Hey my Steemit fellows!
today, I prepared a little guide/story about something that is very rare in Europe (where I come from) but very abundant in Mexico (where I am living now).
Yes, it is the coconut!
Let me first show you a shot of this amazing fruit in its most natural position, which is hanging on the palm tree :)
Despite the huge size and sturdiness of the coconut, it is actually quite easy to pick it. A little twist usually helps.
Once you get your coco home, you can embark on the hardest part of the job - getting to the good stuff inside :) While it takes just a few seconds with a machete, it can be a pretty lengthy and exhaustive process if you only have a knife.

...you can have the job done this way too.
You will be rewarded with a great deal of coconut meat and up to a half a liter (19 oz) of coconut water.
Both are delicious, refreshing and super healthy! :)
