welcome to this special Premiere from Lord Gizmo today we'll unveil the ancient Artistry and modern techniques that come together to bring forth one of the most versatile and cherished Gifts of nature the coconut join us as we delve into the intricate steps that transform these humble fruits into a source of nourishment hydration and countless products that enrich our lives let's embark on a journey to the heart of lush tropical Landscapes where the rhythmic swaying of palm trees and the gentle rustle of leaves create a symphony of Nature's Beauty although we have machines for every task
many coconut producers and Harvesters use old conventional climbing methods owing to their proven Effectiveness and economic benefits some workers tie rope around the thick tree trunk While others make small cuts to climb over the traditional way to collect and harvest coconuts is to poke them with a nail on a stick and put them in the back basket they use a combination of machetes and dehusking devices to remove the fibrous husk from coconuts the process of coconut harvesting requires meticulous scheduling to achieve ideal maturity it maintains the desirable taste and nutritional [Music] [Music] attributes coconuts are
primarily grown in tropical locations such as Indonesia the Philippines India and Sri Lanka the growth of coconut trees thrives in these nations due to their favorable circumstances with Indonesia emerging as the primary producer because these are predominantly coastal regions Maritime transportation is a prevalent and practical mode of transport only Indonesia transports millions of coconuts through water channels some factories have a special port to collect coconuts directly from the boats the process of selecting coconuts involves careful consideration of factors such as size weight and fresh fish to achieve the highest level of quality for further [Music]
processing first the rigid outer shell is separated from the inner kernel to obtain the inner white meat of the coconut for different products modern Factory T's provide delling machines to their workers while traditionally this work is done by hand they use some specific knives for peeling the Coconuts older methods are often employed in traditional coconut producing localities namely within rural sections of Southeast Asia as well as specific parts of Africa and the [Music] Caribbean [Music] next the coconut meat is finally grated and completely dried to make coconut oil the drying process decreases the moisture content
and the resultant product contains a significant amount of oil up to 70% of its weight coconuts possess the highest oil content among all oil seeds the dried coconut is subsequently pressed to the extract the oil which then goes through a filtration process to eliminate any impurities the oil that's been extracted is then subjected to a settling process to separate any remaining solids if desired the oil can be further refined to remove any additional impurities and unwanted flavors coconut oil is not only utilized for culinary purposes but it also boasts a plethora of applications in the
Realms of skincare and hair care and even serves as a natural substitute for traditional household cleaning products coconut milk is made by soaking shredded coconut and boiling water and then straining off the solid pulp the levels of fat and oil in the end product can be controlled by modifying the quantity of water added to the flakes throughout the extraction [Music] process [Music] [Music] [Music] the production of coconut powder involves the process of grading or shredding fresh coconuts to extract the meat the coconut meat is then dried using various techniques for instance its exposure to sunlight
dries it some use a specialized device known as a food [Music] dehydrator [Music] [Music] after the dehydration phase the coconut meat undergoes a thorough grinding procedure using a food processor resulting in a finely powdered substance coconut powder exhibits versatility in its use within the culinary domain finding utility in a range of gomic Endeavors such as culinary preparations and smoothie making in addition to the Coconuts white flesh the outermost layer of hairy fibrous material known as cure is also used for making various products such as ropes and mats stripping shredding and screening are just a few
of the numerous processes used to extract cure after obtaining cure it's discarded using a cting machine then various spinning wheels and tools turn it into yarn expert workers weave the produced yarn to make various patterns sizes and shapes of mats they use a technique device known as a loom it functions as a frame to hold the we threads making matte wavering easy core is a waste product of not as ecologically benign and reusable it presents no biohazard or disposable [Music] [Music] concerns similar to Coconut cure the leftover husk chips are not discarded as waste instead
husk chips are reduced to powder size by chopping grinding and crushing after that they add significant water to make it a fluffy solution and leave it to dry for days the dried material is called cocoa Pete after blending cocoa Pete and husk chips in the required proportion the result material is compressed to transform the mixed material into cocoa Pete blocks these Peete blocks provide higher air priority for plants and help them grow [Music] faster [Music] besides blocks cocoa Pete can be transformed into various shapes such as rectangular bricks round pallets and long slabs cocoa Pete
grow slabs are quite popular among tomato cucumber pepper herb and cannabis Growers multiple tests are conducted during the production of these slabs to ensure they possess the appropriate bulk density por and water holding capacity and expansion volume the grow slabs come wrapped in a plastic or biodegradable film that protects it from moisture loss and fungal growth these are shipped to The Growers who rehydrate them with water before use the grow slabs are suitable for cultivating on tabletops and glass houses hydroponic green houses and poly tunnel growing systems [Music] we hope you had a great time
