Water coconut is a substitute, and its appearance is completely different from that of ordinary coconut.
Common coconut grows in the crown of the tree, and water coconut grows in the water, with rough and angular shape. The shape of water coconut is a bit like the ancient weapon meteor hammer, which is completely different from our common coconut. Water coconut is very common in tropical areas such as Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. It can be eaten abroad, but it is only distributed in Hainan Island in China. Because it is rare, it can protect soil and water from erosion and has a great effect, so the state lists it as a protected plant and prohibits picking. If you want to eat coconut, you can only eat it abroad.
Coconut pulp is crystal clear, like natural pudding, with a lot of juice, smooth entrance, sweet taste, elastic chewing, and can be eaten raw or made into dessert. In Malaysia, local villagers shaved ice with coconut meat and milk to make a cool and delicious dessert. Drinking a cup of this dessert in summer is not too cold. Like Thailand and Vietnam, they are located in the tropics and have hot climates. Coconut meat in ice water is a delicious cold drink to relieve summer heat, which is very comfortable to drink.

The water coconut pulp is wrapped in a hard shell. If you want to eat the pulp inside, you need to cut it one by one. Water coconut shell is very big, and the actual pulp is very small, so it is particularly precious. Even in the country of origin, it is rare. Although the price is not high, you must try this kind of food when you travel to the local area.
