Raw Coconut Water Under Microscope

[abhikghosh]

Coconut water is mainly a free nuclear endosperm, it means it contains several nuclei, it's a syncytium, you have probably seen a bundle of nuclei.

The process of drilling the coconut can also introduce bacteria to the water too

The liquid inside a coconut is called the liquid endosperm. It's formed by the fusion of multiple cells without dividing, resulting in a large cell with many nuclei. This allows for efficient storage and transport of nutrients for the coconut embryo. This structure is also important for making coconut milk and other products.

A sri lankan here. Coconut is one of biggest exports of our country. And we are home for "king coconut" locally "thambili" which is an orange colour coco mostly for drinking its sweet water and if lucky can eat its soft flesh ( all king cocos don''t have flesh ). A green coco we call a "kurumba" can drink its water and eat its thick flesh. When a green one get dry and turn brown we use them for cooking food. Or produce coco oil. Coconat is called "pol" in sri lanka. Coconut tree is " pol gasa" means coconut tree. But it has another name called " kapruka" . Means the tree that provide all comfort. Cz all parts of tree can be uaed for something useful. If we have some coconut trees and a jack fruit tree in a house, they can live out of hunger even in a critical situation .

Don't use drill to cut coconut. Instead, hold it on one hand and find its face (three dots on the shell) and with your other hand holding a butcher's meat knife, whack the "forehead" of the face of the coconut (with the blunt side of the knife). If you do it properly, with just one hit, the coconut splits straight through diameter (hope you prepared a saucer beneath to collect the water) and you can eat the inside. We don't have drills in the South Pacific, and we normally use a machete to open coconut which is considered our tree of life because you can use all parts of the tree, the leaves, the coconut, the branches to make anything that sustains life. Coconut water is highly nutritious and if pregnant young mothers have newborns but they cannot produce milk, you can prepare coconut water for her instead. Just get a fresh coconut, open it up, and mix with little water, and after heating it up for at least 5 mins, then give to her newborn baby to drink after it has cooled down a bit (happened in my family because grandmother was nurse). Cheers!

Actually, Caribbeans get coconut water from yellow or green coconuts. In their estimation, a "brown nut" is considered "over ripe."

I love how you ask the viewers when you are unsure of something. Keep making amazing videos!

Here in the Philippines nobody drink from a brown coconut because of it's sourness and we consider it stale, we only use its juice to produce vinegar. The fresh coconut, or young coconut (usually green in color, and it has a soft shell) is the one we use to drink.

I'm Nigerian(a country in West Africa for the people that don't know)and the brown coconut is the most popular if not the only type we have here and the water isn't bad, sour tasting or coloured. Its clear and tastes fresh. We use it to make coconut rice, or any other type of food that we need coconuts in. We also use the brown coconut to make tasty coconut candies, coconut oil or just eat the coconut nut raw(i.e after removing the shell)

BTW coconut water and coconut milk are different things. Water is this, the natural liquid inside the coconut, but coconut milk comes from extreacting it from the white content of the fruit.

Pure coconut water was used as saline for wounded soldiers in the Pacific during WWII

[Ziriaftobe]

Coconut water was simply a medicine during my childhood when I had hot fever. Coconut is the most common tree planted in every house in my country.

I’m Jamaican. We love the green “soft” coconut and we call it jelly. The liquid is sweet and refreshing. Sometime we chop out the meat from the brown coconut and sprinkle sugar on it for a treat.

[ananthropomorphictalkinggo]

Coconuts insides turn in to a kind of foam when they sprout, so those little stringy things are probably the beginning of that process.

[burhanabg]

One thing that most people in non tropical countries don’t understand. We never ever drink coconut water from a mature coconut. It doesn’t taste good and undrinkable. Coconut water for consumption is taken from immature or young coconut. The coconut shell is much softer than the one shown here.

FACT: Coconut shell carbon is the highest quality carbons sought out in water filtration devices. Why? Because the water inside a coconut is said to be the purest and uncontaminated liquids found anywhere in the world. (*When it's burnt it becomes activated which enhances its aDsorption properties.)

Green coconut water is nutritious and hydrating for the body. Coconut water from brown coconuts acts as a diuretic and will actually facilitate dehydration.

Could you consider mentioning the zoom level and how much the video was sped up by? Great video

I'm from tropical Malaysia, and we have gazillions of coconuts. Only water from young green coconuts are drank fresh. The white meat is also edible. You can eat it just like that. In this video you only showed old brown nuts. The water is never drank and usually thrown away. The meat inside has turned hard and can only be grated. This grated meat is turned in ingredients (santan milk for nasi lemak) or toppings for food such as local cakes and tarts. The entire tree can be used. The leaves are used to make traditional woven attap roofs for houses. The trunk can be used as building materials for houses and small bridges.

We call the young, green ones "buko" here in the Philippines, and the liquid "buko juice" (the term "coconut water" is more for export products). My late grandfather served in the Philippine Commonwealth and United States armies, going guerrilla as the Second World War escalated. He said in the mountain jungles, he as a GP would use buko juice as a makeshift IV to address dehydration or other illnesses.
