Weird Explorer you doing a good job.keep up the good work.
In same way try sprouted Borassus flabellifer seeds
Has no one noticed that through his video when he is taste testing the coconut you can hear a girl screaming omg and moaning in the background like his nabor 😂😂
In the Caribbean, they call these coconut apples. I wonder if the summers in New Jersey are long enough to plant coconuts in the ground and get them to convert into coconut apples.
"its crispy"
"ᵒʰ ᵐʸ ᵍᵒᵈ"
Lmaoooo, very funny
:'D that was so perfect
7:00 for anyone needing the timestamp.
As soon as I heard that I immediately rushed to the comments to see what kind of things people said about this.
PLEASE THAT HAD ME CACKLING
The bitter soapiness is because that's not fresh and has started to go rancid. It's too mature. Usually when we eat sprouted coconuts in SE Asia, it's from coconuts that are only showing a tiny bud from the coconut shell. Not a full-grown seedling.
True. I wouldn't have dared to try this much mature coconut! As you have said, we only eat when it has only a very small bud. Nobody actually deliberately looks for such coconuts here in Bangladesh, although I have seen the cores being sold separately.
Thank you both--that's exactly what I was wondering about. It seemed to be too far along to just call "sprouted", and I doubt most germinated seeds would be very good that mature.

@@canban That's really odd. Because I live in Bengal and I have never seen anyone eat sprouted coconuts on this side od the border. 😂
Must be another one of those Bangal culinary secrets.
"My cat is excited about this" meow "yes, i know, sprouted coconuts"
My fave
Kitty co hosts are the best
I KNOW RIGHT THAT WAS SO CUTE
It's actually funny considering that cats just yell random stuff at you. It kinda sounds right.
When you get the husk off before you crack the inside nut, first, take it to the sink and rinse off the dirt. Next, find the 3 eyes. Press into them with a thumbnail. 2 will be very hard, one will be soft, your nail will poke into it a bit. Use a clean screwdriver or tip of a fruit peeler, poke a hole and open that eye, then you can drain the liquid into a cup or bowl.
THEN crack open the shell. Your inner coconut ball will stay cleaner, lots less mess, and you get to drink the yummy coconut milk.
Great description, I have not had the chance to eat a sprouted coconut yet, but I've gotten pretty good at opening the grocery store ones.
Great advice! Definitely use the “monkey face” to drain the coconut water first. Another good tip: when you get the inside nut out and cleaned up, the best way to crack it is to tap it firmly in a ring around the center of the coconut. This can take a few minutes but if you repeatedly tap along that same ring it’ll create a crack and it will eventually open up into two even halves. It creates less mess, is less frustrating, and nicer than breaking it into random sized pieces.
Wrong buddy...that soft eye you are looking for is where the sprout came out from. No need to use a screw driver, hold the husked coconut in your hand with the sprout to the left and bottom part to your right, then use the blunt part of the machete or heavy cleaver to hit right in between the sprout and bottom. Hit n rotate amd hit again. By the third hit you would have cracked the coconut in half.
I have been trying to find a sprouted coconut for years! Dude I am sooo glad you plugged the company that has this. I'm buying one for sure.
Glad to spread the good word. :)
Well I got the coconuts and I was really surprised how crisp the sprout was. What a strange experience.
HippyEater did you enjoy them? Was it worth it?
Just buy any coconut with or without the outer husk. Keep the lower part ie the part opposite the eyes , slightly submerged in water about an inch or two. Wait for it to sprout ; about a months time. When the sprout is about n inch in height, u can break it open for the flower.
@@HippyEater it's better when the ball inside it is the size of a gulf ball. it's way sweeter than the large ones.
Sounded like your cat meowed "oh my god" after you say it's crispy about 7:00
neighbors
I used to have this as a snack when I was a kid in our coconut farm and It would taste better if the coconut sprout was not that grown out. From my experience the tip of the sprout should just be breaking out f the coconut husk.
It's so weird how a massive, hollow seed could sprout a tree.
life itself is pretty darn wierd
Lord Trump
Are you stupid? That isn't him in the profile picture. Are you Donald Trump? Am I some cartoon? No
Truly Infamous Well now you know it's not hollow by the time it's planted :P
Lord Trump it's Wilford Brimley
He's chosen the username Lord Trump. I'm pretty sure he's not signed up for mensa. (And he failed to recognize Wilfred Brimley!)
7:00 Sounds like someone is exited by crispiness.
Odeun its his cat
Noah it sounded like the chat said “oh my god”😂😭😭🤣🤣
@@lukecapsule4410 wtf,me too.I heard that too
7:00 It's crispy 🤨 "in the background" Oh my God 😱
Icykenny92 😂😂😂 i wonder what happened!!!
the fuck even was that
fleshmeat his cat yowling
I haven't had this in a looong time. It's quiet difficult to get even in Malaysia unless you grow your own coconut tree :') My dad used to give me some to eat when he cracked coconuts for when we make coconut milk in the village.
It's called coconut sponge in Panama
Madeline, do you live in Panama? I've been down there twice recently. Panama City, David, Serra Punta, Boquete, Volcan. Warm, friendly people, wonderful flowers, and fresh, sweet, ripe fruits. PARADISE!!!
it`s `called no where to be seen here in Canada.
It is called coconut apple here in mexico
In French Polynesia we call this "Uto" and often call it "Polynesian marshmallow" when we show it to visitors. On the surface of the "sponge" (Uto) there is coconut butter that we use to moisturize the skin or wash hair. Enjoy!
We used to call it a coconut kernel. We used to get them when they were smaller than what you had. Basically felt like a sponge to me. your show brings back so many memories for me, i grew up in the tropics with a fruit orchid with lots of exotic fruit.
so nice to hear!
Lol this reminds me of when me an my brother orderd some sprouted coconut an it came in while we were out with friends. So our grandma being the world's best gardener decided to do us a solid and planted them for us. We got home an allmost didn't have the heart to eat em. 😅
When I lived in the Florida keys a friend of mine turned me on to coconut this way, It is very delicious, You can also cut open a green coconut and use a spoon to spoon out the gel coconut inside.
Great video thank you.
You should get a younger sprouted coconut with the shoot just trying to poke out of the husk. The shoots are soft and edible at that stage.
Also coconuts that are not green are good for another thing - fresh coconut milk. Vendors hold the outside of the shell and grate the meaty insides with a machine, and then press the milk out of the grated meat. These are not for drinking, but for cooking. People have already figured out that the tough meat is good for other things with a bit of processing. ;)
Coconut truly is a tree of a thousand uses!
Its true! coconut: milk, water, flour, sugar, fiber, meat, cream.. very impressive plant,
Even though I've lived in Barbados all my life, I've never eaten the inside of a sprouted coconut. I must head down to the beach and try one sometime. I've heard there's a part in the top of coconut trees known as the heart, that's also very tasty.
I haven't heard of that, sounds interesting :)
Look at how a bean or grain sprouts. You will see that both the leaf stem and roots come from the germ. The germ contains the instructions for starting the process of germination. The endosperm contains primarily the energy source, usually packed as starches and carbohydrates.
Enjoyed the video!
The public markets in the phillipines they just discard it but you can get it for free if you asked the vendor:)
Turns out the best coconut I ever had was a sprouted one. I finally know how to get another one like it.
just buy a regular coconut and plant it in your yard until it sprouts
Never heard of sprouted coconuts before this video and I was fascinated but thought I'd never find them. Then I went to the Seychelles and found them all over the place in the jungle! Such a fun snack
Nice! I'm actually looking into visiting the Seychelles soon, so thats good to know :)
It's good when you grind it and put little bit sugar and mix with carnation milk and put in the freezer and when it's frozen like a ice cream and it's very delicious we call that ice yote.. Try it you will in love with it
sounds good!
I find that even just the fruit by itself seems better when it’s cold versus room temp
What about the other meat that was stuck on the shell? Can you eat that as well?
Yes.
I'm a bit late lol, but I think that's just regular coconut flesh
If I am non mistaken, it's actually how you get coconut oil which is from sprouted coconuts. I could be wrong about that, but I am pretty sure that's right.
@@Zuzu-lt6bj no need of that.
@@Zuzu-lt6bj here normal coconut dried and then make oil from it
This is my favorite! I had these all the time in the islands as a kid, and it's so hard to describe to people!
YES I love Miami Fruit! They're my only source for trying rare tropical fruit!
Nice! I've had a few comments suggesting I look at their site recently, I'm so glad I did!
Got so excited when I saw this video. Always wanted to try a sprouted coconut.
I have so many sprouted coconuts in my yard and have been wanting to try to taste them (I use them as borders around my trees). You have inspired me. I think I will attempt it this weekend.
Definitely worth it, enjoy!
I am so fascinated by the consistency of the kernel
That yellowish coconut inside is my most favorite. When I was young I craved for these and my mom and sister would go get them free from the coconut flesh seller who bundled up whole bag of tiny little ones. The tinier they are the more flavorful and mealy. That one you have is too big already and has become mild in taste with lots of coconut juice inside. I think they are called sprouts or coconut flower.
My heart melts seeing one of our childhood snack. It's spongy and depends on the age of the cocount, the taste varies. Use it when younger and it makes a little difference. Also, the heart Is delicious- heart of palm. ( Any palm)..it's at roadside on Guyana. A regular dry coconut sprouts. You need a Guyana machete.
just made my first order with Miami fruits. thanks for the referral! they look amazing.
nomadglobalcooking awesome! glad to spread the good word. there's a promo code in the video description if you didn't see it
I had a lot of these. Its easily available where I live. I would suggest you to try the smaller ones(not fully grown ones).Its much more sweeter and has a better flavour.
Have U tried green coconuts? They're supposed to be creamy or custardy at when under-ripe.
From the ones I’ve had it’s less so a “custard” texture and more of an almost soggy mushroom or steak fat texture - and they’re sweeter. I made it sound gross but it’s not.
I love them so green they have almost no "meat"
Sounds like Macapuno. They aren't acutally 'young coconut' which has a similar texture. Macapuno is a mutation where the gelatenous consistency remains with a fully mature coconut. They get more 'coconutty' as they get older. I've only had jarred sweetened Macapuno, but its so good!
I am so thrilled that you reviewed this! I first found out about the sprouted coconut from Sweet Natural Livings channel and have wanted to try one ever since! Since you aren't a fruitarian and had the same,reaction it makes me realllllly want to try it now! Thanks for your always awesome content 💗
It’s like a delicious tropical snowball… 😋
I had this in Kaua'i, Hawai'i. I went on an adventure to find it too. As soon as I landed I went to a farmer's market seeking this out. I met a couple coconut vendors, and after befriending them they offered to find a sprouted coconut and bring it to another market the next day. I finally had my first sprouted coconut, and it did not disappoint! Crunchy, slightly salty, and with the transformed coconut meat it was so delicious!
Its a wonder they aren't more commonly available
I like it when the 'thing' inside hasn't yet grown that big. The smaller it is the sweeter, firmer and less watery.. yum.
I grew up in Key West drinking coconut water and eating the white flesh all the time from the trees that grew in our yard. NEVER in my life did I know a sprouted coconut was a thing to eat. I feel compelled to try one now. We just never let it get to that stage. The white flesh is just so dang delicious to let it go into this sprouted stage. Never seen or heard of anyone eating a sprouted coconut.
Wow I really want to try this especially because I live in Florida and they grow everywhere here! I heard from many people that its a delicacy and in Venezuela we call it "Manzana de Coco or Corazon de Coco" which means Coconut Apple or Coconut Heart. Thanks for sharing!
interesting!
Thanks for the video and especially for the link to the seller! I've been wanting to try these for years. I guess they call it Kings Bread in Hawaii. I tried to find some in Florida about six months ago but none of the fruit stand employees knew what I was talking about.
It's a fun one to try! ive seen people use it as bread before, so that name fits!
we call it Tombong Kelapa (in Malay). prefer a smaller sized tombong as it'll be more dense and sweeter
RainBaha 😆
we just call it tumbong in the philippines....it's taste grows old really fast (too spongy)...and yes i also prefer the smaller(younger) tumbong.
LOL. It's called *tumbong ng niyog*. Tumbong literally means rectum in Tagalog.

Any chance you've tried/heard of a whitebark raspberry? Supposedly artificial blue raspberry flavoring is inspired by it or something like that.
I haven't! sounds interesting though
Weird Explorer
I know! I came across it last night researching what makes blue raspberry flavoring different than regular raspberry flavoring. I was surprised to find it actually was based off a different raspberry variant.
LittIe Callahan that's awesome!!
YAS
Their tastie 👍
The sprout (leafy part) can be eaten too, peel the hard and fiber green outer, then you can eat the soft and crunchy white part inside. It’s really good, I prefer the young sprout more than the spongy part. Love from Vietnam
not gonna lie, I do love your old intros with the music.
Lol pet yer kitty!
I LOVE COCONUT! My favorite of all Flavours! Thanks for the Video! Your Cat is beautiful! I have two. Ming Ming and Midnight Star. Both Females. They were Strays my Daughter and Granbabies found and they stayed. 🙂😸😸 If I were you, I'd plant one and try to grow a Coconut Tree in my House! 👍
One of the top 5 things I miss about my home in Trinidad.
I used to eat that as a kid growing up in the Philippines. Good stuff!
Carlee Amper same. Now I know how to get some.
Alam ko mayroon pa sa mga palengke ehhh
Yung mga nagbebenta yata ng niyog
Sprouted coconut is a rare treasure.❤️
I’ve had so much of these growing up in Saipan. My Dad would climb the trees and toss the mature coconuts down, he calls it “Sabon ng Coconut”. It’s texture is like styrofoam. But definitely taste like soap 🧼 😂 it’s delicious grilled.
I'll have to try it grilled, sounds interesting!
My mother sometimes gets the young coconuts or baby Thai coconuts, not sure the proper name. That would be an interesting episode.
Interesting, I'll look into it :)
It's called buko in the Philippines. Coconut is odd in that it's sweeter when it's younger
it's called Maphround Oon (young coconut)
I tried young coconuts, I didn't care for them. The ones I had weren't sweet, but it's been years, I don't remember what they tasted like. My husband didn't like them, either.
jbeargrr
The type of young coconut makes a big difference. I've tried ones which are almost sour. I didn't like those. some other types are sweet, which I like. Usually Thai and Filipino young coconut is sweet.
I liked the cat's meow :) Very interesting, it's the first time I have seen a sprouted coconut. Thank you for sharing.
had this a many years ago in Queensland when i was a lad. camping right near a beach, some big burly islander blokes (i think they were tongan) came down n started diggin a hole and setting up a hungi-style thing. hole with a fire that you put meat in and bury to cook. Turns out they were prepping for a wedding. I was playing with their kids (i was about 12 at the time), n they showed me sprouted coconut. they called it coconut marshmellow. be warned if your foraging for them, some go bad, really rancid. keep looking tho, cos its worth it. I recall it being less crisp, more stringy, somewhere between wet cotton balls, cotton candy and marshmellow. but coconut flavored. i guess the exact stage of the plant has alot to do with it.
we wernt invited to the actual ceremony, which was really small, just the couple their parents and siblings. but the party! massive, heaps of people, heaps of food, all of it excellent. music, dancing, bonfire, was a great time. really cool people. tongan wedding 5/5
Got the shirt in the mail. One of my happiest purchases of the year!
Also say sprouted coconut on a survival show and it was heaven for the guy hosting the show. Fun to see your reaction too!
So glad to hear that Christopher!
I LOVE coconut pulps. I eat it all the time and if the pulp is small, the coconut water or juice is most likely sweet.
How often do you call the police on your neighbors?
I haven't, but boy do I think about it.
I’m really curious about this comment bc I don’t notice anything in this video that warrants it and the reply
@@Mr6Sinner 7:00 is p notable
@@Mr6Sinner no, I havent either, maybe its a long running theme of the channel
@@jasonday5143 What was it?
If you ever go to Costa Rica, you can find them almost everywhere on the beaches. It's crispy and spongy at the same time. Such a great treat!
You can try this with palm trees also. After you eat the pulp of the palm fruit(also called taal in Bengali, India), bury the seed in soil. Dig em up after 2/3 months and enjoy. They are called Taler phopa and tastes kinda spongy and sweet! Quite similar to sprouted coconut.
Also if you can, if a coconut tree gets cut near you ar if you can get hold of them. Do eat the top(the bud) of the tree. It nutty and pretty tasty. I tried it only once when the tree in our backyard was chopped of. It's great!
There are three small indentations in one end of the coconut that you need to use a hammer and an ice pick to poke through those indents to the inside of the coconut so you can catch the coconut water. We used to drink it as kids and then Dad would take the hammer and crack it open to reach the meat. Many people don't know this can be done.
I love your UA-cam channel i watch it at 3am every day to fall asleep
It looks like the type of food that tastes better with every bite.
That is a coconut apple....every time i go on vacation to mexico i got to have them.
Yes! I love it when people try these. I haven't even watched this yet and I'm excited.
And you seem so excited about this one, too. I'm sure that they're very easily available here in Florida, so I should try one!
awesome!!! glad you got to try it
Thanks, this was an interesting one!
It’s called coconut apple in Costa Rica. Tried it on the island of Roatán years ago as a kid! Very spongy!
Its very tasty and we do make palm fruits germinate and eat the kernel in similar pattern. Its sweeter than coconut one.
If possible try the coconut stem.
Its something which gets extracted from the bottom part of a fallen tree and tastes very nice.
if you sprout a Reticulated Coconut, the inside of the coconut will be filled with a delicious, sweet rich and coconutty gel. Almost like a custard.
So fascinating ! First video of yours I’ve seen and I love your energy! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber :)
welcome!
that miami fruit page is everything i've ever dreamed off
It's crispier and sweeter when the sprout is not too big yet. I used to eat them with my cousins when we were little.
coconut sprout, i used to eat them a lot when i was a kid. Sweet and Spongy coconut sprout. Me and my mom would only eat them that way or not too aged when the flesh is like a custard
I am fascinated by exotic fruits and I am glad I found your channel. The first episode I watched was CLOUDBERRY.. followed by the Baobab in Madagascar. Such a shame that country is devastated by deforestation. I always thought of Madagascar as an untainted paradise, harboring the most diverse and unique biology in the world. You should travel to Socotra! (not as Westernized) Anyway.. your series is answering a lot of questions that I have about rare and unusual fruits and your exploration of cultures among these travels is good. I will definitely watch most if not all of your series. BTW... I collect FRUIT STICKERS.. I know.. weird right? Lol.. Does anyone else do this? Can I see some of your interesting fruit stickers?
That looks really good. The texture makes me want to put it in my face.
They sell these as plants at many garden centers for about $20. May have to grab a variety box through Miami Fruit, though. Difficult to find a lot of the stuff you show off here in the Midwest!
we used to feed this to our pigs those kind of big ones when we open coconuts for coconut milk. You can definitely eat it though. You should find a coconut that has a smaller sprout. It will give you a smaller meat inside but it's way sweeter at crunchier.
lol I thought the roots looked normal! the seed is what was in the husk, so the roots come out and stay sheathed by the husk, which they'll then break free of and grow to rip it all away!
So cool, like a giant sunflower seed
this is one ive always wanted to try
that really looks like fun! Coconut apple!
That was so epic how the root went down the side of the coconut 5:13
Best way to explain the flavor... Les Stroud (AKA Survivorman) hates coconut but loves coconut solid.
Just wanted to mention people in India eat the inside of Asian Palmyra palm seeds after they have sprouted. The texture and lightness is probably the same. It's light fluffy and sweet.
Also the fruit pulp of the fruit is used to make rice cake (If you ever decide to try one don't eat the fibres).
I paused the video thinking my cat was meowing, then restarted and you said sorry about the cat. lol
You have a lovely box of coconuts.
I am sooo glad you bit it! Lol
hi there again.
I'm from Trinidad.
The part of the sprouted Coconut you ate is actually the Cotyledon that the new sprout feeds on to grow into a Coconut tree, an locally, we call it the Bread of the Coconut.
It's rich in vitamins and boost energy and immune system.
The Coconut Meat or hard white jelly is also very valuable. Wanted to see you taste that too. It can be chipped and blended in water to drink the milk or use to cook a curry chicken, yep and heard you're vegetarian, so you can cook the breadfruit with the Coconut milk, or the Chattine
or filter the solids from the milk and place in the refrigerator for about an hour and you can make virgin coconut oil or the cooked one.
or coconut ice cream with the milk, or Indian sweets like kurma, Gullajamun, barfi, or Ladu or an African sweet called Tulum made with finely grated coconut and molasses.
the grated or minced meat of the Coconut can be used for making Sugar cakes, flour, Pastries, body scrub, etc...
the husk/Fiber Is used as pot scrub, used to plant orchids and antorium flowers and mushrooms. It can be used to make rope and fibres to make thick texture fabric.
the black hard shell inside that holds the water before it turns into jelly, most popular use is cutting in half to make a brazier for a woman to wear, artist sculp it in many ways like the Calabash to make bags, instruments, jewelry, table cutlery and cups or bowls, etc... etc...
Would of liked to see that you Weave the Coconut sprout into something artistic and put to dry as an ornament...
First thing when you opened the box, I noticed that the sprouted coconuts are all spoiled already, I'm sure the Bread was rancid in taste,
But you didn't have a "machetie" to husk it, yes the sprout might still grow even though you pulled it out destroying most of the roots.
Maybe if you can't find the Passion Fruit or Bird Peppers, or Jamun, or Portugal Limes wherever you are, I will find out tomorrow from local Fed Ex the procedure to mail them to you.
Message me on Facebook, Anderson Bridgelal or comment if you're interested.
good luck in your next Fruit of choice to sample, and remember to research them before doing the video.
blessings
Thanks for sharing that information. These weren't rancid and tasted great as they were.
I love it back in the day when my mom cracked coconut I waiting for it
I fill lucky when I see it.
hey the bulb is good for salads shred it and pour some peanut dressing "delish!" hi from the Philippines
For anyone wondering. The texture is kind of like eating a couch cushion.
Also sometimes when you open a sprouted coconut the core isn't fully formed and the smell rancid.
The "bonus flavours" are probably from the dirt you left on it.
We call that bu-ay. When the coconut we bought has one of those me and my sister would divide them and eat them. You can still use the coconut meat for dishes. I love the "rind" of kernel inside. The taste is very unique. The styrofoam-y inside has a weird texture but I love the sweetness of the juice. Even here in the Philippines we dont use that for dishes, even desserts but we just eat them fresh from the shell. I think cooking them will just ruin its flavor. I like the idea of adding them to salad though. I can see it will be nice on a fruit salad or buko salad (young coconut meat salad). In here we use coconut in a lot of dishes and desserts. We usually use them as toppings for baked/steams desserts - desiccated or freshly grated. Nata de coco, a jelly-like dessert, was first invented in the Philippines and is made from fermenting coconut water. But despite all that, I've never seen anyone use that in any dish ever.
I always told my dad to leave the coconut for a couple of months to see a fruit like it
I really liked it
Coconut bread 🍞 that’s is what we call that super sweet when you get it at the right time.
On the top pointy bit of Cozumel there is a jungle- it’s a funny jungle, it’s made up of rather small trees and bushes, it is also very rocky. It is a dry jungle but a jungle never the less. You can hire guides and 4x4s to go out what, after 15 or more years since I was there, a still completely undeveloped dirt and rock track. Stops on the way access unspoilt beaches and diving reefs. I went out there with now, ex wife and a guide in a total crap Suzuki Amigo or Geo Tracker. On one stop there was a brilliant reef, we were told- there was also, rip currents, a hurricane coming in, and sharks. Ex wife still wanted to go in the water and soon got into difficulties. After we rescued her we drove on and stopped at a wonderful little temple with not much else to see- except a sprouted coconut. I wandered if there was anything in it other that stem, roots, and leave. The 2 women encouraged me to smash it open. I picked up a rock and soon had the little sucker open.
ROCK- BY WHICH I MEAN ONE OF DOZENS OF SCATTERED MAYAN ARTIFACTS, and the time I was going to school for a history degree.
It had the most coconut (it’s not) milk (or coconut water), and even though the flesh was pretty thin it was the tastiest I’ve ever had. And after re planting the plant probably survived.
In India, if we don't have a sickle to dehusk the coconut, a sturdy screwdriver is usually a good substitute. Stab, lever out a bit of the husk, and pull it out with hands. Never a regular knife, because it can't take bending strain.
Damn dude you killed that little seedling
that's really good, especially when it's smaller (younger sprout), the flavor is more concentrated and more sweet
Great channel! Just saw this video today, and I noticed a sprouted coconut tonight while watching Anthony Bourdain No Reservations. S3 E5 at 19:25. It’s quick, but pretty cool!
Hey buddy. The coconut flower (or whatever it is called) that u r eating is way beyond the tender stage. You must open a very newly sprouted coconut where the leaves n roots have just begun to breakout of the coconut. That is very tender n sweet with a whole lot of flavour.
