Why does coconut water spoil easily?
Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 45 degrees and Below 145 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.
When cooking can coconut milk be substituted by coconut cream?
I'm sure you could, as it would act the same as milk. However, you probably want to cut the amount or thin the coconut milk a bit, as it's so much richer.
Be careful. Milk contains fats that may be necessary for some recipes to work. It also contains proteins that react with eggs, flours, etc. Coconut milk and creme de coconut are entirely different food products and won't react chemically the same way. If all you needed the milk for originally was moisture then the substitution may be fine. I'd experiment first when it didn't matter if it fails.
Also, if using coconut milk to a savory recipe, add it as close to the end, and try not to boil -- to prevent curdling.

What is the significance of coconut in Hinduism?
To understand why Hindus break coconuts in temples we must know about the Semi voluntary force.
The default force of human beings:
The default force human beings use for thinking and acting is the status quo maintaining Semi voluntary force. In Hinduism this force is symbolized by water. This force maintains status quo because it is limited by a positive and a negative attitude.
Limitations of the Semi voluntary force:
While normally the Semi voluntary force is our bunker, it becomes a liability when we want to deal with a great change. This is because the Semi voluntary force is a medium sized force.
The mighty Involuntary force:
When we some how cross our attitudes we can use our mighty Involuntary force, which is big enough to deal with change of any magnitude.
Drawbacks of Involuntary force:
1. The Involuntary force is not under our control and may lead to disasters.
2. It may change our life in such a way that there is temporary improvement and then total disaster. This kind of pseudo success is symbolized in Hinduism by Demons.
3. It may change our life so completely that we may discard our previous simple life completely.
The coconut:
The coconut symbolizes the semi voluntary force. Its hard shell symbolizes the attitudes. The water inside represents the flexible Semi voluntary force.
Breaking of coconut:
Breaking of coconut symbolizes crossing of our attitudes and coming under the control of the mighty and uncontrollable Involuntary force. We consider the water inside as sacred because it symbolically represents our only link and control to the mighty uncontrollable Involuntary force.

One of the most common practices as we all know is offering breaking and offering coconuts to the deity, and this is very commonly performed before any new endeavor like festivals, weddings, use of new car etc. Once the coconuts are used in various rituals, it is then distributed as Prasadam to the devotees. Sometimes the water inside the coconut is used during the Abhisekam process and is believed to grant spiritual growth to the seeker.
The shape of the coconut resembles a head of a human, and the shattering of the coconut denotes breaking of the ego. The soft layer inside the coconut is related to the inner tendencies of the mind.
The three marks on the fruit are believed to represent the three eyes of God Shiva. Another belief is that these markings represent the past, present and future. The coconut markings are considered auspicious and is said to be used as a mean to fulfill the devotee's desires and wishes.

How many people have died from falling coconuts?
According to the National Association of Jamaican and Supportive Organizations in Kingston, their statistical datas shows that approximately 550 persons are killed in tropical locals by falling coconuts each year. This has caused a new ordinance in most island communities to require coconut tree owners to harvest their coconuts where the trees are over 5 years maturity at least 3 times per year and where the cocunuts are within one month of maturity (where they are more likely to drop from the tree).

How many flowers produce a coconut tree in a year?
A coconut tree can produce thousands of flowers each year, with estimates ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 flowers. However, not all flowers develop into coconuts; typically, only a fraction of them—around 10 to 20%—will successfully pollinate and mature into fruit. The exact number can vary based on factors such as tree health, environmental conditions, and cultivation practices.
How do you make coconut shell charcoal?
Answer 1: heat it in a metal container, till it stops smoking, and turns black,
or set it on fire and let it burn for a while.
Answer 2: I guess you seek a cheap way to make active carbon. At least I tried to answer that question for myself. I found out: Carbonization of coconut shell is an industrial process, don't try this at home. All kinds of poisons are created burning the coconut shell in the wrong way. You don't want plain ash, it has to be carbonized, not burned, but then there's a danger you inhale CO gas. When the active coal is used for filtering you better be sure there is no poison residue, my guess is you can't.
