Naral

Scientific Name:
Cocos nucifera

Naral (Coconut) thrives in sandy, well-drained soil with full sun and regular watering. It provides habitat for birds, small animals, and insects, while helping prevent soil erosion in coastal ecosystems. Renowned for its antimicrobial, hydrating, and nutrient-rich properties, its oil, water, and kernel are used to treat skin conditions, dehydration, and as a natural antiseptic. The versatile fruit is consumed globally for its water, milk, oil, and flesh, making it a staple in cooking and baking.
