vanz (empty coconut) Vanz is barren, so this must mean barren coconut tree (that does not yield fruit.
'One recent rage in countries like the Philippines is virgin coconut oil -- extracted from fresh coconut, not copra, by mechanical or natural means, with or without using heat. To protect the oil's essential properties chemical refining, bleaching or deodorizing is avoided. It is believed to be high in minerals and vitamins' - I do not know how far this is true - has any one compared the nutritional value of regular and 'virgin' ? Prior to extracting oil from 'copra' it is sun dried for a couple of days, and the oil practically oozes! 'lime made out of dried coconut leaves burn to ask' what does this mean?? Thanks Maurice D.
