Coconut Milk Boost

Good morning everyone. Today is a very busy day for us as a family. It’s definitely not a chill weekend. After sweeping the 2 floors of the house I decided to give up on the ground floor as my hand was blistered from using the broom too much. Then the coconut tree caught my eye and I had an Einstein moment (light bulb next to my head). Hey! Why don’t we have some coconut milk for refreshments. It would be good to keep us hydrated. Coconut milk is better than water since they have the same component as our blood plasma. Since our coconut is short I didn’t even have to climb it. I just twirled the coconuts till they disconnect from the tree. The 4 coconuts I collected served 10 people with repeats and now we are ready to do more work! How’s your weekend going?

We call it in our dialect as "tubig sang butong" (water of young coconut). It is good source of potassium, manganese, and sodium. It also serves as antioxidants.

Yeah I feel blessed in terms of fruit trees. A large backyard is really good for that.

@rsa101 We also have a surplus of papayas. Still waiting for other fruit trees to grow. We planted a lot.

@DianneN Yes we all need that Nothing Day! It’s actually not as easy as it sounds if you’re used to being a busy body.

Oh yeah sometimes we put it along with the drink. I love it indeed! Sometimes we add it to our cooking like what my mum did. She made coconut-papaya soup with shells for lunch today.

@flapiz that's delicious and love to eat as here people less interest in drink coconut water but they more interested in eating that cream and we call it malai.

They are sold in boxes in the supermarket and malls. But it would be more pricey than the live one.

I love coconut milk! When I was a child I would shimmy up the tall coconut tree at my grandmother's house and cut down all the coconuts so I could drink the milk and eat the coconut. I used to love doing that!

Hahaha you really really sound so Asian! I am too scared to climb one so I’m stuck with dwarf coconuts for sustenance.

@flapiz Wouldn’t it just be easier to go to the grocery store and buy some coconut milk?

Me too. And when they turn brown and old, I like the white puffy thing that comes with it. In Bohol we call it “botbot” in Tagalog they call it “buwa” apparently. Have you eaten that?

@JustBhem It’s soft it looks like a little mushroom that gows in the center of brown coconut.
