that coconut, in one form or another, provides a wide range of health benefits when incorporated into ones regular diet. The scientific name for coconut is Cocos nucifera. Early Spanish explorers called it coco, which means "monkey face" because the three indentations on the hairy nut resemble the head and face of a monkey. Nucifera means "nut-bearing." The coconut provides a highly nutritious source of meat, juice, milk, and oil that has fed and nourished people around the world for countless generations. On many tropical islands coconut is regarded as a staple in the diet and provides the majority of the caloric intake. Close to one third of the world's population depends on coconut for its dietary and economic value. Coconut has had a long and respected history among these island cultures. Like most nut meats, coconut meat contains less sugar and more protein than popular fruits such as bananas, apples and oranges. It is also relatively high in fiber as well as vitamins and minerals such as iron, phosphorus and zinc. Coconut is classified as a "functional food" because it provides many health benefits over and beyond its already impressive nutritional content. Coconut contains high levels of lauric acid which is converted by the body into monolaurin. Monolaurin is responsible for solubilizing the lipid envelope of virus's, causing the disintegration of the virus envelope and subsequent death of the virus. In traditional medicine around the world coconut is used to treat a wide variety of health problems including the following: abscesses, asthma, baldness, bronchitis, bruises, burns, colds, constipation, cough, dropsy, dysentery, earache, fever, flu, gingivitis, gonorrhea, irregular or painful menstruation, jaundice, kidney stones, lice, malnutrition, nausea, rash, scabies, scurvy, skin infections, sore throat, swelling, syphilis, toothache, tuberculosis, abnormal cell growths, typhoid, ulcers, upset stomach, weakness, and wounds.
SUGGESTED USAGE Organic Shredded Coconut can be added to drinks, teas, and super-food smoothies, and it is also used in baking and deserts. It can also be used in body care creations such as hard soaps and bath bombs for its mildly exfoliating and soothing properties and for its wonderful rich scent.
