Re: ( to PJ) re:using coconut

[Guest guest]

Hello PJ,

I recently discovered an Indian grocery store not far from me...

saw a lot of things, but wondering what to eat / buy and how to cook...

I was reading about kokum...supposedly good for cholesterol and sugar regulation

in the body...got some to make an herbal tincture of...

Wondering if you can shed some light on what is good there...

They had all kinds of coconut...is there a site that would help me know how to

eat that in a healthy way...

Also i got 16 oz jar of coconut oil very reasonably ($2.99) - compared to

spectrum cococnut oil...which is 14 oz for nearly $10.00....

I recently read a book published in 1909, in which the author says about

different customs in Kerala,India. The very name Kerala indicates the land of

coconuts and I live in Kerala. Our entire food,vegetarian and non-vegetarian are

based on coconut. The book says about the food of an 18 century warrior. He eats

one plate of boiled rice mixed with scrambled coconut in the morning with no

other side dish. Another king eats tender coconut mixed with jaggery(If you go

on heating sugar cane juice it will end up in a dark brown viscous substance

called jaggery)in the early morning. All the above food indicates that they all

are body building techniques.I recently read a herbal medicine note, which state

that a tincture made of the roots of coconut tree which you find on the trunk

above ground level cures diabetes.
