Have you ever eaten Coconut Embryo ?   Perhaps called “Coconut Apple“

Sprouted coconuts or coconut sprouts are the edible spherical sponge-like cotyledons of germinating coconuts. They have a crunchy watery texture with a slight sweetness. They are eaten in coconut-growing countries either as is or as part of various dishes. They are not commercially produced. They are also known variously as coconut pearl, coconut “embryo“, coconut apple, or coconut cotyledon Indeed, the coconut “embryo” is edible. The more scientific/botanical term is cotyledon, and in case of the coconut plant, it is a monocotyledon. It’s the part of the actual seed that when planted, will grow into a new coconut plant/tree. Another term for this is “the apple” of the coconut. Have you ever eaten Coconut Embryo ?   Perhaps called “Coconut Apple“ #CoconutEmbryo #CoconutApple
