Nature's gift

There was a long period of time when I stayed away from coconut in my diet. Which essentially meant I just stopped buying it. So, for about 25 years coconut was out of our kitchen. The saturated fat in coconut is higher than any other ingredient we use in our cooking. But it is bad only when cooked. In its raw form it is the best for our health.

It was after one of my recent travels abroad that everything changed. I learned raw food is very healthy and coconuts took the lead in health benefits. So, whenever I get a chance I throw in some shredded fresh coconut in my vegetables to top 'em off. I make sure they don't cook along with the other ingredients though.
