Watch a video! It is World Coconut Day on 2 SeptemberHappy World Coconut Day!

Yes, there is a day to celebrate one of nature’s most useful plants, the coconut every year. That day is today!

This day is celebrated to spread awareness about the importance and value of the coconut. This year's theme is “Put resources into Coconut to spare the world”.

The International Coconut Community (ICC) declared this day as World Coconut Day in 2009. It has its headquarters in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The coconut is known as the 'Tree of life'.

This is because the coconut tree provides food, drink, oil, wood and more. Every part of this plant is valuable and useful in some way or the other.

The coconut fruit also has many health benefits. Coconuts are especially high in manganese, which is essential for bone health. They’re also rich in copper and iron, which help form red blood cells. It also has fibre, protein, selenium, and more.

Did you use coconut in your house? If yes, what do you use it for?
