Ubiquitous coconut

The humble, yet mighty coconut is a necessity in every household in South, West and certain places in North India ...why just households it ventures on to the streets, beaches and surprisingly popular hangouts-pubs/ lounge bars et all, surprised? Think divine 'Pinacolada', the virgin one for me please;)

Coconus nucifera is highly nutritious, high on fibre, vitamins and minerals and is the best respite on a bright hot sunny day.Every part of this tree made use of and hence the title, 'Tree of Life' or KALPAVRUKSHA .

For me, it's a gentle reminder of our traditions and culture; every holy offering made to the dieties invariably comprises the coconut, an indication of prosperity and goodwill.
