How Does the Water Get Inside a Coconut? 🥥 | Tutki Asks Why

A grown-up opens a green coconut… and out pours a whole glass of water! 🥥 But a coconut is closed up tight, so how did the water get in? Tutki the octopus finds out, asks what all that water is for, and what happens to it as a coconut gets older. Shout your guess at every countdown, and stay for the fun facts! ▶ Try it yourself, free: https://nowiseewhy.com/plant-food?fro... An interactive 3D lesson for ages 5–11, with a Grown-ups level too.

The palm tree drinks water from the ground with its roots and sends it up its tall trunk into the coconuts: it isn’t rain at all. A coconut is really a giant seed, and its water is a packed lunch for the tiny baby palm inside. As the coconut gets older, the water turns into soft jelly and then crunchy white coconut meat, so old brown coconuts hold much less water. Coconut milk is made by squeezing the grated white meat. Try it with a grown-up: stand a leafy stick of celery in coloured water and watch the leaves change colour as the water climbs up. Only a grown-up opens a coconut, and never sit under a coconut palm!
