CONT

Les noix de coco sont vendues sur place dans les pays tropicaux et ouvertes devant l'acheteur qui, à l'aide d'une paille, se désaltère avec l'eau de coco, boisson délicieuse et bactériologiquement stérile. Très tôt, on a vanté les vertus diététiques du «beurre de coco», aliment de digestion et d'assimilation très faciles. Grâce à sa composition, le beurre de coco est relativement stable au rancissement.

OBS

Les noix de coco atteignent la grosseur d'une tête d'homme. Avant leur maturité, elles renferment un liquide blanc [...] Plus tard, ce liquide forme l'amande (coprah), dont le goût rappelle celui de la noisette. On retire de ces fruits de l'huile, du beurre (végétaline, cocose), utilisés dans les préparations culinaires et dans la fabrication des savons.
