Darn, I forgot the name of this.
When we went to Casa San Pablo, the owner mentioned the name of this. I didn't write it in my notebook. My goodness.
Actually this is not a flower. The flower of the coconut can be found in the tree before the fruits grow larger.
This one that is located inside the shell, between the flesh will grow as the sprout comes out. As the sprout grows bigger, the bigger it will it will become.
Yes sirs and ma'ams, this is edible. And taste smooth and nice. Taste like its water.
Coconut really a wonderful tree.

I have tasted so many coconut based products. I remember there was a sweet. I dont remember the name of the sweet. But the sweet was made of coconut . It was a homemade sweet.

@ilocosboy Well the homemade sweet that I am talking about is made up of butter, coconut shred, sugar, etc. The sweet is also many times rolled into a small circular shaped sweets, so that it becomes easy to consume and digest.

@ilocosboy I see actually I could not remember the name in our local dialect. I just don’t know if that is the same with @simplyd because she’s bicolano too.

@ilocosboy You are lucky as it available in your place. The place I live at present, it is not easily available and we have to pay high price. Very rarely we get this kind of stuffs inside.

It's called " buwa" in Tagalog or "bula" or " buha" in the Western Visayan dialects, that delicious soft spongy mass is the coconut embryo or cotyledon. It's called coconut apple in English. I ate a lot of that because my mother's family has a small coconut plantation down South. The only problem is if you eat that you won't be able to plant a new coconut tree lol!
