How Lauren Landers Sailing uses every part of a fresh coconut

When Lauren collects fresh coconuts, she gets multiple uses out of each one. The coconut water is her first priority because it is packed with electrolytes. The coconut meat she eats straight, but she also blends it to make fresh coconut milk, which she describes as phenomenal compared to the store-bought version. A third use is making coconut flakes from the dried meat. Getting coconuts while sailing remote areas is a practical way to supplement nutrition when fresh produce is hard to come by.
