Around 3000 BC, Austronesian seafarers arrived in the Philippines. With Coconut as survival cum staple food during long voyages they expanded their dominance to many continents. . Centuries later, Portuguese explorers, including Vasco De Gama, admired coconuts for their versatility, naming them "coco" (meaning "grinning face") and using them for food, water, and more!

Coconuts: The original energy drink and food for explorers who didn’t need a gym to stay strong to modern times ! 😊
