PRODUCTS FROM THE COCONUT TREE

Woven coconut leaves known locally as cadjan are used as thatch, while

coconut timber is used widely as rafters and in the furniture industry. Coconut

leaves and roots are used as fuel for the hearth. Mats and basketware are

woven from the treated leaves and their spiny ekels (mid-ribs) are used to

make ekel brooms and baskets. Fresh coconut floral decorations are a must at

traditional rituals and ceremonials. The young coconut fruit holds within it a

refreshing & nutrition packed drink, while the matured kernel is grated and

pressed for coconut milk, used in cooking curry. Major multinational companies

are marketing coconut milk in powdered form obviating the need for scraping

or grating the kernel and expressing the milk, an exacting kitchen chore when

making curry.

The sweet toddy tapped from the spathe of the coconut flower provides a rich

jaggery (palm Sugar) and palm treacle (honey). Vinegar is a by - product of

toddy while fermented toddy distilled provides arrack, which is the national

Alcoholic beverage of Sri Lanka. Desiccated coconut kernel is used

extensively in the confectionery industry (for example - bounty bars), while

from dried kernel or copra, coconut oil is extracted for use widely as a cooking

fat which has a very high omega 3 content and also for the manufacture of

cosmetics, soaps, margarine, and creams. The residue after the oil extractions

is a ready - made poonac or high protein & fat containing animal feed.
