CRACKING COCONUTS in Hawaii

Before I visited Maui a couple of months ago, my experience with coconuts was limited to the canned coconut milk in my pantry. But here I am on Maui at a place called Coconut Information, staring up at towering palm trees and preparing for an immersion course on this mysterious fruit.

If you aren't impressed by coconuts before you arrive, you will be when you leave. A single coconut palm can produce fruit for as long as 80 years!
