How to eat coconut meat
summary
Many people just drink coconut juice when they eat coconut, and then abandon coconut shell after drinking. This is definitely picking sesame and losing watermelon. Because many people have overlooked a more important thing, that is, coconut meat. I'd like to offer you an excellent example of how to eat coconut meat.
How to eat coconut meat
First: coconut is sweet in taste, warm in nature, non-toxic, and enters stomach, spleen and large intestine meridians; coconut juice has the effects of stopping thirst, benefiting the hair and making black (need to be coated), tonifying spleen and stomach, generating body fluid and diuresis, killing insects and eliminating malnutrition; it can be used to treat hematemesis and edema, wind heat, summer heat and thirst, vomiting and diarrhea, edema and less urine, infantile malnutrition, tapeworm, etc.
Second: after drinking the coconut juice, use a knife to split the coconut. It must be a good knife, otherwise it will be difficult to split. Coconut must be old. Usually there are many spots on the skin, or the coconut is not smooth, mostly old coconut. In the picture above, the old coconut with black tail must be black, but if the root is black, it must be bad coconut. It can't be sold or eaten.
Third: there are many varieties of coconut, including green coconut and red coconut, which mainly refers to the different colors of the outer skin. In fact, their essential differences are not big. The real difference in quality is the white shell coconut and the red shell coconut. The outer skin of these two kinds of coconut is mostly green, which is difficult to distinguish. I don't know how to distinguish.
matters needing attention
The inner shell color of red shell coconut is red black (but the outer skin is also green), and the inner mesophyll is particularly thick. Red shell coconut with good quality is mostly bought from Lingshui, Hainan.
