Green Coconut

I have met a new friend in the food category. I would like to introduce the green coconut. I have heard this fruit can be deadly, due to the potential of it falling from a great height and hitting you on the head.

We stopped by a road side food stand, and were treated to a fresh green coconut. With a large cleaver, the shop owner hacked four slices to make a window into the green coconut. The green varieties have a very thick outer fibrous layer, a thin dark brown shell layer, and inside this a soft white flesh layer. Inside the hollow of the coconut is a clear thin sweet water drink accessed by straw.

When the liquid is gone then the stand owner cleaves the coconut in half and you spoon out the soft white flesh. It has the consistency of soft tofu. The flesh is mild sweet and tasty.

Green coconut is a nice refreshment anytime, but it was especially welcome after walking in the heat of the day.

May our lives be refreshing to others with whom we connect.

Pray with is for a spark.
