   i LOVE macapuno. but i really doubt that the product pictured above is the real thing. they even have the picture on the label wrong! real macapuno, when cracked from the shell reveals small bits of soft coconut floating on a gooey mucus. the taste is sweet and mellow and melts in your mouth! the bottled product is usually just mature normal coconut that's been cooked and mixed with a minimum of macapuno, hence the strong coconut flavor. besides, macapuno doesn't come in uniform strips of meat as in your picture.

   and yes, AndreaFoodie, macapuno is the result of a genetic mutation common in the plant world as the phenomenon called "sport fruit."
