Coconut Tree of Life
WONDERS NEVER CEASE for the tree of life.
At the 7th National Coconut Festival held from August 7 to 10 at the Megatrade Hall of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City, guests were introduced to new coco health products, both edible and un, much to their amazement and celebration.
New health products that caught the eye of the festival-goers included coco sap beverages, skim milk beverages, gluten-free coconut flour, and fiber-rich low sugar food products.
Last year, in the same coco festival, we were won over by coco sugar, nutritious sugar made from coconut sap, which is supposed to be good for diabetes. Other previous revelations from the annual festival include Virgin Coconut Oil in its many variations, including VCO for massage therapy and well-being. In festivals past, also highlighted were other coco-based invetions like coco fiber geo textiles and coco biodiesel.
