Coconut

Most coconut trees do not have branches, but there are rare sports that appear now and then, which do. There is one that is a bit of a tourist attraction in Tonga

and i am told there is at least one other in Solomon Islands.

it doesn't really get there it just was there when it was descovered it can only grow in hot climates and its really hot there

The technical term is endosperm but usually it is referred to as coconut meat or flesh

Coconut trees grow widely in many tropical countries.

The purpose of such a scrapper is to relieve house wifes of much strain in scrapping the coconut manually. However itis sad to know that such a scapper is yet to be invented. Indeed many companies introduce in market so many juicers etc. However I dont know why no company has focussed on a thing like coconut scrapper which indeed will have a huge demand. ranjish 944251130 Check out www.thayabi.com. they've got a great electric coconut scraper. and a cool chakli maker. brett

The husk of a cocunut tree is hard to pull out because ,it is made up of scelerenchyma tissues which is ade of dead cells.Sclerenchyma gives rigidity and stiffness to the plant and also due to the presence of lignin on the walls of the cells we find it tough to pull the husk out.

Hope this helps! :)

It was Gronk, on one of his numerous trips looking for Y'eggs along the sea shore.

Somewhat like his accidental discovery of Y'eggs, coconuts were thought to be furry rocks until he kicked one against another "rock" and it started to ooze a clear liquid. Thinking it might have really been an animal and it was bleeding, he tasted this "blood" and found it to be sweet and very good. Wanting to get more he bashed the creature with a large stone and discovered the white substance inside. Again, sweet, tasty and a "meaty" consistency. Carrying the "critter" back to the camp, he proudly showed his discovery to Sheila his mate. Sheila had become accustomed to her mate's bizarre discoveries and quickly decided to try to use this with the Y'egg as an alternative to the popular wooly mammoth barbeque. Since the meaty substance held together fairly well, she picked it out of the fuzzy rock and mashed it into the Y'egg. This resulted in a yellowish paste and did not look particularly appetizing. Gronk figured out that raw Y'egg was the problem, so they got their "Yron" rock and heated it up. Once the paste was sizzling on the yron rock, it gave off an appealing odor and quickly became a hit around the camp fire. So it was that maccaroons were born. Thus, coconuts became known in the Tropics as "the other white meat". It was apparent that this meat did not especially have to be cooked which made it a popular new staple in the traveler's food supply. Gronk the chef had made another spectacular discovery. I'd heard you could ride coconuts.....

The latin name for cocoa is theobrama cacao, meaning food of the gods.

No, coconuts do not grow underground. They grow on palm trees, high up off the ground.

coconut is a fruit. It is grown on coconut tree.

1. Look the coconut over carefully. Do not pick one that has any leakage out of the three black eyes at the top. 2. Pick up the coconut with one hand. It should be fairly heavy for its size. 3. Heft the coconut up and down with your hand to see if you can feel the liquid (the coconut juice or water) sloshing around. 4. Compare coconuts for differences in weight and amount of liquid. If possible, try to find one that has been scored around the middle - this will make it easier to open.

If The Coconut is Opened And still has coconut milk.

That's like asking how much does a cup of flour weigh? It partly depends on how tightly packed it is. That being said:

Not packed or settled at all: 3.1 oz.

Lightly packed (by tapping the cup on the counter): 3.5 oz.

Firmly packed: 3.9 oz.

it takes about a month for to grow

it makes a sweet and sour smoothie that tastes like wood.

Coconut flesh from a mature (not green) coconut and water. These are mixed together then pressed and seived to get a liquid called coconut milk. If there is less water used then you get coconut cream.

The liquid inside a coconut is very differnent. That is coconut liquor which is sweet and fairly translucent compared to milk.

The best way is to hold the coconut in one hand and look for the natural seam that runs between the two eyes at the top. Using a large knife or cleaver use the back of the knife to tap firmly round the seam. You may have to do this a few times but in the end the coconut will split into two halves. You can then ease the coconut flesh out of the shell using a sharp knife and chop or grate ready for use.

A coconut tree isa monocot because the vascular bundles are scatteredthroughout stem. The stem is filled with moisture (water). It is a flowering plant because it produces a fruit.

When growing a Coconut it may take 3-6 months to sprout. Remember to give it lots of sunligt and water it frequently to help humidity if you live in a colder climate, and always keep the coconut in at least 70 degrees, if any colder take the coconut to a warm place or under a heated lamp.

No, there are too many banana eating pixies that live there. The pixies come from Southern Greenland and their taste buds love dem bananas. Anytime a poor farmer has tried to plant a banana tree, the pixies have come and devoured them all. These pixies are my favorite amimal along with Asian Buffalo and the American Panda. I plan to meet one after I get my offical pixie handling kit.

You should water one a little everyday. If it's raining, don't water it. If it gets too much water, it will die.

Because it is dispersal by water,so when it in the water,it floats so it does have a fibrous husk.My answer is not very good but for the rest who really want to know,the answer is it dispersal by water so it has fibrous husk,the fibrous husk inside keep water and i think there air so it can float.......thanks:)

A substitute for dried/dessicated shredded/flaked coconut will depend on the recipe. Most use it for flavour and texture.

In some recipes, rolled oats or wheatgerm could be the subsitute, but be aware that this will give a very different flavour, and is not suitable for some recipes. Coconut ice is very dependent on the texture and flavour of the coconut.

No - linseed oil
