The coconut has become the unmissable naturality star in food and cosmetics departments. Previously used mainly in its pure form, it is now being reinvented in a range of textures and its taste is mixed with that of other fruit. It sometimes plays a role of an excellent substitute, successively inventing itself as water, milk, butter or oil, and brings a welcome twist to entire product categories.

But other, more unusual nuts are also emerging, such as the Brazil nut and the tigernut. What nut’s next?
