My Jamaican self spent the entire video shouting “You need a machete!” 😂 🇯🇲🥥

[@PrincessBlumie]

Miami FL here- I was thinking the same thing! Machete and I like doing the top with a clean drill bit

[@danielchilson6972]

Or a cane knife...

[@guillermoroque9524]

Same! I'm from Mexico and we use machetes too. 🥥🏝️

[@nikkimarie6916]

Right, I was like you need a machete for that jelly water 🇯🇲

[@evan_ramlie99]

My dad uses a machete too and I'm from Indonesia. But at least Emmy was using cleavers, not a kitchen knife

[@Debora_9x]

I've recently discovered that there are old species of fruits (like old varieties of apples, plums, etc) that are being reintroduced and brought back to consumers at least in Italy/Europe; I wonder if there might be something similar in USA, that could be a cool episode for fruity fruits! P.s. Have you ever tried mulberry?

[@imirrawashere]

She probably has. Mulberry trees are extremely common and grow wild in the US. :)

[@melhawk6284]

There are! At least 1 anyway. The Lost Apple Project! I want to try an Arkansas Black apple, very badly! They are literally a red so dark it is nearly black, and supposedly sugar sweet and keep for a hot minute in winter.

[@alphabetsoup6681]

@@melhawk6284 I have seen the apples in Harris Teeter. They are seasonal of course and I don’t remember exactly when I saw them.

[@melhawk6284]

@Alphabet Soup truly?! I believe I must needs look up that establishment!

[@alphabetsoup6681]

@@melhawk6284 the kids were doing a science class experiment and needed different kinds of apples. They liked the Jazz apples because they tasted like apple candy.

My mother in law still makes her own coconut milk for her curries, like she did growing up in Malaysia. She won’t use canned coconut milk. Fortunately, she has two sons who are willing to help scrape coconuts for the payoff of her homemade curry 😂

[@MaxOakland]

Does homemade taste different?

[@jahbern]

@@MaxOakland yes. It’s very much based on what you are used to - I don’t consume much coconut milk, so it doesn’t really matter to me whether it’s fresh or canned. It’s kind of like Mac and cheese for me, to use the whitest possible analogy. You can tell the difference between Kraft and homemade, but people who have only eaten Kraft don’t know what they don’t know. And some even prefer Kraft because it’s what they are used to 😂

[@TheRealHappyG]

I grew up in the tropics, and usually, we just handled opening a coconut with a machete and a dog who loved ripping off the husks 😂

[@CuttoothsRoom]

Ahhh the memories. Growing up we had a couple coconut trees in the backyard so I grew up eating green coconut. Here (Hawaii) the soft meat was referred to as "spoon meat". I remember my dad scooping out a bunch of meat and blending it up with the coconut water then passing it thru cheesecloth to make coconut milk. He'd always use that to make haupia or add it to squid luau. Thanks for the memories!

[@deannearmaya8090]

I was thinking that the yellow one tasted different because it was just a little bit older. Is this correct? Or do different varieties taste different. I spent a few years in the south pacific Islands and don't think I ever tasted 2 young coconuts that tasted exactly the same. I always put it down to age not variety. But I'm sure you have a lot of varieties in Hawaii, so you may know the answer to this question.

[@shoebaglady8374]

I’ve been watching you longer than I like to admit. Your recipe for congee is still one I use to this day! You seem to not have aged at all! I love your fruity fruit series! (…..and who can forget Winston!) ❤

[@user-tr7pk7db8q]

Emmy with two gigantic clevers, that could be a killer game character

[@ITIsFunnyDamnIT]

This brings back memories of my childhood growing up in Miami. Coconut trees grew everywhere down there. As a child I would always get a coconut and a hammer and screw driver to pop a hole in it and drink the coconut juice.

[@vannessamarie]

That seems like a great idea! Screwdriver and hammer!

[@troyramadin5772]

I love fresh coconut! Even though I’m from Brooklyn, New York, I grew up having these a lot in the neighborhood of Crown Heights. The jelly part is so yummy! And yes the coconut vendors do have forearms of steel, they also use machetes (otherwise known as a cutlass) to cut open the coconuts.

[@kyokoyumi]

A machete is not a cutlass.

[@troyramadin5772]

@@kyokoyumi please do your research. In the Caribbean they use the word “cutlass” for the word “Machete.”

[@tomawen5916]

Glad you came out of this with all your fingers intact! I have seen those coconut chopping videos and those guys just whack whack whack with those machetes!

[@Gorgeouss_Court]

[@Gnif572]

Thank you so much for being so wholesome. When I can't feel anything else but despair, I know if I can watch one of your videos that it will soften it at least a little

[@emzadia]

Yes, I'm always jazzed when I see a fruity fruits video in my feed!! 👌

[@thepaperwar00]

I find it much easier to open with the heel of the cleaver, because it’s more of a hacking motion, rather than a slicing or chopping motion.

[@ApotheosisDivine69]

Lovely video, Emmy!! Great anatomy lesson also 👌

[@rebeccaavega2298]

I have a fruity fruit I can almost guarantee you have never heard of. They are called Salmon Berries. The shape is similar to a raspberry but with a flavor that I can not adequately describe. Absolutely delicious and unique. It’s a treasured treat by those of us who know about it.

People who have played Super Mario Sunshine may also be familiar with the green coconut 😊 (Thanks for fantastic explanation and another fun video as always Emmy)

[@debgeisler4568]

Yay, fruity fruits! This was fascinating. It would be cool to see the mature, brown ones, too, and to get a sense of how much liquid is in each type by measuring the difference. But thank you very much for piquing my curiosity about one of my favorite fruits!

[@kareny5438]

There's very little to almost no liquid in the brown ones. The liquid is tasteless at that point. The delicious jelly part turns into the hard oily coconut meat you see in stores as shredded coconut.

[@debgeisler4568]

@@kareny5438 We used to get the brown ones at the grocery store when I was a kid. My Dad was fond of fresh coconut from his time in the navy, so he’d get cravings. (They showed up rarely in a small town grocery store in Ohio in the 1960s.) He always got the liquid out by hammering a Phillips-head screwdriver into two of the three “dots”…then pour the liquid from one while the other let air in…then crack the nut for the meat. Some of the meat would go into savory dishes (esp. with pork or shrimp), and some would get shredded, mixed by Mom with melted chocolate, and turned into OMG haystack candies. I remember the liquid as more flavorful than the stuff we can buy now in cartons - and which comes out of the green coconuts. It is fine - and great for hydrating - but different from the older liquid..in my memory, anyhow. (Mostly, I’m just curious what the liquid losses and changes are. Science!)

Love to see fruity fruit videos. Get to learn how to eat things I don’t know how or what part or learn of fruits I’ve never heard of or seen.

[@nisargthakur]

My parents have a couple coconut trees. We generally let the fruit fully dry before we open it. They are a bit of a pain to open lol when dry. Generally we buy cut fresh coconuts from the street venders and drink then water using a straw. It’s just so much better than packaged stuff.

[@maetaylor5677]

Coconuts are incredible my fav fruit/nut.. Interesting enough the bladder in our bodies holds about 2 cups of liquid. 2 cups is about how much water is in a young coconut. Coconut is clearly gods design of the ultimate Gatorade electrolyte drink!! So So amazing I think!!! And theres so much else you can do with the meat shell etc..

[@bethenecampbell6463]

One of my earliest memories is of the young men ofthe Philipino national guard climbing the coconut palm in our backyard to get some coconuts down for us. They whacked a cross into one end of the coconut and then used a stake with a large nail in it to pry the shell apart. It seemed like everyone had a machete close to hand as they used them for everything.

[@sarairamirez49]

Emmymade are my comfort videos

[@simlover00]

I've always eaten coconut that was hard and ready to eat but once my mom bought one that was slightly younger than usual. The flesh was just a little softer and tasted so much better 😊
