“Eat coconut, plantain, and breadfruit. The coconut will become polyunsaturated, and the plantain and breadfruit will become more edible.”

“Take coconut milk, pine nuts, and dates together. The tallest fruit-producing trees and palm trees and coconut trees offer the highest protein breakfast.”

“‘Germs may prove of great importance to industry in the future. A recent report to the American Chemical Society from J.W. Beckman, of Oakland, Calif., states that the microbe Bacillus delbrueckia can make coconut oil less expensively and more efficiently than man-directed processes now used. The bacillus, it is claimed, can bore into the heart of the coconut substance and unlock the millions of little oil globules from their cells.

“Coconut oil is obtained from copra, the dried pulp of the nut which is obtained in great quantities from the South Sea Islands. To produce the oil, copra is heated or treated to make the walls of the oil cells brittle. Then the oil is squeezed out in powerful presses. But this process is expensive and unsatisfactory.

“The delbrueckia germs, it is said, can eat away the cell walls of untreated coconut pulp, set free the oil, and convert the wall substance into chemicals like those of meat. The pulp that remains is said to be good for cattle food.”
