The bitter soapiness is because that's not fresh and has started to go rancid. It's too mature. Usually when we eat sprouted coconuts in SE Asia, it's from coconuts that are only showing a tiny bud from the coconut shell. Not a full-grown seedling.

It's actually funny considering that cats just yell random stuff at you. It kinda sounds right.

When you get the husk off before you crack the inside nut, first, take it to the sink and rinse off the dirt. Next, find the 3 eyes. Press into them with a thumbnail. 2 will be very hard, one will be soft, your nail will poke into it a bit. Use a clean screwdriver or tip of a fruit peeler, poke a hole and open that eye, then you can drain the liquid into a cup or bowl. THEN crack open the shell. Your inner coconut ball will stay cleaner, lots less mess, and you get to drink the yummy coconut milk. Great description, I have not had the chance to eat a sprouted coconut yet, but I've gotten pretty good at opening the grocery store ones.

@CapnAhab89

4 жыл бұрын

Great advice! Definitely use the “monkey face” to drain the coconut water first. Another good tip: when you get the inside nut out and cleaned up, the best way to crack it is to tap it firmly in a ring around the center of the coconut. This can take a few minutes but if you repeatedly tap along that same ring it’ll create a crack and it will eventually open up into two even halves. It creates less mess, is less frustrating, and nicer than breaking it into random sized pieces.

@Dugar-III

Wrong buddy...that soft eye you are looking for is where the sprout came out from. No need to use a screw driver, hold the husked coconut in your hand with the sprout to the left and bottom part to your right, then use the blunt part of the machete or heavy cleaver to hit right in between the sprout and bottom. Hit n rotate amd hit again. By the third hit you would have cracked the coconut in half.

You should get a younger sprouted coconut with the shoot just trying to poke out of the husk. The shoots are soft and edible at that stage. Also coconuts that are not green are good for another thing - fresh coconut milk. Vendors hold the outside of the shell and grate the meaty insides with a machine, and then press the milk out of the grated meat. These are not for drinking, but for cooking. People have already figured out that the tough meat is good for other things with a bit of processing. ;) Coconut truly is a tree of a thousand uses!

Look at how a bean or grain sprouts. You will see that both the leaf stem and roots come from the germ. The germ contains the instructions for starting the process of germination. The endosperm contains primarily the energy source, usually packed as starches and carbohydrates. Enjoyed the video!

I am so thrilled that you reviewed this! I first found out about the sprouted coconut from Sweet Natural Livings channel and have wanted to try one ever since! Since you aren't a fruitarian and had the same,reaction it makes me realllllly want to try it now! Thanks for your always awesome content 💗

My heart melts seeing one of our childhood snack. It's spongy and depends on the age of the cocount, the taste varies. Use it when younger and it makes a little difference. Also, the heart Is delicious- heart of palm. ( Any palm)..it's at roadside on Guyana. A regular dry coconut sprouts. You need a Guyana machete.

I grew up in Key West drinking coconut water and eating the white flesh all the time from the trees that grew in our yard. NEVER in my life did I know a sprouted coconut was a thing to eat. I feel compelled to try one now. We just never let it get to that stage. The white flesh is just so dang delicious to let it go into this sprouted stage. Never seen or heard of anyone eating a sprouted coconut.

That yellowish coconut inside is my most favorite. When I was young I craved for these and my mom and sister would go get them free from the coconut flesh seller who bundled up whole bag of tiny little ones. The tinier they are the more flavorful and mealy. That one you have is too big already and has become mild in taste with lots of coconut juice inside. I think they are called sprouts or coconut flower.

I LOVE COCONUT! My favorite of all Flavours! Thanks for the Video! Your Cat is beautiful! I have two. Ming Ming and Midnight Star. Both Females. They were Strays my Daughter and Granbabies found and they stayed. 🙂😸😸 If I were you, I'd plant one and try to grow a Coconut Tree in my House! 👍

if you sprout a Reticulated Coconut, the inside of the coconut will be filled with a delicious, sweet rich and coconutty gel. Almost like a custard.

Thanks for the video and especially for the link to the seller! I've been wanting to try these for years. I guess they call it Kings Bread in Hawaii. I tried to find some in Florida about six months ago but none of the fruit stand employees knew what I was talking about.

The "bonus flavours" are probably from the dirt you left on it.

The sprout (leafy part) can be eaten too, peel the hard and fiber green outer, then you can eat the soft and crunchy white part inside. It’s really good, I prefer the young sprout more than the spongy part. Love from Vietnam

For anyone wondering. The texture is kind of like eating a couch cushion. Also sometimes when you open a sprouted coconut the core isn't fully formed and the smell rancid.

There are three small indentations in one end of the coconut that you need to use a hammer and an ice pick to poke through those indents to the inside of the coconut so you can catch the coconut water. We used to drink it as kids and then Dad would take the hammer and crack it open to reach the meat. Many people don't know this can be done.

had this a many years ago in Queensland when i was a lad. camping right near a beach, some big burly islander blokes (i think they were tongan) came down n started diggin a hole and setting up a hungi-style thing. hole with a fire that you put meat in and bury to cook. Turns out they were prepping for a wedding. I was playing with their kids (i was about 12 at the time), n they showed me sprouted coconut. they called it coconut marshmellow. be warned if your foraging for them, some go bad, really rancid. keep looking tho, cos its worth it. I recall it being less crisp, more stringy, somewhere between wet cotton balls, cotton candy and marshmellow. but coconut flavored. i guess the exact stage of the plant has alot to do with it. we wernt invited to the actual ceremony, which was really small, just the couple their parents and siblings. but the party! massive, heaps of people, heaps of food, all of it excellent. music, dancing, bonfire, was a great time. really cool people. tongan wedding 5/5

I liked the cat's meow :) Very interesting, it's the first time I have seen a sprouted coconut. Thank you for sharing.

It’s like a delicious tropical snowball… 😋

You can try this with palm trees also. After you eat the pulp of the palm fruit(also called taal in Bengali, India), bury the seed in soil. Dig em up after 2/3 months and enjoy. They are called Taler phopa and tastes kinda spongy and sweet! Quite similar to sprouted coconut. Also if you can, if a coconut tree gets cut near you ar if you can get hold of them. Do eat the top(the bud) of the tree. It nutty and pretty tasty. I tried it only once when the tree in our backyard was chopped of. It's great!

I LOVE coconut pulps. I eat it all the time and if the pulp is small, the coconut water or juice is most likely sweet.

I love your KZread channel i watch it at 3am every day to fall asleep

Sprouted coconut is a rare treasure.❤️

It's crispier and sweeter when the sprout is not too big yet. I used to eat them with my cousins when we were little.

It looks like the type of food that tastes better with every bite.

In India, if we don't have a sickle to dehusk the coconut, a sturdy screwdriver is usually a good substitute. Stab, lever out a bit of the husk, and pull it out with hands. Never a regular knife, because it can't take bending strain.

Just wanted to mention people in India eat the inside of Asian Palmyra palm seeds after they have sprouted. The texture and lightness is probably the same. It's light fluffy and sweet. Also the fruit pulp of the fruit is used to make rice cake (If you ever decide to try one don't eat the fibres).

hey the bulb is good for salads shred it and pour some peanut dressing "delish!" hi from the Philippines

hi there again. I'm from Trinidad. The part of the sprouted Coconut you ate is actually the Cotyledon that the new sprout feeds on to grow into a Coconut tree, an locally, we call it the Bread of the Coconut. It's rich in vitamins and boost energy and immune system. The Coconut Meat or hard white jelly is also very valuable. Wanted to see you taste that too. It can be chipped and blended in water to drink the milk or use to cook a curry chicken, yep and heard you're vegetarian, so you can cook the breadfruit with the Coconut milk, or the Chattine or filter the solids from the milk and place in the refrigerator for about an hour and you can make virgin coconut oil or the cooked one. or coconut ice cream with the milk, or Indian sweets like kurma, Gullajamun, barfi, or Ladu or an African sweet called Tulum made with finely grated coconut and molasses. the grated or minced meat of the Coconut can be used for making Sugar cakes, flour, Pastries, body scrub, etc... the husk/Fiber Is used as pot scrub, used to plant orchids and antorium flowers and mushrooms. It can be used to make rope and fibres to make thick texture fabric. the black hard shell inside that holds the water before it turns into jelly, most popular use is cutting in half to make a brazier for a woman to wear, artist sculp it in many ways like the Calabash to make bags, instruments, jewelry, table cutlery and cups or bowls, etc... etc... Would of liked to see that you Weave the Coconut sprout into something artistic and put to dry as an ornament... First thing when you opened the box, I noticed that the sprouted coconuts are all spoiled already, I'm sure the Bread was rancid in taste, But you didn't have a "machetie" to husk it, yes the sprout might still grow even though you pulled it out destroying most of the roots. Maybe if you can't find the Passion Fruit or Bird Peppers, or Jamun, or Portugal Limes wherever you are, I will find out tomorrow from local Fed Ex the procedure to mail them to you. Message me on Facebook, Anderson Bridgelal or comment if you're interested. good luck in your next Fruit of choice to sample, and remember to research them before doing the video. blessings

Thanks for sharing that information. These weren't rancid and tasted great as they were.

we used to feed this to our pigs those kind of big ones when we open coconuts for coconut milk. You can definitely eat it though. You should find a coconut that has a smaller sprout. It will give you a smaller meat inside but it's way sweeter at crunchier.

I paused the video thinking my cat was meowing, then restarted and you said sorry about the cat. lol

lol I thought the roots looked normal! the seed is what was in the husk, so the roots come out and stay sheathed by the husk, which they'll then break free of and grow to rip it all away! So cool, like a giant sunflower seed

coconut sprout, i used to eat them a lot when i was a kid. Sweet and Spongy coconut sprout. Me and my mom would only eat them that way or not too aged when the flesh is like a custard

It’s called coconut apple in Costa Rica. Tried it on the island of Roatán years ago as a kid! Very spongy!

They sell these as plants at many garden centers for about $20. May have to grab a variety box through Miami Fruit, though. Difficult to find a lot of the stuff you show off here in the Midwest!

Its very tasty and we do make palm fruits germinate and eat the kernel in similar pattern. Its sweeter than coconut one. If possible try the coconut stem. Its something which gets extracted from the bottom part of a fallen tree and tastes very nice.

Best way to explain the flavor... Les Stroud (AKA Survivorman) hates coconut but loves coconut solid.

That was so epic how the root went down the side of the coconut 5:13

Coconut bread 🍞 that’s is what we call that super sweet when you get it at the right time.

Haha you're lucky I had to cut the end off to make the end cards work, so that bit is gone now.

It's 1 am. Why am I watching your videos at 1 am? I know exactly what the sprouted coconut tastes like. I've eaten like a million of em, they're pretty common where I'm from. For some reason, I've decided to let go of sleep and binge on your videos.. 😂

i LOVE sproutet coconut, its soo good, its like a natural hard nutty coconut cotton candy

Your pic looked like a hair on my screen, so trying to get it off blew on it and it wouldn't move😂😂

Interesting video as always. Have you tried the Macapuno, also called Kopyor or Coconut Sport? It is a mutation that causes some coconut fruits to have a gelatinous flesh and a different flavor.

I haven't! I've seen photos though and thought that sprouted coconut was the same thing, hence my surprise when I opened this one. :)

Macapuno is also used to make ice cream! It’s really interesting and much different than normal coconut ice cream.

that miami fruit page is everything i've ever dreamed off

It is delicious light soft sweet fluffy. Just peel off the outer shell. It is very cheap and almost always available in Bangladesh. Great fruit. Thanks for the video.

Running on weird, fruit review!

I think the word you're looking for that "rough flavor" was "earthy" atleast that's what I'm deciphering from your description.. I've never eaten one, I should though.. I've always wanted to get one and grow the tree after

Not exactly earthy.. but close. Its hard to describe. There are a lot of little tiny flavors in these. Kind of like how a raspberry you forage in the woods may taste a bit rough compared to one you buy at a store. Not bad, but more complex.
