These are coconuts ready to sell, with different colors and different numbers. What do you think will be the taste of it?
The coconut is used as an offering to Gods in traditional Hindu Rituals. As part of the ritual, its anointed with vermillion and turmeric. The coconut is then hit on the ground to split it the water collected and the two pieces arranged next to the Gods(touches of vermillion are again applied on the spilt pieces). Some eat the fresh coconut as blessing others remove the coconut after a while and dry it in the Sun. The coconut warps as shown and is easy to remove as a whole half-coconut. It is then grated for use in cooking.
although I loaded this cake with fresh coconut, the final result didn't show it! I guess the chocolate was too dark!!
Lots of things I'm not satisfied with in this photo, but considering it's my first planned food photo shoot in a looong time (at least 9 months), I'm trying to go easy on myself. I just moved to a new apartment too and I'm still getting used to the lighting (for example, having 2 windows in this room and thus dealing with 2-directional light. This ended up harsher than I wanted but the recipe was good so I'm gonna post it!
PS - Is there any way to view photos NOT on black anymore? I haven't been active on Flickr for a long time and I really don't like the "new" GUI =(.
Recipe on my blog.
A beautiful sunset shot from my train window. Coconut tree somehow always go very well with the setting sun.

These are a delicious treat that my mom used to make at the holidays when I was growing up. She would tint the coconut red or green at Christmas.
I have won over many peple who say they don't like coconut, or dates with these!
Part of a dessert buffet I did that you can see here,
I took a stroll along here after a sunrise shoot as i've always loved this beach. There used to be a beautiful resort here with a massive Tahitian Longhouse. Now it's empty and derelict. What a shame.
While we were in Chicago, I went to the grocery store a few times. I saw lots of food items that I have not seen at home. Such as this coconut juice.
I wanted to fall in love with a palm tree, so that I could eat coconuts and have it be a part of me, but instead I fell in love with a cloud, and all I could do was watch it float away
Cracking this coconut brought back a lot of memories. Mama used to drain, crack and grate a coconut every year at Thanksgiving for a southern dish called ambrosia. For 125 in 2025 #119 - World Coconut Day.

I bravely offered to make the most fabo Gala Daling writer and blogger of Icing glittery cupcakes for her birthday as she too is from Melbourne, and deserves to be spoilt. She accepted so I arranged a safe handover place with her and completed the transaction yesterday, kids in tow. Believe me she is gorgeous - pink hair, I love NY T, tall, stunning, she stops traffic.
So I came up with light and tasty coconut cupcakes, topped with super soft marshmallow in blue, pink or purple, styled with stars or hearts and metalic sugar balls. I didn't sample these but the batter was scrummy and the marshmallow frosting is super soft and sweet but doesn't hit you straight away. So I have to wait to find out what she thought.
If you get a chance check out her site galadarling.com/ and you will be forever addicted to her outlook on life.

Coconut macaroons! Enshrouded in coconut flakes and toasted to varying degrees to suit all tastes, these treats are topped with a dollop of raspberry mousse and a glazed slice of fresh strawberry for a crown :d
Okay, back to Mimosa Market one last time. Imagine a tiny little market where you can buy three different grades of coconut. And in whatever quantity you wish.
A cell phone shot of Janice as we visited our favorite restaurant for the last time before we move on Tuesday. I think she was enjoying her coconut shrimp.
All parts of the coconut palm are useful, and the trees have a comparatively high yield (up to 75 fruits per year); it therefore has significant economic value. Uses of the various parts of the palm include:
• The white, fleshy part of the seed is edible and used fresh or dried in cooking.
• The cavity is filled with "coconut water” containing sugars, fibre, proteins, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals, which provide excellent isotonic electrolyte balance, Coconut water can be used as an intravenous fluid
• Coconut milk is made by processing grated coconut with hot water or hot milk which extracts the oil and aromatic compounds from the fibre, and should not be confused with the juice found naturally in young coconuts, called coconut water or coconut juice.
• Coconut cream is what rises to the top when coconut milk is refrigerated and left to set.
• The leftover fibre from coconut milk production is used as livestock feed.
• The sap derived from incising the flower clusters of the coconut is fermented to produce palm wine, also known as "toddy" or, in the Philippines, tuba.
• The interior of the growing tip may be harvested as heart-of-palm and is considered a rare delicacy. Harvesting this also kills the tree. Hearts of palm are often eaten in salads; such a salad is sometimes called "millionaire's salad".
• The coir (the fibre from the husk of the coconut) is used in ropes, mats, brushes, caulking boats and as stuffing fibre; it is also used extensively in horticulture for making potting compost.
• Copra is the dried meat of the seed which is the source of coconut oil
• The leaves provide materials for baskets and roofing thatch.
• The husk and shells can be used for fuel and are a good source of charcoal.
• Hawaiians hollowed the trunk to form a drum, a container, or even small canoes.
• The wood can be used for specialized construction (notably in Manila's Coconut Palace).
• The stiff leaflet midribs make cooking skewers, kindling arrows, or bound into bundles, brooms and brushes.
• The roots are used as a dye, a mouthwash, or a medicine for dysentery. A frayed-out piece of root makes a poor man's toothbrush.
• Half coconut shells are used in theatre, banged together to create the sound effect of a horse's hoofbeats.
• Dried half coconut shells are used to buff floors.
• A coconut can be hollowed out and used as a home for a rodent or small bird.
• Fresh inner coconut husk can also be rubbed on the lens of snorkling goggles to prevent fogging during use
• Dried half coconut shells are used as the bodies of musical instruments, including the Chinese yehu and banhu, and the Vietnamese đàn gáo.
• Coconut is also commonly used as a herbal remedy in Pakistan to treat bites from rats.
