The coconut is a versatile fruit enjoyed in Trinidad & Tobago. A vendor staple, the top is chopped off, and the “water” inside enjoyed straight from the shell. Splitting it, you can use piece of the shell to scoop the sweet gelatin-like jelly inside. The hardened jelly of older nuts is used to make sweet treats such as ice cream and sugar cake, or pureed to create coconut milk – a staple for oil down, curries and calalloo. Even the last bit, the husk and the shell, can be used in agriculture as potting material.
