Only the outer green shell has been taken off. <br /><br />Three years ago, I wrote about Ghana's foods (http://veganfootprints.blogspot.com/2008/05/what-normal-days-meals-might-be-like.html). <br /><br />The second to last picture shows someone trimming (with machete) a young coconut for us to drink out the liquid and then split it again for us to get the meat out and eat it fresh.

Good to hear from you again.
