The coconut palm is grown throughout the tropics for decoration, as well as for its many culinary and non-culinary uses; virtually every part of the coconut palm can be utilized by humans in some manner. Coconut fruit in the wild is light, buoyant and highly water resistant, and evolved to disperse significant distances via marine currents. Most authorities claim it is native to South Asia (particularly the Ganges Delta), while others claim its origin is in northwestern South America.
Culinary uses of the various parts of the coconut include:
- The nut provides oil for cooking and making margarine.
- The white, fleshy part of the seed, the coconut meat, is edible and used fresh or dried in cooking.
- The fleshy part can be desiccated to produce coconut milk in making curry dish and other dishes using coconut milk.

Coco
El coco es una fruta comestible, obtenida del cocotero, la palmera más cultivada a nivel mundial. Tiene una cáscara exterior gruesa y fibrosa (mesocarpio) y otra interior dura, vellosa y marrón (endocarpio) que tiene adherida la pulpa (endospermo), que es blanca y aromática. El lugar de origen del cocotero es un tema discutido, mientras muchos consideran que proviene de Asia del Sur, concretamente de la delta del Ganges, algunos dicen que proviene del noroeste de América del Sur.
Uso Culinario:
- La nuez provee aceite para cocinar y hacer margarina.
- La parte blanca de la semilla, la carne del coco, se usa fresca o seca para platillos.
- La parte carnuda puede ser disecada para producir leche de coco para diferentes platillos.
