HEALTH BENEFITS:
Coconut stimulates the metabolism, helps to lose weight, is effective against bacteria and fungi, fights against cancer cells and can even improve dementia.
SUSTAINABILITY:
It's best to choose a Fairtrade option, because coconut and its products
come from distant countries and thus contribute to a large CO2 emission.
