Coconut is a buzzy food these days. Helpful with weight loss and an excellent source of fiber,
coconut contains no trans-fats, is gluten free, hypo allergenic, and supports the immune system.
In short, coconuts are a super food - and they’re also SUPER to use in food, whether it’s through the use of shredded coconut, coconut water, coconut oil, coconut milk, or even coconut flour. But despite all these different ways to take advantage of the health benefits of coconut, exactly how do you add it into your diet?
Coconut oil can be used in cooking fairly easily, in many cases replacing other seed or nut oils, as well as butter. It’s particularly tasty in baked goods, and does well paired with fish or vegetables. A little oil can go a long way, too - rich and flavorful, a smaller amount will often compensate for larger amounts of other cooking oils.
Coconut milk, a mixture of coconut water and the “meat” of the coconut is rich and creamy. Great for cooking - whether it’s curry dishes or a new take on a cake - it’s also an excellent dairy free alternative in coffee, tea, or cocoa, salad dressings, soups, and more.
Coconut water is essentially a natural sports drink, helping to hydrate and serving up over 10 percent of daily potassium requirements. Low in sodium, it can be found in a variety of natural fruit flavors or just plain. It’s great in smoothies, too.
One of the easiest ways to add health-enhancing and tasty coconut is having it already a part of a favorite beverage. CACAFE is a made-in-the-U.S. manufacturer of coconut coffee, tea, and cocoa.
