Tropical paradise
At home: coconut water to drink and in the background: coconut tree and mango tree
"The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family (Arecaceae) and the only living species of the genus Cocos.[1] The term "coconut" (or the archaic "cocoanut")[2] can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a nut. The name comes from the old Portuguese word coco, meaning "head" or "skull", after the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features. They are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions and are a cultural icon of the tropics."
""Composed predominantly of water (95% of its content), vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, amino acids and antioxidants, the drink promotes benefits that range from hydration, to reducing stress to preventing diseases such as cancer"

In the 16th century, the plant was introduced in Brazil by Duarte Coelho, the first captain-donator of the Captaincy of Pernambuco, spreading to many regions, mainly along the northeastern coast.
