Coconut and its various edible components like the flesh, its oil and even flour have been the toast of the health world for quite some time now due to the presence of high amounts of healthy fats. The nutritionist posted a picture of the coconut flower and mentioned its benefits. She wrote, “Splitting this open so that you can see what this is all about. Not a lotus or a rose but a flower nevertheless, say hello to the coconut flower. Rich in micronutrients and taste, hyper local to the coastal parts of India, this little flower is good for your blood sugars, brain and bones.” This can be consumed especially in the summer months due to its ability to keep the body hydrated and replenish electrolyte stores.
