Hainan traditional food background

The main ingredient is taken from coconut.

Hainan coconut rice takes fresh coconut as its staple food, which not only uses the meat ladle of coconut as a container, but also makes full use of the sweetness of coconut juice. In the production process, glutinous rice, sugar and other seasonings are filled into coconut. After cooking, the fragrance of coconut and the taste of glutinous rice are perfectly combined, forming the unique flavor of Hainan coconut rice.

This coconut-centered cooking method not only reflects the ingenious use of natural ingredients in Hainan, but also shows the unique charm of Hainan's food culture. Therefore, Hainan coconut rice is named after its unique production method and flavor, and has become one of the representatives of Hainan traditional cuisine.
