Coconut

Whenever tanning, either indoor or outdoor is best to use a tanning lotion and not oils. Oils are more likely to burn your skin, and do not give you the nutrients you need in your skin to hold a tan and the lotions help prevent the 'leather skin' from over sun exposure. NEVER let your skin burn, burning is the main cause of skin cancer. And, not all burns turn into a tan, it CAN if its not a bad burn.. but most likely your skin will peel off leaving lighter patches where you burned.

Coconut oil seems to have anti-viral properties, primarily from its potent lauric acid, that may assist in mono recover. As of now, however, coconut oil aiding in mono recovery is mainly linked to anecdotal stories. It's worth a try though! Coconut oil should not be used as treatment for any disease or ailment. Please consult with your doctor to instruct you best how to deal with your specific illness, in this case, mono.

The Coconut originated in the SW Pacific and reached Africa later - though it is not native to Africa, they can be found there in sub tropical and tropical costal areas

In short, no. Coconuts need consistently high temperatures with high humidity and rainfall. Although the very southern parts of Italy probably have high enough temperatures, the Italian peninsula is very dry and sees little rainfall, in particular in the south. Some are grown privately in gardens (e.g. Sicily) and others are grown in greenhouses (various places). But the coconut (cocos nucifera) is not native to Italy or the mediterranean, it is grown widely in the tropics where it thrives on sandy beaches that can provide high temperatures, high humidity and a lot of rainfall.

Coconut oil is composed of lipids (fats) which are nonpolar compounds that are not miscible with water, which is polar.

The chemical reason is a bit complex and involves physical chemistry to explain, but in short, nonpolar molecules do not carry much of a partial charge distribution, while polar molecules do. As far as polar and nonpolar compounds go, "like dissolves like" is the general rule and so polar compounds like to stay with polar compounds (this is why water and vinegar will mix) and nonpolar compounds like to stay with nonpolar compounds (mixing oils - although, depending on the density, these may separate with time). A brief chemistry explanation: the association of polar compounds with nonpolar compounds is energetically unfavorable and so these molecules do their best to not associate with each other because it would require an energy input to do so. In general, chemical systems try to stay at the lowest energy level possible and so adding energy to put two molecules together is an energy-involving process, which makes it less favorable and therefore less likely to occur. This is called the "hydrophobic effect".

Unfortunately, it has to be opened before you can tell. And you'll definitely know it's spoiled. Coconut smells awful when it's gone rancid. By all means, do not drink the coconut milk from a rancid fruit and don't use the meat. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Yuk.

step1. dry it, preferably in the sun. 2. separate oil from residues. Add sugar and seal it. Shelf life is improved but only moderate, say a month. Unrefined, crystal salt seems better, still it becomes stale when heating with chopped potato refines it, but suitable only for immediate use. I do not have info on chemicals used to improve shelf life over a reasonable period, say 6 months to a year.

yes, I Think?

Yes, coconut tree can grow in salty water or sea water.

Chances are, even if you can't eat some (or all) nuts, you will probably be fine with coconut. The proteins (which are the allergens) are very different and coconut allergy is rare.

I need to know the price for coconut macaroons. thanks

yes they can. - or maybe even bigger. Can your head get bigger than a coconut?

Coconuts are grown mostly in the tropics. Grenada in the Caribbean has an abundance of coconuts. Coconuts grow in Brazil, the Philippines, Hawaii, Malaysia, south America, Florida, California, New Zealand, Polynesia, Southern Asia. The coconut palm grows on sandy soil and can stand against the amount of salt in the soil. It prefers areas with a lot sunlight and regular rainfall. Coconuts also need high humidity for it to grow.

It's called ambrosia

coconut oil

No that's just a myth monkeys do not like coconuts!!!

a coconut grater is something you grate coconut on. Like grated cheese, except this is for grated coconut. The grater is different though, it's a little bench with a sharp saw like metal edge that protrudes out of the side of the bench so that you can cut a coconut in half, leave the hard shell on but remove the outter softer shell, then press against the grater with a up and down motion. The grated cocunut falls to the bowl you have placed underneath for that purpose.

The coconut virgin oil refined is that one which passes the various stages in a refinery. The coconut virgin oil unrefined is that one which is yet to pass through the various stages of a refinery.

Using a small, sturdy knife, pry out the coconut meat from the shell. It will come out in pieces, but try to keep them as large as possible. Using a swivel vegetable peeler, peel the outer brown part from the coconut meat. Then, shred it with a cheese grater (rotary or standing) or a food processor fitted with the fine shredding blade.

Yes, coconut does contain some sugar.

The whole coconut is the seed so depending on the coconut's size it could be pretty heavy.

oily coconut flesh

liquid or light weight fibre layer

please tell answer

Half a cup of melted butter is the same as half a cup of crisco. -Except it will taste better.
