There are such "terrible" people in China who like to eat all kinds of carefully cooked food. Their biggest wish is to eat all over the country. If possible, it would be best to eat the entire earth. And these People are like a hungry wolf meeting a little sheep when it comes to delicacies they have never eaten before, so it is a sin to say that something is too delicious. Just like crayfish, they came to China aggressively to cause trouble, but not long after , can only escape the tragic fate of extinction by relying on breeding. Today, the editor will introduce to you another food that has been eaten to the point of extinction.

This kind of food is not an animal, but a kind of fruit. The locals call it water coconut. Maybe most friends have never heard of this name. This is a kind of fruit that lives in tropical areas. It looks a little bit long. Like an enlarged pine cone, this plant is most planted in Hainan, my country. In the early days when Hainan's tourism industry was not yet developed, water coconut could just meet the daily needs of local people. However, as more and more people travel, , the number of tourists coming to Hainan is also increasing day by day, and water coconut has finally been discovered by a group of foodies.

When water coconuts were first grown, they were not used for eating. The locals didn’t know that this prickly fruit could still be eaten, so they were planted in coastal areas mainly for food. It was for flood control. Later, the water coconut fruit was not very lucky. People accidentally cut the thorns on its body with a knife. Who would have thought that this kind of fruit could be hidden so deeply. It even hid the pulp inside the thorns. I tasted a piece carefully. Eh. , tastes pretty good! Since then, water coconut has embarked on a path of no return.

The pulp of water coconut is white, a bit like silica gel. Although it is delicious to eat directly when cut into pieces, the taste is even better when processed into desserts. It has since become a very unique local snack. Everyone says that if you have not eaten water coconut in Hainan, it is white coconut. Coming. The fruit of water palm gradually became known to more and more people, and eventually the supply exceeded the demand and it became an endangered plant. It is now listed as a protected plant by the country and is prohibited from being cut down for consumption. Many foreigners showed their admiration for Chinese foodies after learning about this incident. I wonder if you have ever been to Hainan and tasted water coconut? Is it tasty?
