Coconut is the most important fruit in the tropics for it gives precious water full of potassium and other minerals. The young flesh looks like yogurt and is delicious. The old flesh is hard and can be good to eat in small quantities, or is a great addition to various dishes; coconuts also have some medicinal properties.
The juice of green coconuts (immature fruits) is recommended for heart, liver and kidney disorders, as well as gonorrhea. In case of dehydration, it can be mixed with some lime juice. Even though coconuts are delicious and good for you, they can be quite dangerous should one fall on your head.
So whether you want to prevent coconuts from falling on your head or savor the juice, there is just one minor problem: climbing the tree, it takes a lot of skill.
