Chris ____ " What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature. Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the truth, and for those who do them wrong.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 [Jafa] Where do you get young coconuts. Even the health food stores around here don't carry them. [MAP] I get them from Vietnamese or Chinese grocers. I'm surprised anyone would even look in a " health food store " for healthy food! I try to avoid such establishments at all costs! Then again, if coconuts continue their ascendancy in the alternative health world, it may become feasible for pill and soy, uh, sorry, I mean health food stores to start offering them. Or perhaps you could singlehandedly convert a dozen or so locals, including store employees, to the way of the coconut, and implement a niche market for a local health food store. Probably wouldn't be very hard. They taste good. Mike SE Pennsylvania The best way to predict the future is to invent it. --Alan Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When used in cooking, the " mature " coconut is used. Even today if you walk along the shores of Bombay, you will find hundreds of street vendors selling " young " coconuts. They will crack open a coconut for you and give you the milk. It makes a great, refreshing drink on a hot humid summer day when the mercury is pushing 45*C and 90% RH. -Pratick __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
