Do you know that?

The raw coconut meat consists of about 30% fat, 15% sugar and 3% protein. Coconut is a good source of vitamins B – B2, B6 and B9 as well as minerals: magnesium, potassium, selenium, copper, manganese, zinc and iron.

Coconut contains much more potassium than, for example, bananas, which are widely recognized as a rich source of this element. Coconut is a good source of electrolytes.

The greatest value is attributed to the saturated fatty acids contained in cocnut meat. The saturated fatty acids contained in the coconut are medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) that have small molecules and their metabolism is faster because it does not require the presence of enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of LCT fats, i.e. lipase and bile. This causes MCTs to bypass fat cells and to be not deposited in the form of adipose tissue, but are a source of energy. In addition, coconut has numerous health-promoting and cosmetic properties.
