CMD Rio de Coco
Tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango, banana, passion fruit or guava bring some South Seas flair to your cocktail at home. But no exotic treat conveys the feeling of a turquoise sea and white beaches more than coconut. The Asian staple is becoming increasingly popular in Europe. In supermarkets, however, it is usually not the entire coconut that is on sale, but only the kernel. Immediately after harvesting, the coconut is covered with a thick layer of fibres and protected by a waterproof greenish outer skin. A ripe coconut is 20-30 cm long and weighs up to 2.5 kg. Because of this mass, staying under coconut palms is not all that safe either. The doctor Peter Barss investigated the risks of falling coconuts in 1984. According to him, an average coconut reaches almost 80 kilometres per hour when falling from a 25-metre-high palm tree. So on impact it exerts more than a tonne of pressure. Statistically, coconut palms are more dangerous to tourists than sharks and crocodiles. In some places, they are even felled and replaced by harmless palm trees.
In the countries along the equator, you'll find stalls selling coconuts on many street corners. In the tropical heat, coconut water is an ideal refreshment. Aromatic coconut oil is extracted from the flesh of the coconuts and is used universally in Southeast Asian cuisine for frying, baking, steaming, deep-frying, but also for cold dishes. On the Polynesian islands, the natives have been using coconut oil for the care of skin and hair for many centuries. The skin-friendly properties of the moisturising oil are also the focus of the natural cosmetics series Rio de Coco by CMD.
