Whilst out food shopping with mummy, I spotted a strange looking hard hairy football. It turns out it wasn’t a hairy football, but was actually something called a coconut.

Things learnt:

• Coconuts have 3 eyes and this is the best place to pierce them to extract the coconut milk.
• Coconut milk is yucky
• The shells are really hard and I had to whack the coconut lots of times with the mallet to break the shell.
• A mallet is similar to a hammer
• The coconut flesh is also hard and the outer layer needs to be peeled before you can grate it
• Grated coconut makes macaroons and I don’t like them either.
• Coconuts grow on coconut palm trees in hot places like India, Indonesia, Philipines and Brazil.
