Video - El coco en la nutrición y la salud.

La parte comestible del fruto del cocotero, conocido como coco, es el endospermo de la semilla. El endospermo de divide en dos partes: el endospermo líquido conocido como “agua” de coco y el endospermo sólido conocido como pulpa o “carne” de coco. Sobre ambos describo información relacionada con sus componentes químicos y los beneficios que a la salud aporta su consumo.
