Most people like coconuts. An ever-versatile fruit, they come in handy when it comes to whipping up tasty dishes or putting together skincare and haircare DIYs. But did you know, coconuts are a no-waste fruit, which means there’s no part of it that can end up unused and can serve you in a lot more ways?
Digital creator Dr Shilpa Arora took to Instagram to share, “From its versatile use to the powerful lauric acid in its kernel that boosts brain activity, coconut is a true blessing. Whether it’s the oil for healthy hair or coconut water for the best natural electrolyte, it has so much to offer.”
In conversation with Subah Saraf, Co-founder, Satvic Movement, we found out all the different ways in which you can make use of them.
“The coconut is truly a gift from nature. It’s astonishing to see how every part of it is used in one or the other way, leaving almost nothing to waste. In Sanskrit, it’s called as Shreephal, meaning “God’s fruit,” so there has to be a reason for that,” said Saraf.
According to her, the soft flesh inside, what we call malai, is so rich and delicious yet creamy. “It can be enjoyed as a healthy snack or add it to your milkshakes or desserts. Talking about its water, it’s like nature’s own refreshing drink filled with rich life-giving nutrients,” she added.
She mentioned that the outer hard shell can be transformed into beautiful bowls, utensils, or other decorative items. The husk which is thrown most of the time in reality is super versatile and is often it is used in making ropes, doormats and brushes as well as in padding of mattresses.
The coir is used to make nests, make thatching for houses or just use as a padding or stuffing for various hollow items, she added.
