Here is a product that I use a lot in my everyday life. When I was young, my brother used to tease me that I stink of coconut from head to toes, and he wasn't wrong. I put this product in my hair, all over my body, in my food and everything about the plant is useful for me. It's coconut. This is a very Indian Ocean plant and almost every household is probably using it in one way or another. But here, I use it's milk from the grated fresh coconut to cook cassava leaves.
Cassava leaves is part of our national dish, yes my Malagasy friends would say that it has to be cooked with pork but since I don't eat meat, I show you what I do. Cassava leaves have a bitter taste and coconut milk marry very well with it. I only use, freshly picked cassava leaves, lots of garlic and plenty of coconut milk to simmer it in.
Freshly grated coconut is a beautiful ingredient to have at home. You can make so many things with it. I consider it my forever beauty product and problem solving item in the house!
