These
water-bearing nuts are much more than a cool evening drink, but find a place
among the weight-gaining category of foods. Coconuts- or better known as The
King of all Nuts is an Indian delicacy- which has most commonly been associated
for the cool water and flesh (Kernal)- the white layers of thick fibrous skin
in it; as well as the key ingredient for Indian chutneys.
By
just, including this nut in your daily diet you can be sure to add those extra
kilos! A coconut is loaded with fats and is estimated that 90% of its fat is
saturated fat. It has less sugar than most fruits and contains many more
proteins than well-known fruits like banana, apples, and oranges. Although,
this fruit has high amounts of saturated fats in it, it yet has less fat than
any of the other nuts like almonds.

how it’s eaten a coconut varies in its calorie content; one whole coconut has
140 calories in it, whereas when eaten in its shredded form it has 283 calories
in it.

branches out to coconut milk, and coconut water in its liquid forms; and its
fleshy meat (Kernal) in its solid form. Surprisingly though, coconut has found

6% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 2% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Many
different oils like virgin coconut oil, refined coconut oil, hydrogenated oil,
