Today the sidewalk coconut wallah went AWOL for a few minutes. While waiting for him, I took a close look at the nearby stack of coconut boxes.
I was taken aback by what I saw.
Each coconut has 270 calories.
Two hundred seventy.
No more two-fer Tuesdays for me!
and how does one eat a tender coconut? do you just slice it up? bite into it like a giant apple?
ReplyDeleteR u unwashed Kara?
ReplyDeleteThey slice & dice the sweet & tender
coconuts for you.
Just like India.
i don't think 270 calories is a lot. you are very active-keep eating those cocos! OR just drink the water & leave the meat? they are packed with nutrition! i think the thai ones are much higher in sugar & calories than the young green ones we can't get here :-(
ReplyDeleteFirst they hack off the top, and put a straw in so you can drink the juice. Then they cut it and half, so you can scrape out the "meat."
ReplyDeleteI always checked to see if the coconut-wallah had ten intact digits. Without fail, he did.
ReplyDeleteunwashed? apparently so, since i have no idea what this means.
ReplyDeletethanks for the coconut lesson.
