A resealable spigot for a coconut that provides easy access by consumers to the sterile coconut water within a coconut includes a valve seat positioned within a coconut aperture and a plunger sleeve positioned within the valve seat. The plunger sleeve has a based positioned membrane that seals the coconut aperture. A plunger-stopper is tethered to the plunger sleeve for shipping and storage and is used by the consumer to pierce the plunger sleeve membrane to gain access to the coconut water. The plunger sleeve is also used to reseal the coconut aperture to preserve any remaining coconut water for future consumption. Further provided is an additional embodiment for a spigot comprising a conduit having a spike-tip on one end and a spout on the other with a through bore therebetween. The coconut having a partially inserted spigot is provided to the consumer whereby the consumer gains access to the sterile coconut water by pushing the partially inserted spigot to its seated position with a grommet provided as an insertion stop for the spigot. An optional air vent is provided to aid in fluid flow from the spigot.

The invention relates to an improvement to the method in Mexican patent No. 186456 for obtaining all the pulp from a coconut, containing water, which is subsequently vacuum packed in the form of a snowball. The pulp can be eaten immediately as a natural fresh fruit or it can be stored under suitable storage conditions for up to one year without losing the original flavour and freshness thereof. Said improvement consists in placing frozen balls of pulp in baskets so that, by means of a carrousel, they can be simultaneously passed through a dip washing system, a sprinkler cleaning system and a disinfecting system using an ultraviolet radiation germicidal unit which eliminates all types of impurities, germs and micro organisms from the product before it is vacuum packed , without altering the flavour or the freshness of the natural fruit, thereby increasing the self life of said product.

A method of peeling nuts, in particular chestnuts, comprises the step of exposing the nuts to a source of sulphur dioxide for a sufficient time to facilitate the removal of the shell and/or skin layers thereof, and thereafter removing the shell and/or skin layers from the nuts. Treatment of the nuts with a source of sulphur dioxide is also used to extend the post-harvest shelf-life of the nuts, optionally together with an anti-transferant to prevent moisture loss.

The present invention relates to easy-to-open roasted or boiled aromatic coconut comprising a coconut from which the husk was removed until a clean shelled coconut is obtained and groove Ike on the shell of the coconut characterized ¾ that said groove line is at least one converged groove line located at the bottom; of the shell of the coconut and that said groove line is made by laser engraving using a laser engraver. Easy~to~open roasted or boiled aromatic coconut further comprises an opening means fixed within one converged groove line, near the groove line. The present invention also relates to the method for producing said easy- to-open roasted or boiled aromatic coconut which allows easy consumption. The consumers can open the coconut shell by pulling the opening means such as a pull-ring. In case where at least one converged groove line is a large circle groove and a small circle groove wherein the pull-ring k fixed near the small circle groove, this allows the coconut shell within the small circle groove to be opened, revealing the coconut meat inside. Through this small hole, the consumer can insert a tube to drink the coconut juice arid when the juice is drunk up, the consumer can easily open the coconut shell further in order to eat the coconut meat by pulling the coconut shell within the large circle groove off by hand.
