Kamala Harris coconut tree quote

Could we possibly add the meme/political slogan by democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris about falling out of a coconut tree in the "in culture" section? ApteryxRainWing (talk) 14:34, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think a well written sentence wouldn't hurt. I'm not sure it will be relevant in five years, but only the test of time will show that. Be BOLD and try your hand at including something! CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 16:40, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added a small section about it. What do you think?

In the “Uses” section, there is a small paragraph in the Coconut Milk subsection that states that Coconut Milk Powder is a “protein rich powder”. This is incorrect, as only specially processed coconut protein powder is high in protein. Recommend changing that paragraph to:

“Coconut milk powder is made from dehydrated coconut milk. The insoluble protein part of coconut milk can also be isolated into coconut protein powder, following centrifugation, separation, and spray drying.[137]” NorthernNeighbour (talk) 05:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
