Coconut

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.

If The Coconut is Opened And still has coconut milk.

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.

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

Palm oil is beneficial for health because it offers less fat and oil and helps in reducing cholesterol level if it is used in cooking in lieu of mustard oil, Vanaspati oil (where animal fats are used in manufacturing process).

The countries which produce coconut are Tobago,Nevis,Tanzania,Malaysia,Sri Lanka and Philippines

To grow a coconut tree, you first need a coconut. You can't use the small, round, brown thing you find at the grocery store though. You need to have the WHOLE coconut, with the husk intact. When selecting a coconut to grow, pick the healthiest looking one (no signs of rotting or mold), and make sure you can hear juice sloshing inside when you shake it. The coconut should have fallen from the tree on its own, and be a nice tan-brown color. (no green ones!) Before planting, soak the coconut in a bucket of water for 2-3 days.

You have to plant the coconut in a mixture of soil and sand (a 50-50 mixture should be fine). You should have it in a pot big enough that there is at least 1-3 inches between the coconut and the edge. Make sure to plant it pointy end down (the part that was once attached to the tree up). Bury it 2/3 of the way in the sand, so the top 1/3 is sticking out.

Water it regularly, and keep the soil nice and moist. BE SURE to have proper drainage, as you don't want to drown your coconut. Perhaps the most important thing, however, is temperature. Remember that coconuts are tropical plants and like it very warm. The soil temperatures MUST NOT drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit for any extended period of time. The optimal soil temperature is 72 degrees. If you are having trouble keeping it warm enough (like me, a CT dweller), you can get a string of tube Christmas lights from wal-mart (any color is fine) and wrap them around the pot . I have only done this in a thin plastic pot, and it worked wonders. If you have a thick ceramic pot, you may want to line the inside of the pot with the lights before adding soil . They give off plenty of heat and will warm the soil nicely. You can keep tabs on the temperature with a cheap soil thermometer, available at your garden center. If it seems too hot, you may want to remove some of the coils until the temperature reaches the 70's again. The air temperature should be above 70 at all times, but even up to 100 is OK. If you have an old incandescent desk lamp, you might want to set it up as a kind of heat lamp over your coconut.

Once it begins to grow (can take 1 month to as many as nine, with the average being 2-3) you want to be sure to mist it often. Coconuts LOVE humidity. You should also try and keep the seasons correct. During the cooler months, you should barely water it. This can lead to root rot. During the warmer summer months, feel free to water it as much as you please, as long as it's draining right.

It may be a while before you are hanging a hammock off your tree, but coconuts can make great indoor/outdoor plants if cared for properly.

In nature the coconut seeds travel in water inside the fruit. The fruit wall is so designed that its fibrous mesocarp adds to the buoyancy of the fruit and its endocarp is impervious to water. thus the fruit containing seed keep on floating for months togather and whenever it gets suitable conditions, the seed inside it germinates to produce a new coconut plant.

Coconut milk is white. Coconut water is clear and not often used for anything.

Coconuts are known to be tropical trees which are best grown in places where the climate is hot or what is known as the tropical regions. So, if you are someone living in the coolest temperatures and the weather is cold most of the time in the year, then planning to grow coconut in your home can be a bad idea. Because the reason is coconuts need sunlight and exposure to heat and cold climate can affect its growth very much and even kill it.

It can last two weeks or more in the refrigerator. It is important to refrigerate right away after opening this.

Yes!, of course!
