The other day when I got home from work, there was a whole coconut picking and juicing operation underway in the garden. The coconut was delicious, though I am not a fan of the coconut water. I was also able to resolve my most pressing question about coconuts, which is: how are the big green ones that coconut water comes from related to the fuzzy brown ones that you eat? As you can see in this picture, the big green coconuts actually have the fuzzy brown coconuts inside! Still to be resolved: where does coconut milk come from?
The operation proceeded like this: This man attached a very small board to a coconut tree with rope and then climbed onto the board to cut down the coconuts.
Here are the coconuts he had cut down up to this point.
Akram, who takes care of the house, cut the tops off of the coconuts and poked a hole to get to the water, which Jahangir, our cook, poured into glasses.
And finally, here is Muzi enjoying her coconut water in the garden.
