This is my first topic in food section, I've been learning alot here as a guest, thats why i decided to share this. about coconut COCONUTS, scientifically named Cocos Nucifera, are fruits of the coconut palm that grows in the tropics. Coconuts are simple dry nut known as fibrous drupe. The name coconut is derived from a Spanish and Portuguese word, Coco meaning monkey's face. Spanish and Portuguese explorers who discovered the coconut believe the round indented markings at its base resembled the face of a monkey. Coconut has been confirmed to be very useful from its husk, which is used as fuel, to the oil used in cosmetics and margarine; the coconut meat and water is used in preparing delicious meals and snacks. Coconuts are available all year round and can be stored for about four months at room temperature, which implies that you can go ahead and stock your warehouse with enough to last you this season. Coconut is highly nutritious and has many health benefits. It contains essential vitamins and the oil is said to be saturated, good for heart conditions. Coconut can be eaten raw and its water could serve as a refreshing drink. Just as the coconut palm can serve different purposes, similarly the fruit can be used for confectioneries, beverages and other mouth -watering recipes. Published studies in medical journals show that coconut, in one form or another may provide a wide range of health benefits. Coconut kills viruses that cause influenza, herpes, measles, hepatitis C, SARS, AIDS, and other illnesses. It kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, gum disease and cavities, pneumonia, gonorrhea and other diseases. It also kills fungi and yeasts that cause candidiasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, thrush, diaper rash, and other infections. It helps expel tapeworms, lice, giardia and other parasites. It provides a nutritional source of quick energy. Coconut boosts energy and endurance, enhancing physical and athletic performance. It also improves digestion and absorption of other nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

arabianights:Was running away from typing yesterday. Anyway steps are below: Ingredients 4 cups of beans 1/2 medium sized Coconut Oil- palm oil/ groundnut oil Fresh pepper/tatashe Onion Prawn and crayfish Salt Seasoning- Maggi/Knorr cube METHOD I remove the skin of the beans, deshell the coconut and remove the brown covering leaving the white meat. I blend the beans and coconut with pepper, onion, crayfish, tatashe until smooth then pour in a bowl. I add seasoning, oil of my choice, prawn, crayfish, water, onion and salt then stir in circular motion to incorporate air. Put in my choice container and steam Note You can add smoked fish/boiled egg/ponmo/liver etc to your beans paste but I like my moimoi bare with only crayfish, prawn and onion. Save me a wrap after cooking oh 1 Like |
