The Intriguing Benefits Of Buwa (Coconut Embryo)

As we all know, mature coconuts are regular gathered for their highly nutritious milk. If you’ve spent enough time cracking them open however, you may notice that sometimes there are interesting formations found within. This usually indicates a coconut that was ready to sprout leaves. This early formation became known as buwa (or sometimes buha), and is surprisingly just as edible as the rest of the insides of the coconut.

Other common terms for this are the coconut embryo or even coconut apple, oddly enough. The cotyledon is actually a more accurate technical name. In the Philippines, these are eaten raw as a delicacy. Given the high nutritional value of the usual contents of coconuts, it should come as no surprise that this too would be quite healthy.
