How Banabans Traditionally Harvest Coconuts

 

 

With a world filled with modern technology it is refreshing to see traditional skills that are still used at village level today.

These traditions have been passed down over the centuries and utilise a stick and stone to dehusk and open coconuts.
This video also shows how fresh coconut water is harvested from green coconuts, while our Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is harvested from full matured ripen coconuts

that have absorbed all the juice into the flesh.  You will see how soft, opaque and thin the coconut flesh is while the coconuts are still green and not yet fully ripened.
