Now, what is this all about?
Basically, I was trying to look for a video clip on Youtube on how to open a young coconut today (29th December 2009) and I came across a few interesting and rather useful videos for both knowledge and listening practice.
First, this is a little more on how to open a coconut in a quick and easy way.
After watching it, it leaves me wondering how I can open one if I don't have a sharp knife. The next video is how a guy got his idea of founding his million dollar business through an odd opportunity.
Interesting Facts about Coconut:
- The tree of coconuts is called Coconut Palm.
- The husk covers the shell and in turns covers the meat and water.
- The coconut palm thrives on sandy soils and is highly tolerant of salinity (saltiness).
- Coconut palms require warm conditions for successful growth, and are intolerant of cold weather.
- The Philippines, Indonesia and India are the top 3 coconut producers on the world.
- Young coconuts used for coconut water are called tender coconuts.
- Depending on its size a tender contains 300 to 1,000 ml of coconut water.
- Coconut meat contains less sugar and more protein than popular fruits such as bananas, apples and oranges, and it is relatively high in minerals such as iron, phosphorus and zinc.
