The coconut palm has many uses, writes
Katana.
The timber is used make things and the
leaves are used to weave baskets and other things and also for thatch for roofing houses.
The tree also produces fruit which is very
good to eat and each coconut contains milk
which we like to drink.
But there is also another by-product of the
coconut tree – alcohol.
It is dangerous to our bodies because it is
so strong and harmful. The sap is tapped
from the tree and it ferments into almost raw alcohol very quickly. It is
dangerous and can make you very ill or even kill you if taken in large quantities.
