One of my favorite things about Emmy, is she doesn't have these crazy long ridiculous intros, and she doesn't start taking about all this other stuff that has nothing to do with what the video is about. She gets to the point and stays on topic
Im from México and we call that things “coconut apples”, but we don’t eat it when is too much grow, the “coconut apple” in the video is too big, we eat it when they are little “coconuts apples”, in a similar size of a ping pong ball, in that size are more sweet and soft, and if you put in the fridge with the coconut water is x1000 times better! Sorry for the bad english haha im a new student...
I'm Indonesian and i used to eat this when i was young . I called it "tumbuang" and this thing is much more sweet if it's not that big . It's sweet when the size is small *Sorry if my English is bad :)
You did a great job describing taste and texture. So many people say things like "oh, it's really sweet/good/nice" and that doesn't help with me imagining what they're experiencing. I guess it's kind of like avocado... It has a really unique taste that doesn't really match any other tastes.
I don't think so. I'm from the Caribbean and my hometown was actually around the shore. And just like any other kid raising on the beach I ate tons of coconut bread just for fun with my pals. It feels very different from avocado. This is similar to a fruit called "pan de árbol" (tree bread?) Wich has a very light but similar to bread texture. Avocados are just like butter and they do combine with many many other ingredients.
I sstil cannot believe that if you remove the coconut, the plant will just stop growing...really?? I thought the remaining stem was enough to keep it going.
@@nickde6339 At that point in its growth, the coconut part is the equivalent of its entire root/energy system. Think of it like a tree which has been cut down at it's base. You wouldn't expect that to keep going, would you?
Don't worry about it cause coconut are very easy to propagate in Asia and you can always see young coconuts in the bottom of the tree and is very good producer of fruits.. I'm not just saying this by research but I have observe it by my own eyes cause we a have a lot of those
Hi Emmy, You are such a Cutie- Pie! 😊 Anyway, I am an old Grandma and have learned a couple more things about coconuts that maybe You do or do not know. First of All, that fiber that You pulled off in the beginning and mentioned that it is sometimes used in compost and/or mulch. It is also used in a compressed and flattened to a sheet like fabric, then cut into a circle shape and used as the lining or covering of the bowl of hanging plant baskets sold in Garden shops. It is also sold the same way in the Garden Department of Discount Department Stores like Walmart and Shopko or K-Mart too. The second thing is: and I hope that You did not have an upset stomach after eating so much coconut meat. It is very fiberous and if a person eats too much, can get diarrhea. Anyway, this old Woman wanted to chime in with what I have learned about coconuts and eating them or using them to hang a plant or 2. Happy New Year to You and Your Family! 😊👍🏼🎩👑🍾🥂
@@dalainebloom4505, you're not; you're just being trolled. Ignore. Another trivia fact about coconut fibre is that not only does it make great fire kindling, but the smoke it produces acts as a powerful mosquito repellent. 🙂🌴🔥
Watching this video, reminds me of the my childhood. My dad would climb the coconut tree at our front yard, and will chevl each stem of coconut by knocking on one and somehow he will which stem is ready for picking. He'll cut the stem and I've watch each coconuts fell on the ground. Once he opens them up ill be the one collecting the juice put in a jug cooler and scraping the white soft flesh ( its semi young stage of coconut 😊) for eating later or making desserts. As for the old ones ( brown coconuts) I keep an eye on them,once i see the sprouts like 4- 5 inch high, ill break it open. the sprout inside is small but its crunchy and much sweeter and has more flavor, i preffer it than the huge size ones it feels like eating styrofoam 😊. Im sorry if my comment (story) is too long. I wish youll be able to experience eating coconut when its mid young. Specially the soft meat that is great for eating not the harden stage which is for milking. Thank You for all the great videos
I guess I've been eating coconut that's for milking my whole life! Hahaha I love it though. We don't get green coconuts in Ireland, only the brown ones with three holes.
I just wrote a comment that it reminds me of my 20's in Key West Fl. My husband and I used to take our baby for a walk in the stroller and pick up unwanted coconuts that fell to the ground to bring them home for a treat. I miss those days .
I always gets excited when my father used to open a matured coconut when he's still alive, caused Im always waiting for this and he called it "pandesal de bukid" or coconut bread and also Btw. Your coconut is way to matured, you should've have it when it still has water and there's still has a meat that can still used to have the coconut milk, in that way it will taste much more sweeter and moist. Lovelies from the Philippines
Alyssa S No... Floral Floam is more grainy like sand this sprouted coconut is more like a one of those fine styrofoams but taste like coconut but different feel. It also kinda melts in your mouth 🙂
lifeisablessing . I live in the carribean too but We don't eat it in my country and we certainly don't have a name for it. I see a lot around. I think I'll try it one day.
@@ricog8209 Try it, you might like it. Just don't eat it when the tree is this mature, it will have a very sour/tart taste by then....It's usually a lil sweet too...if you get a good one.

Emi Garica they sell fresh ones more commonly where they will cut it open for you and you can drink the water , the ripe ones like this are totally dried out and the dry coconut white part is grated / pasted and used in cooking 9 (because it’s too crunch to eat raw and the flavour is more strong for food)

I used to eat a lot of these when my grandma would make sticky coconut rice. My grandpa would gather coconut, from trees and fallen, to make coconut milk. A lot of the fallen coconuts has this(we call it tumbong where I lived in the Philippines). They are the best when the coconut is barely sprouting. They'll be smaller, but they will be filled with coconut juice. Really sprouted ones like what you opened are more airy and dry, but are still great!
Yes we call it tumbong too. My grandfather used to always give me that piece whenever we buy coconut from the wet market. Its like a reward inside a box.
@@eliwinx147 if you still feel some water in it thats the sign and also the tree is smaller not like in this video hope that answer the question oh btw we talk about the foam inside not the coconut
I love these! Back home in the islands we make a frozen treat version of this, using the sprout crushed, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. THen we freeze it and it becomes like an popsicle/ice cream dessert.
In Indonesia, we slice them and cook them into a curry. The sponge texture will absorbs all the coconut milk and spices really well. Add protein like chicken or prawns. All heads and feet or flippers. More bones = more good quality and yummy broth. Later you can scoop them out if you feel grossed with them. But the process needs them. Because of the umami
as a brazilian, I find the americans' fascination with coconuts quite funny. it's weird how one country/culture can take something for granted as some other country/culture find that exactly same thing exquisite, isn't it? great vid, Emmy! I've never tried that coconut foam before, but I'm used to drinking coconut water whenever I want. over here you can just buy a coconut down the street and walk around drinking it like it's no big deal, and it's not because it's a "natural electrolyte", it's just because... it's good. 😄
Jonathan Velasco Manzana de Coco... I LOVE THAT NAME. Sounds tasty. I’ve heard a lot of fruits with spices and lime is really good from some Hispanic classmates in college. They’ve also taken me out for Columbian food which was absolutely amazing so I trust them
A.M. R. lime and dried chili powder is specifically a Mexican thing. Sometimes other people from other Latin countries put salt on their fruit but that's about it.
Here in Cebu, Philippines we call it 'buwa'. It is truly my favorite, perfectly sweet and yummy. We have a coconut farm and we can eat it for free for almost everyday. Hopefully I can share this with you all. ❤
you and Bob Ross are my go to youtubers when I'm feeling anxious or sick, seriously it helps me so much edit: and here we can get old coconuts for free, because no one knows that they're still edible once sprouted. people just think they rot inside, which is great for the people who know better :D I've never tried it though, but I definitely should
That coconut is a bit too old That's why it don't have much flavor U got to get it when it still have a bit of water in it! At that point the water becomes very condense and sweet
It taste sweet bit of juice with foamy texture. Loved eating it as a child! Its more flavorful if you had one thats around 7 days younger. When the sprout that big starts appearing the taste diminishes drastically. Love from Philippines!
Interesting to see that Western countries are only now discovering sprouted coconuts.. we Indians eat it almost everyday (those live close to the coastline). In America, you can walk in into any Indian store and buy these by the dozens without the hefty costs plus shipping.. Indians also use the outside brown husk to make small brooms to scoop dirt around the house.. when we were growing up, we learnt in school that coconut is comprehensively useful - all parts of it have some function or another.. and nothing goes waste.. and the coconut itself is consumed across it's stages of maturity. Nature's love - Just so lovely!
this is actually very tasty! ever since my mom told me she eats this when she's young from the province, whenever we go to the market, i look for coconuts with small sprouts on top hoping for something inside. it's best when eaten fresh and cold like asklf hajsdas spongee
I dont care what anyone says about the expensive price tag, this may be the most interesting video I have ever seen regarding fruit and i MUST experience this at least one time. Its funny because the first bite you took i envisioned biting into an apple and that was your description. Yes I was very emotionally involved while you ate it!! Lol thank you for sharing:) 🧉
banana bread loaf Like the freshest coconut, light, clean, even the water tastes better than later when the jelly turns white and solid. The jelly is soft and slippery just fantastic. You can't get these in stores only right off the tree. You want bight green coconut and if I remember right you want the second bottom row or higher so it hasn't been hanging on the tree too long.
hdezines If you bought it at a store then it's already developed the firm, white flesh on the inside, it'll still be delirious because it's young. Once you remove the husk ( use extreme caution, I wouldn't recommend Emmy's way ), just use a flat bladed screw driver and push it into the husk then pry the husk off by using the screw driver like a pry bar. it takes time. Then take the cleaned nut and put it in the freezer for 3 - 6 hours. It may take longer, sometimes 12 hours, but I don't like freezing the coconut water. Remove from freezer and begin tapping the hard shell around the nut. Good solid taps * don't crack open the but just yet ) you'll hear the inside meat ( the white flesh ) break free from the shell. When you shake it and it makes a noise then take your hammer and smash the hard nut. You'll find a perfectly intact ball of coconut meat, then make a hole in it and drain out the water.
@@imallearsru thank you for all that coconut info! The one I bought is white on the outside, rounded on the bottom and more pointed on the top like it was shaved with a knife and its marketed with a label as young coconut and its covered in a plastic wrap. I know it won't he like this one, but I'm excited to try it. Maybe someday I can try it this way too.
Lol omg this brings so much memories! In the Philippines, i grew up eating this! Hahaha also i learned how to open coconut as a little kid. Huhu missing the islandss 😭😭😭 Btw the husk can also be used as a lampaso LOL like a natural floor shiner thingy hahha and the coconut shell can also be used as a “piggy bank”
At school we learned that the "coconut wool" (as they liked to call the fiber of the husk) is also being used as stuffing for car head rests. Seems to be very versatile. :)
ftlouim the coconut tree itself is very versatile from its leaves, to its fruits, to the tree itself. You can build houses, eat the fruit, drink its water, make milk, make bags and wrappers out of its leaves... and so many more. Thats why its calle the Tree of Life
This brought back so many memories from my childhood growing up in the Philippines! I haven't had this for years, but now I have a hankering for some! Thanks Emmy💖
I use to love this when I was a kid. Every time my dad come back from overseas work, he would bring this back with him and I will share this with my little brother.
Im from The Dominican Republic, we have coconuts everywhere here but I've never had one like that, didn't even know that was a thing, it's so interesting!!
I’m from DR as well, I tried this a couple of times and found it buried in the dirt after falling from the tree with the plant part sprout coming out from the dirt. Pretty yummy!
-When I was on the island of Palau, I asked when a coconut was ripe. I was told that a coconut is always and never ripe. It can be useful at all stages. One thing I found interesting was the meat we use for cooking or just snacking is what they used as chicken feed...yes, chicken feed.
Here on Guam we call it fåha'. It's basically the heart of the coconut. Its always a very nice surprise when my dad opens up the coconut and my siblings and I would fight over it lol. We called it the "cushion". 🤣 It's great! That's my childhood right there! 😊
when i was a FedEx employee marooned on an uninhabited island for 4 years in the South Pacific , i only ate the coconuts you are used to seeing in the super markets. this is new to me, a must try.
I love that as well!!! We have a coconut tree in our backyard and my dad would occasionally open up a few of these when we need coconut milk for cooking. He uses mature coconuts that haven't sprouted yet so that there'll be more meat that hasn't bean consumed by the "sponge" yet. There'll be a little sponge at the center when opened and we eat it as a snack while scraping out the meat. The scraped meat will then be squeeze out for milk. The shell will be used for gardening and other miscellaneous stuff. The husk will mainly be used for lighting fire for barbeque. When there's barbeque, a few young coconuts will also be opened so we can drink the juice. We scrape out the young meat to be mixed into a fruit salad for dessert. I just love coconut much!
Awesome! I just learned about these right now. Wow coconuts really are amazingly versatile, thanks for the great video! I love that light crunch sound 😊
This video makes me miss when I lived in Key West Fl. I used to go on walks with my husband with our baby in the stroller and would around our neighborhood pick up coconuts that fell to the ground and bring them home as a treat.
Who dislikes this video, it was very good IMO, we got a thorough description of the flavor, texture, smell, sound and everything, what more could you possibly want
This made me sad, I'm allergic to coconut and I really wanted to eat it again without having serious allergic reactions with it 😔 But I didn't disliked the video anyway

Seeing her crack open that coconut, thinking about her bee-keeping skills and general knowledge when it comes to cooking and food, *I oddly feel like Emmy would be very well-suited to survive an apocalypse...*
I loved this as a kid. It sounds like biting into an apple but it's like biting into a dry sponge that's lightly soaked into sweet coconut water. My favorite is when my grandma fries the white ("meat") part. It's like a coconut explosion!
😂😂😂... i always looks at those on some beaches in Puerto Rico and always wondered; can you still eat it like the way a potato start having little sprouts? Well then question solved lol.

YES! the information is totally correct I can confirm this since I live in Honduras (Central America) it is highly common to have coconut water as a refreshing drink along the northen coast especially. We grow big coconut plantations mostly for the extraction of oil, it is beautiful to see such plantations we also make cocnut bread delicious!

Rachel_Rebel_Makeup yes! Even just thinking about that makes my skin crawl lol!
Brittany Marie Eek!! 😬
When I heard that noise I knew exactly what she was doing. Very unique noise...
i hate the sound of styrofoam, it just urks me down to my spine
I love these! Back home in the islands we make a frozen treat version of this, using the sprout crushed, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. THen we freeze it and it becomes like an popsicle/ice cream dessert.
In Indonesia, we slice them and cook them into a curry. The sponge texture will absorbs all the coconut milk and spices really well. Add protein like chicken or prawns. All heads and feet or flippers. More bones = more good quality and yummy broth. Later you can scoop them out if you feel grossed with them. But the process needs them. Because of the umami
Sounds delicious!
Now I'm hungry!
Oh I love a good coconut curry
Namanya apa di indo???
Adrian Widjonarko the name is gulai umbut kelapa
as a brazilian, I find the americans' fascination with coconuts quite funny. it's weird how one country/culture can take something for granted as some other country/culture find that exactly same thing exquisite, isn't it?
great vid, Emmy! I've never tried that coconut foam before, but I'm used to drinking coconut water whenever I want. over here you can just buy a coconut down the street and walk around drinking it like it's no big deal, and it's not because it's a "natural electrolyte", it's just because... it's good. 😄
I enjoyed your comment. It's interesting to hear your perspective from another culture.
@@carolina-ex2kl I agree. Well said.
I'm from America and I like coconuts, but I've never heard of them referred to as natural electrolytes lol.
The coconut to you is like the is apple to us, - just a normal part of everyday life.
Same for me. I'm Jamaican and am always amused at Americans and Europeans when it comes to coconuts and mangos. Lol
I'm still trying to get over the appalling price of the sprouted coconut! 🤯
She got 4 for 40
Isn't she in the US, where it's not native except in the semi tropical areas?
That's so expensive 😭 here where I live ppl throw it away omg
@@jomsies closest coconut that isnt a rotted one In store is halfway across a continent for me 🤣
Just get a Ripe coconut and leave it outside to get dry...it will take some days but it will get dry or brown eventually
I'm imagining the texture is like the bagged astronaut food they have at stores
The smaller version of that has more flavor as compared to bigger ones.
Yes true
Omg yes
In Mexico we call it "Manzana de Coco" or "Coconut's Apple" and we eat it with lime and dried chilli for spice, of course.
Jonathan Velasco Manzana de Coco... I LOVE THAT NAME. Sounds tasty. I’ve heard a lot of fruits with spices and lime is really good from some Hispanic classmates in college. They’ve also taken me out for Columbian food which was absolutely amazing so I trust them
There were a few places in the San Diego area that made that stuff... the stuff was sooooo goood
More like "Coconut Apple", as in, apple made out of coconut
A.M. R. lime and dried chili powder is specifically a Mexican thing. Sometimes other people from other Latin countries put salt on their fruit but that's about it.
I like the "of course" at the end 😂 sounds amazing!
Here in Cebu, Philippines we call it 'buwa'. It is truly my favorite, perfectly sweet and yummy. We have a coconut farm and we can eat it for free for almost everyday. Hopefully I can share this with you all. ❤
Same we also call it buwa in Palawan
are u gonna upload a vid or what?
I’ve watched a few videos of Emmys fruity fruit series and I must say, it’s really cool. I especially like how Emmy does research on the subjects.
I like how positive Emmy is. I’ve only ever heard how much of a hassle it is to open a coconut but she said it was a joy! Emmy YOU are the joy ❤️❤️
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Save the fibers for when you need to light up you charcoal when barbecuing
3:27 she was imagining SOMETHING while cutting
Lol
Her voice is calming, and uplifting lol ❤
you and Bob Ross are my go to youtubers when I'm feeling anxious or sick, seriously it helps me so much
edit: and here we can get old coconuts for free, because no one knows that they're still edible once sprouted. people just think they rot inside, which is great for the people who know better :D I've never tried it though, but I definitely should
What country?
@@sarahali8795 ur mom
@JESUS is Real Nah.
That coconut is a bit too old
That's why it don't have much flavor
U got to get it when it still have a bit of water in it!
At that point the water becomes very condense and sweet
true
Trini?

Me in the UK: yyyeeeaaahhh I'll never be able to find one😂
Yup 😹 but living in SEA as a child loved them so much!
Porosity, gosh, I just can't get over how well you describe things! You're a foodie's dream! I love your videos!
My family have like more than 20 sprouted coconuts 🥥 laying on the yard, we didn’t know that has still edible things in the inside.
You should do something with it, don’t let it go to waste
Or that you could sell them for 40 dollars each!
Luckyyy
I have a palm tree in my yard buh idk if it gives coconuts in the summer.
Can I have one pls I want to try it but I don’t have $40
It taste sweet bit of juice with foamy texture. Loved eating it as a child! Its more flavorful if you had one thats around 7 days younger. When the sprout that big starts appearing the taste diminishes drastically. Love from Philippines!
John Wick trueee! It’s like my fave snack when I was a kid!
Same as me!
I absolutely love this stuff, when I first ate this, i was crazy obsessed
Your explanations of things and descriptions of tastes are so eloquent! I love learning from you
Interesting to see that Western countries are only now discovering sprouted coconuts.. we Indians eat it almost everyday (those live close to the coastline). In America, you can walk in into any Indian store and buy these by the dozens without the hefty costs plus shipping.. Indians also use the outside brown husk to make small brooms to scoop dirt around the house.. when we were growing up, we learnt in school that coconut is comprehensively useful - all parts of it have some function or another.. and nothing goes waste.. and the coconut itself is consumed across it's stages of maturity. Nature's love - Just so lovely!
Thanks for all the interesting info. I love hearing about things like this where every bit is used. Fascinating!
Same for toilets ....Indians just discovered it while Western countries have been using for a few centuries now
Stereotype
@@selfhealing1047 wow such an ignorant comment, well am 26 years old indian and have used a toilet my whole life
@@ishabhambri
Ignorant comment or true statement?
You know you are a very small percentage in your country using toilets for taking dump?
The "foam" tastes better before the sprout grow, it tastes sweeter, firmer, and juicier you can find it in an old dry coconut
Nuhan Hidayat isn’t it called Faha?
Yes we eat it as the yellow starts to appear in the eye its amazing
Question: Do you not bury it in order to sprout it? Do you soak the coconut or what? Thank you.
Explain the process please.. i must try this 🤔
@@rockwitu96 actually we don't have the exact name of that thing in my country 😅
this is actually very tasty! ever since my mom told me she eats this when she's young from the province, whenever we go to the market, i look for coconuts with small sprouts on top hoping for something inside. it's best when eaten fresh and cold like asklf hajsdas spongee
I dont care what anyone says about the expensive price tag, this may be the most interesting video I have ever seen regarding fruit and i MUST experience this at least one time. Its funny because the first bite you took i envisioned biting into an apple and that was your description. Yes I was very emotionally involved while you ate it!! Lol thank you for sharing:) 🧉
The coconut sounded like it was screaming when she cut it up
helen Wang lol reminded me of roger rabbit when the toons were getting dipped.
Wow I thought I was crazy for having that thought 😂😂
Lmaoooo I thought the same exact thing!!!!
Plants have feelings too 🥺🥺🥺
😑
My favourite time to eat a coconut is when it's very young, before the white meat has formed and it's still a clear gelatin. Absolutely the best.
banana bread loaf Like the freshest coconut, light, clean, even the water tastes better than later when the jelly turns white and solid. The jelly is soft and slippery just fantastic. You can't get these in stores only right off the tree. You want bight green coconut and if I remember right you want the second bottom row or higher so it hasn't been hanging on the tree too long.
I just bought a young coconut today for the first time. Any suggestions for eating it or opening it to get the best experience?
hdezines If you bought it at a store then it's already developed the firm, white flesh on the inside, it'll still be delirious because it's young. Once you remove the husk ( use extreme caution, I wouldn't recommend Emmy's way ), just use a flat bladed screw driver and push it into the husk then pry the husk off by using the screw driver like a pry bar. it takes time. Then take the cleaned nut and put it in the freezer for 3 - 6 hours. It may take longer, sometimes 12 hours, but I don't like freezing the coconut water.
Remove from freezer and begin tapping the hard shell around the nut. Good solid taps * don't crack open the but just yet ) you'll hear the inside meat ( the white flesh ) break free from the shell. When you shake it and it makes a noise then take your hammer and smash the hard nut. You'll find a perfectly intact ball of coconut meat, then make a hole in it and drain out the water.
@@imallearsru thank you for all that coconut info! The one I bought is white on the outside, rounded on the bottom and more pointed on the top like it was shaved with a knife and its marketed with a label as young coconut and its covered in a plastic wrap. I know it won't he like this one, but I'm excited to try it. Maybe someday I can try it this way too.
Yes!! So delicious!!
This was amazing, thank you for showing many of us something so new and unusual Emmy!
@6:04 The way Emmy's face lights up when she hears the crunch of the coconut meat.. 😁 that is 1 of the reasons why I love watching her! Pure gold! 🙌
In Samoa, we call this o’o. Also, coconut water tastes sweeter in mature coconuts 😍

Mike Morton Identity v nice you play Identity V too
Lol omg this brings so much memories! In the Philippines, i grew up eating this! Hahaha also i learned how to open coconut as a little kid. Huhu missing the islandss 😭😭😭
Btw the husk can also be used as a lampaso LOL like a natural floor shiner thingy hahha and the coconut shell can also be used as a “piggy bank”
At school we learned that the "coconut wool" (as they liked to call the fiber of the husk) is also being used as stuffing for car head rests. Seems to be very versatile. :)
ftlouim the coconut tree itself is very versatile from its leaves, to its fruits, to the tree itself. You can build houses, eat the fruit, drink its water, make milk, make bags and wrappers out of its leaves... and so many more. Thats why its calle the Tree of Life
Same! I grew up in Bali, but even if I still living here, it's difficult to find it. My last was 15years ago
It's a coco fruit from the coco tree from the coco palm family!
Right? When she started hacking at the outer shell and peeling the fibers off, I'm like "where have I seen this before?"
This brought back so many memories from my childhood growing up in the Philippines! I haven't had this for years, but now I have a hankering for some! Thanks Emmy💖
I use to love this when I was a kid. Every time my dad come back from overseas work, he would bring this back with him and I will share this with my little brother.
I love people who are so happy and positive!
Jiki
Im from The Dominican Republic, we have coconuts everywhere here but I've never had one like that, didn't even know that was a thing, it's so interesting!!
You should start doing it and make it a thing lol
@@cherpylatina good idea, I'll see how I can sprout a coconut!!
I’m from DR as well, I tried this a couple of times and found it buried in the dirt after falling from the tree with the plant part sprout coming out from the dirt. Pretty yummy!
@@yarimartinez1245Aaaah that's awesome!!!
Yari Martinez when I was little I used to eat that with my cousin, but a smaller version.
She gives the best descriptions of food!💪🏾❤️
-When I was on the island of Palau, I asked when a coconut was ripe. I was told that a coconut is always and never ripe. It can be useful at all stages. One thing I found interesting was the meat we use for cooking or just snacking is what they used as chicken feed...yes, chicken feed.
*Awwww, where's the fruity fruits song???*
I am heartbroken.
I know right!
Ikr I was looking forward to sing that D: D: D:
Oh...:(
@@furbyfurbs it's such a cute song how could you not want to sing it.
Here on Guam we call it fåha'. It's basically the heart of the coconut. Its always a very nice surprise when my dad opens up the coconut and my siblings and I would fight over it lol. We called it the "cushion". 🤣
It's great! That's my childhood right there! 😊
I was gonna comment this until I saw you're comment, lol. Hafa Adai 🤙
Håfa Adai! 😁
I'm from Saipan. We used to love this too!
When we're younger my cousins and I would go crazy over that! The texture is so spongey and and it taste so good!!!! 💖
Emmy, you are incredible at describing things. I can imagine what the texture is like now.
when i was a FedEx employee marooned on an uninhabited island for 4 years in the South Pacific , i only ate the coconuts you are used to seeing in the super markets. this is new to me, a must try.
I feel like this was an attempt at a Castaway joke but it was a little clunky, nice try though 👍
I see what you did there😉
Brilliant
😂😂😂
WILSON!!
I love that as well!!! We have a coconut tree in our backyard and my dad would occasionally open up a few of these when we need coconut milk for cooking. He uses mature coconuts that haven't sprouted yet so that there'll be more meat that hasn't bean consumed by the "sponge" yet. There'll be a little sponge at the center when opened and we eat it as a snack while scraping out the meat. The scraped meat will then be squeeze out for milk. The shell will be used for gardening and other miscellaneous stuff. The husk will mainly be used for lighting fire for barbeque. When there's barbeque, a few young coconuts will also be opened so we can drink the juice. We scrape out the young meat to be mixed into a fruit salad for dessert. I just love coconut much!
What a perfect explanation to this beautiful coconut flower, i can never explain its taste to someone it is something beyond world for me.
Awesome! I just learned about these right now. Wow coconuts really are amazingly versatile, thanks for the great video! I love that light crunch sound 😊
Fruity fruity fruity frooty froooty frooot. Frooty frooty frooooouuuuuut!
Never knew coconuts did this lol. Thanks for sharing!
Same. I learned something today. :)

@@jahangirhossain2643 not everyone knows about coconut bread so stop being so goddamn condescending
Any fruit will sprout after a while. That's what they do... They are the seed (or seed vessel) that is, of they dont rot first
@pisces I live in the mountains. Snowy ones. Tropical fruits don't really flourish here lol.
I grew up eating this on the island of Saipan. Love coconuts!
This video makes me miss when I lived in Key West Fl. I used to go on walks with my husband with our baby in the stroller and would around our neighborhood pick up coconuts that fell to the ground and bring them home as a treat.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Who dislikes this video, it was very good IMO, we got a thorough description of the flavor, texture, smell, sound and everything, what more could you possibly want
She really is the best at descriptions!
This made me sad, I'm allergic to coconut and I really wanted to eat it again without having serious allergic reactions with it 😔
But I didn't disliked the video anyway
A great memory of mine, is eating this fruit with my grandfather in the Philippines. Thank you for reminding me this memory.

Growing up on the Polynesian Islands, when we were kids, finding this inside a coconut was like a surprise treat
Seeing her crack open that coconut, thinking about her bee-keeping skills and general knowledge when it comes to cooking and food, *I oddly feel like Emmy would be very well-suited to survive an apocalypse...*
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I loved this as a kid. It sounds like biting into an apple but it's like biting into a dry sponge that's lightly soaked into sweet coconut water.
My favorite is when my grandma fries the white ("meat") part. It's like a coconut explosion!
It’s so cool reading the comments of people from around the world sharing stories of them eating these from their back yards
That fibre would probably make good fire starter
Yes, it can also be used as fire starer.
When we make bonfires we use it a lot for that reason. (Hi from fiji btw)
Yes. Works better when dry.
Yes. We use it here like that

I love it. They taste so sweet and juicy and the texture is somewhere between spongy and succulent.
Coconuts and plantains are the gifts that keep on giving.
Absolutely interesting. I love watching husking the coconut part. Little worried when you were using the knife to make a wedge.
My neighbor makes this part look so easy with her machete. She is 90!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
YES! the information is totally correct I can confirm this since I live in Honduras (Central America) it is highly common to have coconut water as a refreshing drink along the northen coast especially. We grow big coconut plantations mostly for the extraction of oil, it is beautiful to see such plantations we also make cocnut bread delicious!
