Coconut Mantap (Cocos nucifera spp.)

Cocos nucifera, commonly known as the coconut palm, is a tropical tree in the Arecaceae family, widely cultivated across coastal regions of the tropics. Renowned for its versatile fruit, it provides coconut water, milk, oil, and coir, all of which are integral to culinary, industrial, and traditional medicinal uses. The tree’s various parts—leaves, husks, and trunk—also serve practical purposes, from roofing and weaving to construction. With its nutritional, economic, and cultural significance, Cocos nucifera remains one of the most important and iconic plants in tropical ecosystems worldwide.
