The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family (Arecaceae) and the only living species of the genus Cocos.[1] The term "coconut" (or the archaic "cocoanut")[2] can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a nut. The name comes from the old Portuguese and Spanish word coco, meaning 'head' or 'skull' after the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features. They are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions, and are a cultural icon of the tropics.

Native range of Cocos nucifera prior to its cultivation. It is one of the most useful trees in the world, and is often referred to as the "tree of life". It provides food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine and building materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of the mature seed, as well as the coconut milk extracted from it, forms a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics. Coconuts are distinct from other fruits because their endosperm contains a large quantity of clear liquid, called coconut water or coconut juice. Mature, ripe coconuts can be used as edible seeds, or processed for oil and plant milk from the flesh, charcoal from the hard shell, and coir from the fibrous husk. Dried coconut flesh is called copra, and the oil and milk derived from it are commonly used in cooking - frying in particular - as well as in soaps and cosmetics. The hard shells, fibrous husks and long pinnate leaves can be used as material to make a variety of products for furnishing and decoration. The coconut has cultural and religious significance in certain societies, particularly in India, where it is used in Hindu rituals. It forms the basis of wedding and worship rituals in Hinduism, a coconut religion in Vietnam, and features in the origin myths of several societies. The falling nature of their mature fruit has led to preoccupation with death by coconut.[3] Coconuts have been used by humans for thousands of years, and may have spread to their present range because of Pacific island settlers. The evolutionary origin of the coconut is under dispute, with theories stating that it may have evolved in Asia, South America, or on islands in the Pacific. Trees grow up to 30 m (98 ft) tall and can yield up to 75 fruits per year, though less than 30 is more typical. Plants are intolerant of cold weather and prefer copious precipitation, as well as full sunlight. Many insect pests and diseases affect the species, and are a nuisance for commercial production. About 74% of the world's supply of coconuts derives from Indonesia, the Philippines, and India combined

Also, you should make a video reviewing astronaut food. Some of it is good, others are awful. Personally my favorite astronaut food is the ice cream sandwich.
You guys should have had blindly handed Connor a bite to eat and asked him how he liked pork brain. That would have been so freaking hilarious. Or any of those foods, for that matter.
*Coconut Facts* 1. The origin of the coconut has been lost to history. Coconuts are a prehistoric plant that scientists believe came from the South Pacific around what is now New Guinea. 2. The sailors aboard Vasco de Gama’s ships gave the coconut its name. They called it “Coco”, named after a grimacing face or hobgoblin. When the “coco” came to England, the suffix of nut was added and that’s how the name came about. coconut tree 3. Coconut oils contain median chain triglycerides which are easy to digest. The oil is source of energy and has an accelerating effect on the metabolism. 4. Coconut oils also contain four growth hormones, that help the development of many organisms. Coconut water is considered the “father of modern tissue culture science”. 5. Coconut Water Can Be Used as a Substitute for Blood Plasma !!! 6. They grow from sandy soils and an abundant amount of sun and rain. Often they are found near the ocean and sustainable to the excessive salt in the air. woman-holding-a-cracked-coconut 7. Coconut trees belong to the plant family known as Arecaceae and are the only species of the genus Cocos. They can grow up to 30 meters high. 8. Coconuts are the seeds of the coconut palm tree and considered a type of nut. The “meat” of the coconut is high in protein; whereas the milk is refreshing, light and low in sugar. 9. Aside from their culinary purposes, they are also used for cosmetic purposes and as a mosquito repellent (burning the husk). 10. Most plants have tap roots. However, the coconut tree has a fibrous root system. The tree gains the nutrition from thin branching roots growing from the stem.

History Fossil Cocos zeylanica from the Miocene of New Zealand, 4 cm (1 1⁄2 in) long. One of the earliest mentions of the coconut dates back to the "One Thousand and One Nights" story of Sinbad the Sailor; he is known to have bought and sold coconut during his fifth voyage.[10] Thenga, its Malayalam name, was used in the detailed description of coconut found in Itinerario by Ludovico di Varthema published in 1510 and also in the later Hortus Indicus Malabaricus.[11] Even earlier, it was called nux indica, a name used by Marco Polo in 1280 while in Sumatra, taken from the Arabs who called it jawz hindī, translating to "Indian nut".[12] In the earliest description of the coconut palm known, given by Cosmos of Alexandria in his Topographia Christiana written around 545, there is a reference to the argell tree and its drupe.[11][13] In March 1521, a description of the coconut was given by Antonio Pigafetta writing in Italian and using the words "cocho"/"cochi", as recorded in his journal after the first European crossing of the Pacific Ocean during the Magellan circumnavigation and meeting the inhabitants of what would become known as Guam and the Philippines. He explained how at Guam "they eat coconuts" ("mangiano cochi") and that the natives there also "anoint the body and the hair with coconut and beniseed oil" ("ongieno el corpo et li capili co oleo de cocho et de giongioli").[14] Origin The range of the natural habitat of the coconut palm tree delineated by the red line (based on information in Werth (1933),[15] slightly modified by Niklas Jonsson) The origin of the plant is, after many decades, still the subject of debate.[16][17] It has generally been accepted that the coconut originated in the India-Indonesia region and float-distributed itself around the world by riding ocean currents.[17][18] The similarities of the local names in the Malaysia-Indonesia region is also cited as evidence that the plant originated in the region. For example, the Polynesian and Melanesian term niu and the Tagalog and Chamorro term niyog is said to be based on the Malay word nyiur or nyior.[19][20] O. F. Cook was one of the earliest modern researchers to draw conclusions about the location of origin of Cocos nucifera based on its current-day worldwide distribution.[21][22] He hypothesized that the coconut originated in the Americas, based on his belief that American coconut populations predated European contact and because he considered pan-tropical distribution by ocean currents improbable. Thor Heyerdahl later used this as one part of his hypothesis to support his theory that the Pacific Islanders originated as two migration streams from the Canadian Pacific coast (themselves recent migrants from Asia) to Hawaii, and on to Tahiti and New Zealand in a series of hops, and another migration from South America via sailing balsa-wood rafts.[23] However, the conventional scientific opinion supports an Indo-Pacific origin either around Melanesia and Malaysia or the Indian Ocean.[18][22] The oldest fossils known of the modern coconut dating from the Eocene period from around 55 million to 37 million years ago were found in Australia and India,[22] but older palm fossils such as some of nipa fruit have been found in the Americas. A partial well preserved and detailed fossil palm frond of †Cocos robustifolia from the lower Oligocene has been described from a collection made from 1857 to 1889 in Santa Giustina and Sassello in Central Liguria, Italy.[24] A species with strawberry-sized nuts (Cocos zeylanica) lived in New Zealand in the Miocene. Since 1978, the work on tracing the probable origin and dispersal of Cocos nucifera[25] has only recently been augmented by a publication on the germination rate of the coconut seednut [26] and another on the importance of the coral atoll ecosystem.[27] Briefly, the coconut originated in the coral atoll ecosystem - without human intervention - and required a thick husk and slow germination to survive and disperse. Description Plant Cocos nucifera is a large palm, growing up to 30 m (98 ft) tall, with pinnate leaves 4-6 m (13-20 ft) long, and pinnae 60-90 cm (2-3 ft) long; old leaves break away cleanly, leaving the trunk smooth. Coconuts are generally classified into two general types: tall and dwarf.[28] On fertile soil, a tall coconut palm tree can yield up to 75 fruits per year, but more often yields less than 30, mainly due to poor cultural practices.[29][30][31] Given proper care and growing conditions, coconut palms produce their first fruit in six to ten years, taking 15 to 20 years to reach peak production.[32] Fruit Layers of a matured coconut The endosperm is initially in its nuclear phase suspended within the coconut water.[4] As development continues, cellular layers of endosperm deposit along the walls of the coconut, becoming the edible coconut "flesh". Botanically, the coconut fruit is a drupe, not a true nut.[5] Like other fruits, it has three layers: the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. The exocarp and mesocarp make up the "husk" of the coconuts. Coconuts sold in the shops of nontropical countries often have had the exocarp (outermost layer) removed. The mesocarp is composed of a fiber, called coir, which has many traditional and commercial uses. The shell has three germination pores (micropyles) or "eyes" that are clearly visible on its outside surface once the husk is removed. A full-sized coconut weighs about 1.44 kg (3.2 lb). It takes around 6,000 full-grown coconuts to produce one tonne of copra.[33] Roots Unlike some other plants, the palm tree has neither a tap root nor root hairs, but has a fibrous root system.[34] The coconut palm root system[18] consists of an abundance of thin roots that grow outward from the plant near the surface. Only a few of the roots penetrate deep into the soil for stability. This type of root system is known as fibrous or adventitious, and is a characteristic of grass species. Other types of large trees produce a single downward-growing tap root with a number of feeder roots growing from it. Coconut palms continue to produce roots from the base of the stem throughout their lives. The number of roots produced depends on the age of the tree and the environment, with more than 3,600 roots possible on a tree that is 60 to 70 years old. Roots are usually less than about 75 mm (3 inches) in diameter and uniformly thick from the tree trunk to the root tip. Inflorescence The palm produces both the female and male flowers on the same inflorescence; thus, the palm is monoecious.[34] Other sources use the term polygamomonoecious.[35] The female flower is much larger than the male flower. Flowering occurs continuously. Coconut palms are believed to be largely cross-pollinated, although some[which?] dwarf varieties are self-pollinating. Distribution Domestication
Dame Tu Cosita is not just a stupid meme song. It is much more, it is something that goes beyond the average human's mental capabilities. Dame Tu Cosita is a cult, a thing to live by. I first encountered it some days after it came out. I was stunned by its sheer wonderful impression. Dame Tu Cosita saves me from my depressive episodes, it is MY reason to live. Dame Tu Cosita is simply a gift from god

The bird nest medicine is actully legit, it was used a lot ((and still)), it has many health benefits although it does sound disgusting to people outside of china, or chinese culture 👍🏻 Also with the grass coconut jelly that was so funny cause its smth my mom sells at her shop and drinks it normally 😭
@@lullsbaby9321 More like Chinese superstition. It's the reason they kill sharks by taking their fins and a number of other very destructive things they do. I hope that one day they can drop the most damaging superstitions.
VlogginLife, Liz is exactly like me, (not really EXACTLY but I would eat gross food for money) I would eat ALL of those foods for sweet sweet money except the spider... I would just eat like at least all the legs... Wish I worked there... I could make Matthias pay me money to eat gross stuff and maybe even play with dangerous animals... Also yes, I agree, Liz should be on the show more!!!
I've had grass jelly, it was good, but a little too sweet for my taste, and beef tongue, freshly cooked in a burrito-->yummy. I think the only other thing on this list I would try is the canned whole chicken. It just looks like a chicken that is cooked until it is ready to turn into chicken soup. After we cook and eat a whole chicken or turkey, I take the bones and what meat is left and boil it to make broth. I have eaten crickets, but only ground into a flour and used as an ingredient. I don't think I could eat the spider as it is shown.

Hi random person scrolling through the comments This is probably lost, deep in the comment section, but have a nice day! Best of luck to whatever you are or will be doing!
Im from the Bahamas sooo ik alot about coconuts and it is supposed to be green even when it falls off the tree the brown shell u guys always see is under the green covering so we chop off the green piece to get to the brown piece then we cut open the brown piece to get to the coconut juice and jelly lollll yhhh thats alot of explaining.😂😂

The spelling cocoanut is an archaic form of the word.[2] The term is derived from the 16th-century Portuguese and Spanish word coco meaning "head" or "skull", from the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features.[3] Coconuts are known for their versatility ranging from food to cosmetics.[4] They form a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics. Coconuts are distinct from other fruits for their endosperm containing a large quantity of water[4] (also called "milk"),[5] and when immature, may be harvested for the potable coconut water. When mature, they can be used as seed nuts or processed for oil, charcoal from the hard shell, and coir from the fibrous husk. When dried, the coconut flesh is called copra. The oil and milk derived from it are commonly used in cooking and frying, as well as in soaps and cosmetics. The husks and leaves can be used as material to make a variety of products for furnishing and decorating. The coconut also has cultural and religious significance in certain societies, particularly in India, where it is used in Hindu rituals.[6] Contents 1 Etymology 2 History 3 Description 4 Distribution 5 Natural habitat 6 Production and cultivation 7 Uses 8 Allergies 9 Varieties 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links Etymology The name coconut derives from seafarers during the 16th and 17th century for its resemblance to a head.[7] 'Coco' and 'coconut' apparently came from 1521 encounters by Portuguese and Spanish explorers with Pacific islanders, with the coconut shell reminding them of a ghost or witch in Portuguese folklore called coco (also côca).[8][9] The specific name nucifera is Latin for "nut-bearing". History Fossil Cocos zeylanica from the Miocene of New Zealand, 4 cm (1 1⁄2 in) long. One of the earliest mentions of the coconut dates back to the "One Thousand and One Nights" story of Sinbad the Sailor; he is known to have bought and sold coconut during his fifth voyage.[10] Thenga, its Malayalam name, was used in the detailed description of coconut found in Itinerario by Ludovico di Varthema published in 1510 and also in the later Hortus Indicus Malabaricus.[11] Even earlier, it was called nux indica, a name used by Marco Polo in 1280 while in Sumatra, taken from the Arabs who called it jawz hindī, translating to "Indian nut".[12] In the earliest description of the coconut palm known, given by Cosmos of Alexandria in his Topographia Christiana written around 545, there is a reference to the argell tree and its drupe.[11][13] In March 1521, a description of the coconut was given by Antonio Pigafetta writing in Italian and using the words "cocho"/"cochi", as recorded in his journal after the first European crossing of the Pacific Ocean during the Magellan circumnavigation and meeting the inhabitants of what would become known as Guam and the Philippines. He explained how at Guam "they eat coconuts" ("mangiano cochi") and that the natives there also "anoint the body and the hair with coconut and beniseed oil" ("ongieno el corpo et li capili co oleo de cocho et de giongioli").[14] Origin The range of the natural habitat of the coconut palm tree delineated by the red line (based on information in Werth (1933),[15] slightly modified by Niklas Jonsson) The origin of the plant is, after many decades, still the subject of debate.[16][17] It has generally been accepted that the coconut originated in the India-Indonesia region and float-distributed itself around the world by riding ocean currents.[17][18] The similarities of the local names in the Malaysia-Indonesia region is also cited as evidence that the plant originated in the region. For example, the Polynesian and Melanesian term niu and the Tagalog and Chamorro term niyog is said to be based on the Malay word nyiur or nyior.[19][20] O. F. Cook was one of the earliest modern researchers to draw conclusions about the location of origin of Cocos nucifera based on its current-day worldwide distribution.[21][22] He hypothesized that the coconut originated in the Americas, based on his belief that American coconut populations predated European contact and because he considered pan-tropical distribution by ocean currents improbable. Thor Heyerdahl later used this as one part of his hypothesis to support his theory that the Pacific Islanders originated as two migration streams from the Canadian Pacific coast (themselves recent migrants from Asia) to Hawaii, and on to Tahiti and New Zealand in a series of hops, and another migration from South America via sailing balsa-wood rafts.[23] However, the conventional scientific opinion supports an Indo-Pacific origin either around Melanesia and Malaysia or the Indian Ocean.[18][22] The oldest fossils known of the modern coconut dating from the Eocene period from around 55 million to 37 million years ago were found in Australia and India,[22] but older palm fossils such as some of nipa fruit have been found in the Americas. A partial well preserved and detailed fossil palm frond of †Cocos robustifolia from the lower Oligocene has been described from a collection made from 1857 to 1889 in Santa Giustina and Sassello in Central Liguria, Italy.[24] A species with strawberry-sized nuts (Cocos zeylanica) lived in New Zealand in the Miocene. Since 1978, the work on tracing the probable origin and dispersal of Cocos nucifera[25] has only recently been augmented by a publication on the germination rate of the coconut seednut [26] and another on the importance of the coral atoll ecosystem.[27] Briefly, the coconut originated in the coral atoll ecosystem - without human intervention - and required a thick husk and slow germination to survive and disperse. Description Plant Cocos nucifera is a large palm, growing up to 30 m (98 ft) tall, with pinnate leaves 4-6 m (13-20 ft) long, and pinnae 60-90 cm (2-3 ft) long; old leaves break away cleanly, leaving the trunk smooth. Coconuts are generally classified into two general types: tall and dwarf.[28] On fertile soil, a tall coconut palm tree can yield up to 75 fruits per year, but more often yields less than 30, mainly due to poor cultural practices.[29][30][31] Given proper care and growing conditions, coconut palms produce their first fruit in six to ten years, taking 15 to 20 years to reach peak production.[32] Fruit Layers of a matured coconut The endosperm is initially in its nuclear phase suspended within the coconut water.[4] As development continues, cellular layers of endosperm deposit along the walls of the coconut, becoming the edible coconut "flesh". Botanically, the coconut fruit is a drupe, not a true nut.[5] Like other fruits, it has three layers: the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. The exocarp and mesocarp make up the "husk" of the coconuts. Coconuts sold in the shops of nontropical countries often have had the exocarp (outermost layer) removed. The mesocarp is composed of a fiber, called coir, which has many traditional and commercial uses. The shell has three germination pores (micropyles) or "eyes" that are clearly visible on its outside surface once the husk is removed. A full-sized coconut weighs about 1.44 kg (3.2 lb). It takes around 6,000 full-grown coconuts to produce one tonne of copra.[33] Roots Unlike some other plants, the palm tree has neither a tap root nor root hairs, but has a fibrous root system.[34] The coconut palm root system[18] consists of an abundance of thin roots that grow outward from the plant near the surface. Only a few of the roots penetrate deep into the soil for stability. This type of root system is known as fibrous or adventitious, and is a characteristic of grass species. Other types of large trees produce a single downward-growing tap root with a number of feeder roots growing from it. Coconut palms continue to produce roots from the base of the stem throughout their lives. The number of roots produced depends on the age of the tree and the environment, with more than 3,600 roots possible on a tree that is 60 to 70 years old. Roots are usually less than about 75 mm (3 inches) in diameter and uniformly thick from the tree trunk to the root tip. Inflorescence The palm produces both the female and male flowers on the same inflorescence; thus, the palm is monoecious.[34] Other sources use the term polygamomonoecious.[35] The female flower is much larger than the male flower. Flowering occurs continuously. Coconut palms are believed to be largely cross-pollinated, although some[which?] dwarf varieties are self-pollinating. Distribution Domestication Coconut plantation in India Coconuts could not reach inland locations without human intervention (to carry seednuts, plant seedlings, etc.) and early germination on the palm (vivipary) was important,[36] rather than increasing the number or size of the edible parts of a fruit that was already large enough. Human cultivation of the coconut selected, not for larger size, but for thinner husks and increased volume of endosperm, the solid "meat" or liquid "water" that provides the fruit its food value. Although these modifications for domestication would reduce the fruit's ability to float, this ability would be irrelevant to a cultivated population.
The first one we usually eat it with more herb. The bird nest will be cook before consumption and it's very expensive. The fresher it is the better it taste. Sometimes my parent just cook it, put it in a bowl, and crack a raw egg on it and then eat it. Not my favorite tbh Edit: Thanks for the 150 likes 😄
MagicDonut 634 well, idk either, i just ask my father and he said he don't know too. He did that because his parent also gave them to him. I think it's good for your brain, a lot of protein, etc
Well they shouldn’t be canned but the producers do it because they CAN ( no one else oh okay ) sasorry I just had to do it😂. Keep up the good work you to Aaron(1:27)
I honestly miss just Mathias and Bryan just being on a channel don’t get me wrong I do love the guys and they are funny but I just love more just Mathias and Bryan. Anybody else agree?
