For many, coconut covers all the summer moods, whether mixed with refreshing pina colada or hanging on a tree on the beach.
According to the Library of Congress, coconut may be considered a fruit, but this tropical food is technically a fruit, nut, and seed. It has a lot of fat inside, so it works a bit, but one thing you might not consider is its fiber. Like the United States, each 2 “x 2.5” raw portion provides 4 grams (g). The Department of Agriculture states that it makes it a good source of nutrients.
Baking coconut will deepen the flavor and allow it to dry sufficiently and soak in decadent dark chocolate. A pinch of sea salt completes this delicious summer dessert! There are some inspirations for enjoying coconut this way.
