At least 12 crops can come out of a coconut plant depending on its state of maturation. Nectar from unopened flowers can be used to create a syrup

The nut technically called a drupe holds coconut water when the coconut is unripe but the water is absorbed as the fruit ripens from green to brown with a husk.

Coconut water has a considerable amount of nutrients including potassium sodium magnesium and calcium especially when compared with other juices.

The coconut meat can be eaten or processed into oil and used in soaps shampoos toothpaste in lubricants paints plastics

#Where Do Cashews Come From? Though you might think of it as just another nut in the trail mix the cashew is a decidedly strange snack.

Sprouting like a tail from the bottom of an oddly-shaped fruit the cashew in its natural state is both very weird-looking and very poisonous.

While many of the cashews produced for commerce come from Africa and India the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is native to tropical regions of Brazil.

The tree produces a long fleshy stalk called a cashew apple which resembles a small pear.

At the end of this stalk grows the kidney-shaped cashew nut that many know and love. Cashew nuts are protected from hungry passerby by a double shell containing a potent poison called anacardic acid.

This oily substance#closely related to urshiol the toxic compound found in poison ivy poison oak and poison sumac#acts as an irritant causing an allergic rash on the skin.

Its corrosive coating is the reason that cashew nuts are sold not in their shells like pistachios or peanuts.

Instead cashews are dried typically and roasted a process that rids the nut of toxic oils and leaves its shell brittle and easy to remove.

However cashews that have not been dried and roasted can be purchased in some stores and online. But as Deborah Enos a certified nutritionist and health coach explains in her column for Live Science people should use caution

when purchasing any cashews labeled as raw. Though these nuts are steamed most likely or otherwise processed Enos said that those with a severe allergy to urshiol

(i e. poison ivy) may not want to risk finding out whether these processes for removing anarcardic acid are entirely effective.

Despite its propensity to poison the cashew is lauded for its substantial store of nutrients. Along with Brazil nuts and almonds cashews have the highest magnesium content per serving of any tree nut.

And like most nuts cashews are also a good source of Vitamin e and cancer-fighting phytochemicals.

See also: Top 10 Cancer-Fighting Foods And in addition to the cashew's known nutritional benefits researchers have explored also the possibility of using the toxic oil found in the nut's shell as an antibiotic.

One study by researchers at University of California Berkeley found that anarcardic acid is effective at killing the bacteria that causes acne as well as that which causes tooth decay and the erosion of tooth enamel.

According to the researchers using cashew oil isn't an entirely new idea as the acid was used at one time in Brazil to treat leprosy.

Cashew nut oil as well as the leaves and bark of the cashew tree have also been used in traditional medicines in communities around the world to treat everything from toothaches to diabetes.

South Pacific coconut gene bank under threatthe international collection of the South Pacific's coconut palm species,

The warning came at a meeting on the Pacific coconut research and development (R&d) strategy in Samoa last week (31 october-1 november),

The deadly disease, Bogia Coconut Syndrome, is threatening the survival of a gene bank of region's most important tree

the coconut, a number of which are endemic. Named after the town of Bogia on the north coast of mainland PNG,

because the country was relatively free of coconut pests and diseases. In an attempt to contain the disease, movement of coconuts and coconut palms, both from the gene bank and for commercial reasons,

out of the affected region has been banned, with roadblocks in place to help enforce this. But these restrictions are preventing the gene bank from fulfilling one of its key roles:

and is one of five international coconut collections around the world. Roland Bourdeix, coordinator of the International Coconut Genetic Resources Network, is arranging an urgent mission to PNG to assess the situation.

We hope to rescue the collection, Bourdeix says. We'll relocate it if there's a safe way to move the plants.

The crisis is at least providing an opportunity to rethink the strategy for regional coconut conservation

We are supporting research to try to identify the Bogia Coconut Syndrome vector and better understand the host range of this disease.

everyone will be placed better to assess the threat both to coconuts and livelihoods in general

#Coconut Husks Make for A Stronger, Lighter Paddleboardwhile biking near his home in Thailand Paolo Cechetti noticed a man weaving raw coconut-husk fibers into bags.

Cechetti an engineer at the water-sports-equipment manufacturer Cobra International is always hunting for techniques to make surfboards stronger and lighter.

In this case cold not drought is the main issue for hazelnuts one of the key ingredients in the chocolatey goodness that is Nutella.

I understand you re working with African cashew farmers. We re a founding member of the African Cashew Initiative,

and we also work with the African Cashew Alliance and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

We ve all come together to improve the livelihood of African farmers. Africa is the largest producer of cashews in the world.

They employ 2. 5million farmers. Does Planters have a market there? We don t sell cashews there.

Do you sell any nuts in Africa? Not that I m aware of. We re looking to support the farmers.

and thanks to cashews, he s able to send all his kids to school. We visited the school, of 900 students in two sessions.

Do any of you have parents who are cashew farmers, and about half of them rose their hands.

create cashew nurseries, implement better agricultural practices. What percentage of your cashews come from Africa?

I don t have the exact number. In prior years we weren t able to procure any.

Macadamia nuts aren t that great for you, right? I wouldn t put it that way.

pistachios are good for you, walnuts are good for you, they all have their own nutrition profile. We re trying to do a better job sharing this.

Mr. Peanut has his own Facebook page. You can friend him. He s up to 150,000 fans.

When the cashew documentary goes live, that will be updated on Facebook. has changed Mr. Peanut at all through the years?
