"[C]oconut water is neither rainwater nor seawater stored inside, but carefully filtered and nutrient-rich clear liquid formed by the tree itself."

Africa: How Do Coconuts Get Their Water?: [The Conversation Africa] Coconut trees are iconic plants found across the world's tropical regions. They're called "nature's supermarket" or the "tree of life" in several cultures because every part of the coconut tree is used. Its leaves can be used to thatch homes, its heart can be eaten and its roots have medicinal uses. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJvBvG #Coconuts #TropicalPlants #Nature #Sustainability #CoconutWater

Did you know the #Reagan #CIA sprayed #paraquat on #marijuana fields in #Jamaica in the 1980's?
And they not only sprayed marijuana crops but also #bananas & #coconuts. There was a #starvation epidemic in Jamaica in the 1980's that resulted from this.
A very nice interview with a scientist who's mapped the ecological impacts of past coconut plantations on Pacific atolls: https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/the-conversation/2024-12-30/new-study-looks-at-the-impact-of-coconut-plantations-across-pacific-atolls
It was fascinating to learn the different ecosystem effects depending on whether an atoll had random coconuts washing ashore and taking root, vs indigenous residents bringing coconuts when settling the area, vs coconut plantations that clearcut large areas of forest to plant a monocrop.
@GreenFire or we could all shake the #coconuts from their #trees
Might be a better use of #energy ???
