[b]HOW WATER GET INTO A COCONUT FRUIT. All fruits posses the ability to absorb water and nutrient through their roots and looses d water through their leaves and bark which is called "EVAPO-TRANSPIRATION". Among all the drupes, coconut is the only fruit that has a very hard endocarp compare to other fruits. As all other fruits, coconut also absorb water and lose the water. Their is a term in Biology called "FLACCIDITY" :- is a situation whereby plant looses much water out than what it can absorb. But in the case of coconut, it absorb much water dan wat it can loose due 2 its "Hard_Endocarp". This process is called "TURGIDITY". At the early stage of coconut, it contains a fleshy liquid substance called "MESOCARP", and is whitish in colour. As the coconut is ripening, the fleshy liquid mesocarp, start hardening, instead of d water 2 b movin out, it forms a 'Dam' in d middle of the coconut due to its hard endocarp. The so called "Dam" is the water formed in the middle of the coconut, called Coconut water.[/b] |

Interesting. Most people don't want to believe this. They want to keep believing that water getting into a coconut is a wonder. Plus you can extract coconut water without breaking it... Basic agricultural science. |

How water got into Coconut is simple. There are three spots on the Coconut. One of the three is a hole you can penetrate with ordinary nail. Through this whole, you can access the water inside the Coconut without breaking the it. I believe water got into Coconut through this hole. |
