Day 22 : Putting Things Into Perspective
Wednesdays are Coconut Oil Making days. I finally got the chance to experience the entire process, from chopping off the husk (actually I failed even though I tried about 2,000 times), to grating the coconuts, to squeezing the coconut milk, to boiling and filtering the coconut oil and finally to tasting the yummy by-product Blondo!
The whole process takes 4 to 5 hours, not to mention the time taken to harvest the coconuts, and from about 40 coconuts, we get just about 5 bottles of coconut oil.
Kind of put things into perspective.
I certainly appreciate my food even more now!
