  That coconut is clearly not on a palm tree, mate. /s

  To be honest, I’ve noticed that with lots of foods. I know what the thing looks like in stores, but I have no idea what it’s like in nature.

  Cashews were another recent one, where I never would have guessed what they look like:

  Yellow cashew apple hanging on a tree. It looks almost like a bell pepper. There’s a green bit at the end, which contains the cashew nut.

      I guess I assumed ‘sprout’ meant directly out of the ground instead of a “Brussels tree”.

      I don’t recognize a few of the other ones.

  If that’s not a coconut, what the fuck have I been eating?

    Go get those weird looking white ones from an Asian grocery store, they look like styrofoam cylinders with carved pointed tops. Use a butcher’s knife to chop the point off. Insert straw and long spoon to carve the natural jell-o out with. Thank me later.

      My preferred method is to use a half inch drill bit and a power drill.

  Coconuts do not have milk, either.

  Coconut milk is a processed product.

  • Rothe@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    Yeah, I know it is a joke and all, but coconuts doesn’t have hairs or contain milk, so that particular example doesn’t undermine “morphology-based phylogeny” at all.

    Processed by extracting the liquid from the pulp of the coconut…

    source

    • mrsemi@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      This is not an equivalent process to extracting juice from a fruit.

      Saying coconuts have milk is akin to saying oranges have marmalade.

        It literally is the same process. 🤦‍♂️

  On related news, the salmon fish is not salmon color… And beef comes in larger packages on nature.

    Why, sure it is! 😬

    Maybe we just disagree on what color “salmon” is, but the meat is what I would call that color. They’re like flamingos in that they take on pigment from their diet. For this reason, farmed salmon will not be “salmon” color unless their diet has been supplemented with the pigment.

  I got to travel Southeast Asia for a time, it’s atrocious how much we’re missing out on in the USA.

  Even the really fresh coconuts here just don’t compare to the ones you get fresh off a tree. It’s unreal.

    Have you tried a papaya growing off the roadside?

    I lived in the US Virgin Islands as a kid. Our back yard had a seemingly endless supply of mangoes, bananas, avocado, lime, oranges (the real stuff, not the engineered shit we eat in the mainland), grapefruit, bread fruit, acerola, plantains, and pigeon peas. It wasn’t even that big a yard. Shit just grows.

    From experience: all stages of a coconut are distinct, edible and used for different dishes, treats, condiments and ingredients.

      i think they’re only familiar with it because they don’t pay attention to their thai food. that has exploded in popularity over the last few decades and fuck yeah.

    Underripe is when it’s nice and full of water. Best when thirsty. Dry and ripe, best when hungry.
