Did you know that every part of the coconut has a use? Coconut “meat” can be dried and shredded or flaked, and coconut water contains electrolytes and compounds which may act as antioxidants. Coconut milk, made by mixing water and grated coconut meat, makes a creamy and delicious dairy alternative, and coconut oil is great for everything from baking to skincare. Even the shell is useful for making activated charcoal!
