Coconut rice has always been one of the favourite dishes in many homes over here. Its been served in many occasions events and parties. The rich coconut aroma and taste usually made guest to ask for more. People cook it in different ways for example some used to add fresh tomatoes or stew to it, but I don't like it that way, I like it cooked with only coconut because I want to have that distinctive coconut taste.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF COCONUT RICE:

Coconut may be classified as a nut or fruit depending on what it is used for. In culinary world we view it as fruit because of a sweet nutty flavour it added to dishes.

Coconut is a source of healthy fats and it has various health benefits it contains protein and fibre as well as essential minerals like iron, copper, Manganese and magnesium. Sometimes it is used as part of traditional medicine, Its meat is used to counteract some poison, ease inflammation, kill bacterial and protect against disease.

It improves endurance and give us a better oral health, it also helps in losing weight. Coconut is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and thus helping speeding up metabolism. The coconut milk extracted from the coconut is used in preparing the rice, the milk contain lauric acid a product found in mother's milk which promote brain development and Bone health. I know you will like to tap in all this benefits.
