A traditional product available in my country is coir, which is mostly found in Kerala. It is actually a coconut fiber made from the extract of the coconut husk, and there is a wide variety of products you can make using this coconut fiber. It can be used for floor mats, mattresses, brushes, gloves, and more. It is made by extracting this fiber from the coconut husk, which is soaked in water for a certain period of time, and then it is extracted using machines. In ancient times, this process was done manually, but nowadays it is mechanized. After extraction, the fiber is used to make ropes, mattresses, and other products. When I was a kid, I saw that coir ropes were commonly used in day-to-day life, and coir mattresses were also widely used in my home. That was when I first tried this product. I like it because it is a natural material, making it less polluting. It is a renewable and biodegradable product, which adds to its appeal.
