Incredible Ways to Use Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a lot of fun. So are coconuts. For example…
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts. There they are standing in a row. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head…
Actually, does anyone know how the rest of that song goes? Because I don’t.
Aside from the Lion King and Monty Python references (believe me, I was thinking about doing one here), Coconuts are an amazing food. And if you take two of them and knock them together, they make a neat sound. Oops!
Nature is incredibly bountiful. After all, it’s called nature. All of a human’s needs can be found using raw, organic ingredients. Why bother relying on processed foods that might contain less-than-healthy ingredients?
The local people call the coconut the Tree of Life due to its professed healing powers. In particular, people living in island countries ate a diet consisting mainly of rice, root crops, vegetables and the ultra-healing coconut.
