Are there coconut palms in Iraq?
Coconut Palms (Cocos nucifera) usually require a fairly humid environment and very little winter cold (it can only take temperatures as low as 30F/-1C for very short periods of time). Because the vast majority of Iraq is desert, the Coconut Palm is not adaptable there. In extreme southeastern Iraq, assuming the winter doesn't get as cold as the interior of the country, it is perhaps possible a Coconut could be cultivated in the short term if given ample water. The most common palm in Iraq is the Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) and can withstand the cold sub-freezing temperatures and dry conditions common to the Iraqi desert. Another hardy, drought tolerant palm common in Iraq and other arid regions of the Middle East is the Mazari Palm (Nannorrhops ritchiana).
When the coconut is young, it has properties like fruit, and as it matures, it becomes more nutty. But in fact it is not a nut or a fruit; it is a seed.
Unless it is picked, a matured coconut eventually drops from the tree. The fully developed hard shell does not crack easily. Dry and brown, the coconut may sit underneath the tree for months and appear as if it were dead, until one day a green shoot pushes its way out of the shell. The whole time the old coconut has been sitting under the tree, changes have been slowly taking place inside. At one end of the coconut (where the eyes are), an embryo starts growing, feeding off the juice and nutrition of the thick white flesh. This embryo develops into a creamy mass that gradually fills much of the empty space inside. It is good to eat - sweet, somewhat spongy and less fibrous than the matured meat.
The embryo eventually sprouts out of the shell and becomes a young coconut seedling. At this point, the plant can survive for several more weeks or months on the food and water inside as roots gradually develop and extend out of the shell to anchor the plant in the ground. Nutritious coconut meat can sustain life for a long time; one of my students, who is a horticulturist, has successfully used coconut milk to nurse seedlings of
other plants in his greenhouse. Coconut palms lead a long productive life. They begin bearing fruits at the age of five to seven years and continue to do so until they are seventy to eighty years old..How do you identify a mature coconut?
Well a mature cocnut comes in different stages, but the most common is a brown skinned coconut. The best time to pick, is when it has been left to mature for a while. You can tell if it is mature, by shaking it and if there is liquid present, it is fairly mature. also, peel the skin to reveal brown hair; that is also mature. :)

What is so special about extra virgin coconut oil?
VIRGIN COCONUT OIL HAS NOT BEEN HYDROGENATED. (HYDROGENATION IS A CHEMICAL PROCESS WHICH ADDS HYDROGEN BONDS TO A MOLECULE. THE FOOD INDUSTRY HYDROGENATES MANY VEGETABLE OILS TO LENGHTEN SHELF LIFE (DECREASE SPOILAGE) AND ADD A MORE BUTTERY TASTE. IF COCONUT OIL IS NOT SPECIFICALLY NAMED "VIRGIN," CHANCES ARE VERY GOOD THAT IT HAS BEEN HYDROGENATED. HYDROGENATED FATS ARE "TRANS FATS" AND ARE KNOWN TO CONTRIBUTE TO HEART DISEASE. In health circles, coconut oil has become a subject of controversy. The Food and Drug Administration advises consumers to avoid coconut oil, a saturated fat. The American Medical Association agrees that saturated fats should be limited in our diets. Evidence in favor of coconut oil has not yet met the FDA’s standards for recommendation; studies are regarded as either inadequately controlled or not extensive enough to be conclusive. Coconut oil's main component is saturated fat. “Saturated fatty acids tend to raise levels of LDL cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) in the blood. Elevated levels of LDL cholesterol are associated with heart disease,” according to the FDA. A heart-healthy diet does not exclude saturated fat; rather, an appropriate balance of saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats is best. Only a mixed-fat diet promotes a healthful ratio of LDL to HDL—the “good” cholesterol—and lowers the risk of heart disease.. However, processed or “partially hydrogenated” coconut oil is unhealthy. The fact is that when coconut oil is hydrogenated it becomes a trans fat, and trans fats are bad news. Trans fats have been closely associated with heart disease because they not only increase LDL cholesterol but impede the body’s ability to utilize HDL. Unless you are using virgin coconut oil, the only coconut oil in your diet may be hydrogenated, since that’s the form it takes in snack foods and nondairy creamers. It’s been suggested that coconut oil bolsters the immune system. Coconut oil may have properties like a natural antibiotic that renders some viruses, bacteria and fungi inactive. The work of Mary G. Enig, a biochemist who also has a doctorate in nutritional sciences, is often referenced by coconut oil enthusiasts. Enig says that the body uses an ingredient in coconut oil to make the disease-fighting substance monolaurin. (Read her speech "Health and Nutritional Benefits From Coconut Oil”). Infants use breast milk to make monolaurin, which may help prevent them from getting certain infections. According to the FDA, which has strict guidelines for validating the health benefits of foods and drugs, it “has not been petitioned to review claims for coconut oil.” More strongly, the Department of Health and Human Services sends warning letters to Web sites that market coconut-oil products based on therapeutic claims. The assertion that coconut oil can cure hypothyroidism appears to be untrue. The idea that coconut oil could cure an underactive thyroid was promoted in a 2003 article in Woman’s World magazine as well as other materials on coconut oil; however, the sources for these pieces have been questioned. According to experts at Mayo Clinic, “there is no evidence that coconut oil stimulates thyroid function. In fact, some research suggests that coconut oil may have a negative impact on the thyroid.” Used in moderation and in its virgin, unprocessed form, coconut oil may ultimately be revealed as a harmless, neutral food. But the dust is still settling on this battlefield. (information furnished by SG, a registered dietitian)
