World Coconut Day Special: Homemade Bounty Bars!

By Likita Gowda

Today is World Coconut day! Yes, that’s right. September 2nd is when the world celebrates coconuts for all the awesomeness that they are. The reason why it is celebrated on this particular day is because 2nd September is when the Asian Pacific Coconut Community (APCC) was formed. The headquarters of APCC is located in Jakarta, Indonesia and all major coconut growing countries including India are members of the community. 

Now let’s get back to the star of the day - coconut!
