Right on!

It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!

Young Coconuts are valued for having more liquid and softer Meat in them. A Coconut must be fully mature and gray in the husk or brown already husked for it to sprout succussfully. Take a look at the videos I am uploading now. They should be visible soon on My Page.

I'd like to introduce the Coconut Sprout. The best tasting sprout
I've come across so far. Coconuts will sprout after reaching maturity
on a tree, falling to the ground, and given enough water and time to
sprout. Coconuts will take 3-6 months to sprout versus 3-6 days like
other sprouts. I keep mature Coconuts outside in the shade with
enough rain for them to sprout. I usually have 20-50 in the process
of sprouting. Once a week I will check on them by picking them up to
see if they are ready to eat. A Coconut must have fluid in it for it
to sprout. I go through each one, picking it up and gently shaking it
to listen for water. If a (mature) Coconut makes no sound, this means
it is totally dried up inside and either has or does not have a
sprout or it went rotten possibly from being picked or falling
prematurely. A Coconut sprout should feel heavier. Next remove the
husk with a pick axe or ask someone else to. You should notice that
there is a growth coming out of the mouth of the Coconut. Next
carefully crack the Coconut in half using the flat edge of the pick
axe. Throwing on the ground might make it break open and get dirt on
the oily, juicy sprout. Use a spoon to scoop out the growth on the
inside of the Coconut. It has a sweet or sweet and salty taste and is
soft and foamy. Coconut Sprouts contain fats, oils and sugars while
others have mostly proteins. Eat plain or with Almonds or Pistachios.
A Coconut to remember.

I was watching a video on Coconuts and it mentioned the Sprout of
the Coconut.

There were a few misconceptions there.

Let me clear this up since I started opening coconuts at a very
young age. My grandmother used to make Coconut Milk from the
Coconuts that grew on our trees. We would collect them when they
fell from the trees and placed them under the Hau tree.
Unfortunately, she didn't want to open them because her arthitis
would cause her a lot of pain. She taught all her grandchildren to
open the Coconuts using a spike that was in the ground as long as I
can remember.

After the Coconuts were all husked, we would then have to drain
the liquid out, if there was any, and sometimes we would find the
Sprouts about the size of a pea. If we could find a few of them, it
would be enough for a mouthful or two. Even as children we would
love them so much it is indescribable.

One of my first experiments, which began about five years ago, was
to sprout the Coconuts to the point where the Sprouts would be big
enough to be a satisfying dessert. I knew that the Sprouts start to
grow inside the Coconut behind the area on the outside of the mature
Coconut known as the face. I started saving the mature Coconuts that
I husked to get the juice from that had already started sprouting. I
proped them up indoors on plastic containers. They looked like
little Tikis with their faces looking at you and their leaf and root
growths emerging from their mouths.

Later, when I would check them, they seemed to dry up. The
sprouts were about the size of a plum. I would then crack them open
and eat the Sprouts for a dessert. Eventually I realized that after
they dried up to the point that the fluids inside the Coconut were
gone that the Sprout was no able to grow any more.

Next I tried leaving the Sprouts in plastic buckets with enough
water to immerse the bottom half of the Sprout. That seemed to work
well.

One day I thought that maybe the Sprout is absorbing some of the
plastic either directly or from the water that had leached the plastic
into it.

One thing I realized is that usually the Sprout will get damaged
when husking the Coconut. Another is that the mature Coconuts don't
yield as much liquid. Sometimes it would take nine Coconuts to make
one drink. Usually just two or three. A young Coconut should yield
about sixteen ounce of fluid. Sometimes more or less depending on
the size of the Coconut. Sixteen ounces is the perfect size for me
to drink on an empty stomach. Perfect design indeed!

This is the latest technique I have found for sprouting the
Coconuts and I still use this technique today. Since the mature
Coconuts yield less fluid than a young Coconut that also has softer,
more digestible "spoon meat", and I value the mature Coconut for
their sprout, I reserve all mature Coconuts for sprouting. Coconuts
sprout best when I keep them outside where they can get lots of fresh
air in places that get rained on. This would be around a perimeter,
or under bushes or trees. They don't require as much water as other
sprouts, but should be watered during a drought.

The Sprout grows inside the Coconut, drinks the fluid, fills the
entire space, and eventually starts to eat the Coconut meat, or so it
seems. The sprout seems to originate from a chackra-like point in
the middle of the Coconut flesh directly behind the area on the face
of the mature Coconut known as the mouth. The mouth is easier to
bore through than the eyes. The growth of the sprout is like a
balloon expanding in the Coconut from the chackra point.

A mature Coconut needs to contain fluid in it for it to sprout.
If you pick one up and shake it gently, you can hear the fluid
splashing around in it. Check your collection every week or so for
Coconuts that make no sound when shaken gently and are heavier. This
would indicate that the Coconut is rotten, that it started sprouting
but dried up, or that you have successfully sprouted a Coconut to the
point that the Coconut Sprout has filled the entire womb.

Coconut Sprouts can also be found in the wild in some areas. Most
likely you will come across a Coconut that has sprouted for too long
and has started to eat the meat. It is still tasty, just a little
more fibrous. The most delightful ones are still in their younger
stages and soft to the touch.

Use the flat end of a pickaxe to husk the Coconut. Then hit the
Coconut against that flat edge to crack it open gradually. Throwing
it on the ground can break it open and get dirt all over this
delicate, oily, juicy Sprout. If you have trouble ask a friend or
neighbor to help.

A Coconut Sprout that has filled the womb of the Coconut should be
about the size of a grapefruit. Odd shaped Coconut yield odd shaped
Sprouts though.

I can't get enough of them. Coconuts and their Sprouts play a
tremendous role in the living foods movement. A Coconut has fluid
that compares to a juice and then some. Young Coconut Meat can be
fermented for truly an incredible delight. Coconuts can be sprouted
to make a remarkable delicacy. Coconut Sprouts can even be juiced
for a potent sweet treat. The only drawback is that Coconut Sprouts
are not a Green Sprout and contain less chlorophyl than Green
Sprouts, if any at all.

Sometimes the cream inside the womb is even better than the Sprout!

Coconuts are needed everywhere they are not already growing. I
want to plant hundreds or even thousands of Coconut Trees.
I just have trouble stopping myself from eating all the Sprouts and actually planting some.

Well, when I tried to do the short fast, I totally lost raw altogether! It was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back, I suppose. I am going step by step now working toward high raw. I really want to juice feast, but I have to be able to ignore my daughter's french fries, or walk out of the video store without an ice cream. *sigh* Such is the battle raging on, though today was a pretty good day. Between work and home seems to be my biggest problem. I have been honesty blogging on my page for the last coupla days and will keep it up until I am completely successful.
So what are you doing these days?

Did you blog about your 3 week juice journey? How did you feel? Was it beneficial to you? Did it get easier as you went along?
Pack me in your suitcase please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No juice feast yet, Julie. I am just getting back around to getting serious about getting back to high raw. LOL. I just began blogging about my journey tonight. When I tried to juice feast, it was too much and lots of other stuff happened and came to the surface. *sigh Tomorrow's the first day of the rest of my life...

So how are things with you? Did you stick with the juice feast? Aren't you about to go to Cali? I am SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO jealous! :) In a good way, of course...
