Which Parts are Best to Eat and Avoid?
What? There are parts of the coconut that isn’t good for you? Is that even possible?
It seems like a shock, but there’s an explanation for everything.
The coconut fruit comes from a tree nut. It is a given that it’s enormous. Nonetheless, it belongs to the nut family. Do you know anyone who has a tree nut allergy? If so, never give them food or drinks that have this ingredient. It can set off a person’s reaction.
Now, it does seem kind of rare for anyone to have a proven allergic reaction to it. Still, it does not hurt to be cautious.

It comes from dried and grounded meat. The taste is exquisitely unique, provides a tasteful flavor. Amazing for bread, pastries as it absorbs liquid well. Since it does not have massive lectin content, the flour will be good for your gut and overall health.

Oil
