THE EDIBLE PART OF THE COCONUT FRUIT (COCONUT MEAT AND COCONUT 0 8 WATER) IS THE ENDOSPERM TISSUE. ENDOSPERM TISSUES UNDERGO ONE OF THREE MAIN MODES OF DEVELOPMENT. WHICH ARE THE NUCLEAR, CELLULAR AND HELOBIAL MODES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COCONUT ENDOSPERM BELONGS TO THE NUCLEAR MODE. INITIALLY. THE ENDOSPERM 1S A LIQUID CONTAINING FREE NUCLEL GENERATED BY A PROCESS. IN WHICH THE PRIMARY ENDOSPERM NUCLEUS UNDERGOES SEVERAL CYCLES OF DIVISION WITHOUT CYTOKINESIS (THE PROCESS IN WHICH THE CYTOPLASM OF A SINGLE EUKARYOTIC CELL IS DIVIDED TO FORM TWO DAUGHTER CELLS). CYTOKINESIS THEN OCCURS, @ | ©& PROGRESSING FROM THE PERIPHERY TOWARDS THE CENTRE. THUS FORMING THE CELLULAR ENDOSPE LAYER. AT RST. THE CELLULAR ENDOSPERM IS TRANSLUCENT ANDJELLY-LIKE. BUT IT LATER HARDENS AT MATURITY TO BECOME WHITE ESH (COCONUT MEAT). UNLIKE THE ENDOSPERMS OF OTHER PLANTS (EG. WHEAT AND COM). THE CELLULARIZATION PROCESS IN A COCONUT FRUIT DOES NOT FILL UP THE ENTIRE EMBRYO SAC CAVITY. BUT INSTEAD LEAVES THE CAVITY SOLUTION- LLED. THIS SOLUTION IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS COCONUT WATER AND IT IS OF CYTOPLASMIC ORIGIN G71. aMONTH ae HL WATER ° : +MIAKES AN EXCELLENT ORAL REHYDRATION SPORTS @BEV.ERAGE - REPLACES ELECTROLYTES FROM EXERCISE. & STRESS AND ILLNESS 6’ IN EXERCISE PERFORMANCE + NATURAL ISOTONIC BEVERAGE - CONTAINS THE SAME 0 8 LEVEL OF ELECTROLYTES FOUND IN HUMAN BLOOD +HAS 15 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF POTASSIUM AS MOST SPORTS AND ENERGY DRINKS (264 MG VS 12.5 MG /100 ML) +REDUCES PROBLEMS FOR INFANTS SUFFERING FROM INTESTINAL DISTURBANCES + CARDIOPROTECTIVE: HELPS REGULAR BLOOD PRESSURE (DUE TO HIGH POTASSIUM): IMPROVES CIRCULATION e *REDUCES SWELLING IN HANDS AND FEET *PREVENTS ABNORMAL BLOOD CLOTTING % \ + AIDS IN KIDNEY FUNCTION INCLUDING THOSE WITH e KIDNEY STONES: NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THOSE WIT!
