Copra

Comments Off on Copra Posted by on July 31, 2021

A specialized tool is used to to manually separate the copra from its shell. The meat will then be dried before extracting the coconut oil. How about the shell? It will be made into charcoal known as ‘uling bagol’.

A thick spatula-like tool is inserted between the meat and the shell.

Once inserted, the tool should be moved in a circular manner to separate the meat inch by inch.

Electric fans as space heaters are ubiquitous in Korea to combat the chill. This is something out of ordinary for someone who lives in a tropical country and uses the fan all year round to combat the tropical heat.
