Historique
Nul ne connait avec exactitude, la provenance du cocotier (Cocos nucifera), mais l’on s’accorde à dire qu’il serait probablement originaire du Sud-Est asiatique (Malaisie, Mélanésie, Indonésie…). Le cocotier, de la famille des palmiers (Palmacea), poussant traditionnellement en bordure de plage, se serait disséminé, ses noix navigant sur l’Océan vers les régions côtières (une noix peut flotter plusieurs mois sans germer) avant de prendre racine dans le sol sableux des plages tropicales. Les marins ont, par ailleurs, aidé à diffuser cet «Arbre de Vie» dans les régions des Tropiques, emportant les fruits sur leur navire.
Egalement dénommé «Joyau des Tropiques», le cocotier offrit à des civilisations entières, la possibilité de subsister. En effet son fruit, la noix de coco, renferme un doux nectar, l’eau de coco (liquide du fruit non mature) et fournit, une fois arrivée à maturité, la pulpe de son noyau (coprah ou amande de noix de coco).
Au XIVème siècle, l’Italien Marco Polo fit connaitre ce fruit aux Européens, fruit qui deviendra populaire plus tardivement en Amérique du Nord.
En botanique, la noix de coco n’est pas une noix mais une drupe (fruit charnu à noyau). La Noix de Coco en Lamelle vient des Philippines. Tendre et croquante, elle assurera la saveur de vos plats.
