The coconut, the coconut fruit, which grows abundantly in the tropical climate of northern Brazil, is consumed daily by the Brazilian population. She was picked when it contains a lot of liquid milk and a thin layer of flesh to be drunk with a straw after breakthrough.
When no more milk but thick white flesh, it gives rise to quantities of food preparation and extraction of cocoa butter that goes into the manufacture of many products.
