A few customers have been asking us Why is coconut good for you? So decided to share the knowledge with our BambuSF fans. According to our friends at BCC Health.... Not only is coconut water and milk lactose-free, gluten-free, and paleo friendly... Coconuts are highly nutritious and rich in fibre, vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Coconuts contain significant amounts of fat, but unlike other nuts, they provide fat that is mostly in the form of medium chain saturated fatty acids (MCFAs) in particular, one called lauric acid. Lauric acid is converted in the body into a highly beneficial compound called monolaurin, an antiviral and antibacterial that destroys a wide variety of disease causing organisms. It is therefore now thought that consumption of coconut milk may help protect the body from infections and viruses. Feel free to message us if you have additional questions...
