To provide a brief description of the early use of coconuts, we can say that it's interesting to know that during the 16th century, Portuguese traders were importing coconut fruits to Western Europe from Africa and India, and these exotic products became highly popular and valued for their therapeutic properties. At times, the highly processed coconuts were transformed into cups and showcased as luxurious items in the cabinets of curiosities or "wunderkammer" belonging to renowned merchants or influential individuals.
