Fun Fact

Did you know that coconuts aren't nuts at all? They're actually classified as drupes, which means they're more closely related to fruits like peaches and plums than nuts like almonds or walnuts.

Historical Fact

During the Age of Exploration, European adventures sailed across oceans and stumbled upon coconut-filled lands. They were captivated by the exotic fruit, which they dubbed "coco" for its resemblance to a grinning face.
The concept of coconut pie evolved as European settlers mingled with tropical cultures, exchanging ingredients and techniques. Recipes adapted, blending local coconut delights with European baking traditions to create the creamy, coconut-infused pies we adore today. Coconut pie became not just a dessert but a symbol of hospitality and celebration in tropical cultures.
