Get ready to go coco-nuts celebrating everything coconut on World Coconut Day! This global celebration recognizes the importance of the super versatile coconut and its many uses.

From the coconut fruit itself to oil, water, milk, sugar and more, no part of the coconut goes to waste. The coconut palm is rightly called the "tree of life" for its multitude of benefits.

On World Coconut Day, enjoy delicious coconut-infused meals, snacks and beverages. Try your hand at cooking with coconut oil, baking coconut macaroons, or whipping up piña coladas.

This holiday also highlights coconut farming as a livelihood for millions, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Coconut farmers face challenges like storms, pests and unstable markets. Supporting fair trade coconut products helps them earn a living.

With its hydrating milk, nourishing meat, versatile wood and so much more, the modest coconut certainly deserves its own day in the spotlight as a tropical treasure. Go nuts with the coconut this World Coconut Day!
