The dried coconut
Our dried coconuts are freshly harvested and dried on large palm plantations. For this purpose they are heated in an oven at 80°C for several hours until the liquid inside has evaporated.
Due to the loss of liquid during the drying process, the coconuts are much lighter than fresh fruit and also slightly smaller than it, the outer skin becomes brown, leathery and very firm through this process.
(Fortunately, in our latitudes, the brown colour is more in keeping with the idea of a coconut than the fresh, grass-green fruits would be in their original state).
The dried coconuts have an unlimited shelf life, but like any natural product they should be protected from moisture.
The nuts are complete fruits, i.e. including the pulp (mesocarp) and the rock-hard kernel (endocarp).
They have a diameter of about 10cm and a length of about 10-15cm.
Each nut has been drilled out at the germination hole to let out the milk it contains. This hole can be used to screw in a hook, for example, so that a single nut or several cosco nuts can be hung up as decoration.
ATTENTION! We sell these coconuts exclusively for decoration purposes, they are in no way suitable for consumption, not even partially.
The nuts may still contain residual milk (coconut water). This remaining milk and the innermost flesh is no longer suitable for consumption!
And who does not know the old children's song?
Who stole the coconut
The monkeys race through the forest,
the one makes the other one cold.
The whole gang of monkeys roars:
Where is the coconut,
where is the coconut,
who stole the coconut?
Where is the coconut,
where is the coconut,
who stole the coconut?
