Coconuts provide an excellent source of copper, manganese, and molybdenum.
They are also a good source of selenium and zinc. Similar to most other nuts,
coconuts contain a large amount of fat. Unlike other nuts, coconuts provide fat that
is almost all in the form of health-promoting medium-chain saturated fats instead of
long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
