I've been getting a good amount of feedback about my decision to leave behind thai coconuts.
Id like to provide some alternatives for smoothies, some that I think are actually much more beneficial and actually more affordable.
I would suggest a nut or seed milk (Macadamia or Hempseed or Pumpkinseed) and raw honey.
These can be priced around $12-15 a pound for the first two (BUY IN BULK ONLINE)
and the pumpkinseeds are way cheaper as most of us know.
Anything more than $4 a pound and I would say you are paying WAY too much.
Add as much water as you need, and throw in coconut oil if you want to include the
essence and beneficial properties of coconuts.
You only need one ounce of seeds or nuts and 8oz of water, and youre set. Breaking down the price it is definitely not higher than $1 a serving. Compare that to $1.50-4 for a coconut.
Most Thai coconuts that you are finding in the US are:
1. shipped across the globe (think of the magic and vitality that fades away after all that time)
2. they are dipped in fungicides, and I would think that anyone reading this is on a mental level where they would consciously avoid all "cides" if you know what I mean.
3. and they are then irradiated to prevent more fungus upon entry into the US.
Im surprised that I didnt come to this conclusion MUCH earlier.
Luckily we can order high quality pure coconut oil, but I would usually save
the coconut water for when you CHOOSE to travel.
You wouldnt want to eat tomatoes in December if they tasted like cardboard, right?
Create a budget so you WILL have enough funds to travel to a great
fresh/exotic fruit) producing country in the tropics.
Look for deals, travel in the slower and cheaper seasons...
Whatever it takes. You can do it.
No Life Force, Fungicide, and Radiation. Come on!
Now...
Rambutan...this is my good friend coconut.
Oh Rambutan...you are just so fresh..behave yourself!
I guess some things you just cant fight. Who wants bubble teas when you can have THIS?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Im going back in late October I think.
