Coconut

The coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm, which originally was probably native to South America, but is now widespread around the world in areas with tropical or warm subtropical climate. It became known in Europe as early as the 500s through travel stories.

Both milk and fruit pulp is used in baking and cooking. Coconut is also used in the beauty industry. Skin lotion containing coconut is said to be good for dry skin, eczema and psoriasis.

In perfumes coconut brings a sweet, round scent.
