We're already slurping hairy nuts... did it need to be call endosperm?

Honestly i think it’s the same for all fruits and nuts. As i understand, endosperm is the package of nutriens that seeds get to live off while sprouting, before they become big enough with leaves to make photosynthetis

Oh I know. Just trying to be funny. People get weird about how things are named, or even just words in general. I know a get people that hate the word 'moist'

u/Christplosion 1d ago

If you're making an educational video you might want to explain the processes like osmosis and how the endosperm are converted to creamy tissue, instead of just saying "things happen and that's how water gets in a coconut"

u/themastermatt 1d ago

I loathe Coconut and TIL what that horrible stuff actually is - dried up plant jizz that has separated in its jar to form a crust and a watery wey much like gravy will separate if left out on the counter all day. Very hard pass...
