Coconuts
The folks from The Perennial Plate visit a family-run coconut plantation in Sri Lanka, where we find out way more than we ever knew about coconuts. Every part of the tree is used, from the fronds to the alcoholic flower nectar. The coconuts are used in every way possible, too, for food, oil, rope, and even toys. -Thanks, Mirra!
