Unique and very rare, this is the largest coconut fruit in the world dubbed with various names namely sea coconut, coco-de-mer, love nut, lady's butt coconut, coco fresse, double coconut and Seychelles nut. Not all regional climates can cultivate a coconut tree called Lodoicea Maldivica. Its original habitat is in the Seychelles (Seiselensa Islands State) border of the Indian Ocean with Madagascar sea.
But when we visit Pattaya tourist attractions in Bangkok Thailand, we can also taste this special head. And only Thailand has managed to cultivate lady's butt coconut, a super large coconut fruit and even a giant. The Thai people themselves only know it by the term lady's butt coconut, because its shape is very unique to resemble the shape of a woman's big butt hehehee.
The weight of the largest coconut fruit "lady's butt coconut" can exceed 20 to 42 kilograms, don't imagine if it's not sprinkled with super big butt is guaranteed dying. In addition to the pleasure to eat, this coconut fruit has long been believed to be effective in curing various diseases. It is said that its popularity as a panacea until mentioned in Indian Ayurvedic medicine to traditional Chinese medicine.
Best friends of incidenceaneh.com, do you know that the coconut tree Lodoicea maldivica only grows in only two of the 115 islands that surround the Seychelles islands, and their numbers can be counted very little on the fingers.
The height of the Lodoicea coconut tree can be quite large up to 25 to 34 meters. The leaves are giant fan shaped 7 to 10 meters long and 4.5 meters wide. Each leaf has a stem of about 4 meters. The diameter of the fruit is around 40-65 cm. And only once every two years he starts to raise new seeds of young coconut fruit. For those who may be eaten or sold for tourists, those who are mature are 6 to 7 years old.
Its age is also estimated to have reached thousands of years, and strangely there have never been new seeds or generations of their offspring elsewhere. Even though plant experts try to cultivate this rare coconut tree so that it is not extinct and can be developed for export to other countries, unfortunately their efforts always find failure.
So it's natural to buy the biggest coconut fruit, the price is quite expensive, and it can't be arbitrary to buy it even though we have a lot of money. Must first order it in advance.
That said, the existence of the maldivica Lodoicea coconut tree has something to do with the mystical story of Thai ancestors. It is said that coconut trees that are as tall as a palm tree grow by themselves without a single person planting them. Suddenly he just emerged from the sea floor.
In addition to being believed to be good for health and effective as a drug for poisoning, Thai society has always believed that anyone who accidentally finds this giant coconut fruit drifting in the middle of the sea or finding it on the beach will get hockey, luck and good luck.
Apart from the truth of the mythical stories of the Thai people, until now the Thai Government protects the preservation of these rare coconut trees, because they cannot be found in other countries and are included in the list of highly endangered flora in the world. And for culinary dishes, local or foreign tourists who want to experience the sensation of pleasure, the largest coconut fruit in the world is very limited.
The Thai government learned from the experience of the Indian country which previously also had the Lodoicea maldivica plant, which eventually due to over-exploitation of humans caused the extinction of the rare coconut tree Lodoicea.
