Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm, belonging to the Arecaceae family.  It is also called tree of life, since all its parts can be exploited: in addition to the pulp also water, milk, oil, shell and leaves.
Coconut is a source of minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, sodium, calcium, magnesium and iron.
