The history of Coir
and its association with the state of Kerala dates back to the 19 th
Century. Sandwiched between the
Western Ghats on the east and the
Arabian Sea on the
west, Kerala is one of the most beautiful States in India. A tropical
paradise of waving coconut palms and wide sandy beaches, this thin strip
of coastal territory slopes down from the mountain ghats in a cascade of
lush green vegetation and varied fauna. One of the most commonly seen
tropical trees in Kerala is the Coconut tree. In fact, even the name
Kerala (Kerlam in Malayalam) is derived from this tree (Kera in
Malayalam language means Coconut and
Alam means Land,
thus Keralam = Land of Coconut). Everything from Kerala's culture to its
dishes is evolved around the Coconut tree. |
