updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:07
Discover the many ways you can enjoy the tropical fruit in your daily meals with these easy recipes.
Classed as a fruit, the coconut grows in abundance in the tropics and subtropics. Much like how pumpkin is incorporated into many meals in the West, the coconut is a much used ingredient favourite in Asian cooking for both sweet and savoury dishes.
High in dietry fibre, the coconut improves digestion, reduces sweet cravings and is a great go to when you need that extra boost of energy. It also has anti-bacterial properties, boosts serotonin levels in the brain and prevents osteoporosis.
With too many health benefits to count, it’s no wonder the coconut is increasingly being included in many recipes. Rich in flavour and creaminess, the coconut does a good job of giving a fresh tropical taste to any dish. And the sweet aroma is a plus too! Flip through the gallery for 5 delicious recipes from our sister F&B site Gourmand Asia featuring coconut as the star ingredient.
