To me, it has a wonderful scent and a light, sweet taste. For those who don't particularly like the taste of coconuts (I don't know who would), there are products like coconut milk and creamer that do not have a 'coconutty' flavor.
If my husband was Tom Hanks on Cast Away, he would starve because the only foods one can eat on an island are seafood, bugs, & coconuts. My husband dislikes coconuts a lot. I, however, enjoy them.
When most people think of coconuts, they think of the fleshy, white 'meat' center of the nut. There is so much more to the coconut than just the meat. Coconuts also provide milk, juice, & oil. Coconuts are the most nutritious food on earth. They carry many health benefits including MCT (the healthy fat), fiber, minerals, and vitamins.
Recently, I went on a detox and discovered coconut milk, creamer, cultured milk, and raw coconut crystals. Virgin coconut oil has been a staple of my diet for almost 2 years. It has been scientifically proven to help burn belly fat because it contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. It increases the body's metabolism by removing stress on the pancreases, thereby, burning out more energy & helping obese and overweight people reduce their weight. It is also an excellent moisturizer for the face and hair. I use it in my homemade sugar scrubs.
There are many populations where coconuts are a staple in the diet. Hence, people living in tropical coastal areas who eat coconut oil as their primary cooking oil, are normally not fat, obese, or overweight.
If you aren't including this nutritional powerhouse in your daily diet, I would highly recommend you start doing so today. The many health benefits you will reap from this addition will be much worth it.
