Half of that coconut fell on the floor. Such a waste to not pick it up for the video, haha.
I wanna bust every nut
You should try the seeds of the beech tree its a mostly forgotten delicacy i love to eat them in fall
Thank you, that was very enlightening.
Hi i am from Southeast asia. i don't understand why she smash young coconut and mature coconut like that ? Southeast asian most of food cooked with coconut milk . we will open coconut way better ????????????????????
using this video as preparation if he ever cheats on me
The meat of both the young and mature coconut is soft enough to be scooped out with a spoon. That's how we do it in our country. The young coconut that you showed was too young and didn't have any meat
You forgot one…
wtf is she doing with that coconut?
Why did I not know that a coconut is a nut ????
I’m here with my peanut and nut allergies ;p
