Coconut is a versatile and essential food item widely used in South and Southeast Asia. It is a key ingredient in many regional recipes, making it indispensable in kitchens across the tropics. Coconuts are a complete food, rich in calories, vitamins, and minerals, providing nearly all the essential nutrients and energy needed by an average person.

A medium-sized coconut, with around 400 grams of edible meat and 30-150 ml of water, offers a substantial amount of daily-required vitamins and minerals. Coconut water is a refreshing and hydrating drink, especially in tropical climates. It is packed with simple sugars, electrolytes, and bioactive compounds like cytokinin and enzymes such as acid phosphatase, catalase, dehydrogenase, peroxidase, and polymerases, which support digestion and metabolism.

Coconuts are also a great source of B-complex vitamins like folates, riboflavin, niacin, thiamine, and pyridoxine, all of which must be replenished from external sources. Additionally, coconut meat and water are rich in potassium, with 100 grams of fresh coconut meat containing 356 mg of potassium, which is about 7.5% of the recommended daily intake.

A full-sized coconut typically weighs about 1.44 kg (3.2 lb), making it a highly nutritious and versatile addition to any diet.
