The Cape Verde region (1499 to 1549); the key to coconut culture in the Western hemisphere

The Cape Verde region (1499 to 1549); the key to coconut culture in the Western hemisphere

The most likely sites for the introduction of the coconut to the Atlantic seaboard are the island of Saniago, in the Cape Verde group, or the island of Gorée, to the southeast of the Cape Verde peninsula. The earliest possible date for an introduction was 1499 and the probable source of seed was Moz...
