Then I can calculate how much seasonings I have to add. Quote: Originally Posted by WANHU Lonely, it also depends on cooking.

When I bought one young coconut in Dongmen, SZ, after drinking the juice, I asked the seller to cut the coconut and scooped the young flesh with a spoon. The seller looked surprised. Wan

Last year, I saw many coconuts when I was touring at the Xian Horticulture Exposition. They were small and I am afraid that they didn't taste as well as those in the tropical areas because they weren't fresh.
