Great Canadian Coconuts

An ever-green plant that grows in the Canadian north. The stalk is green, and leaves are long resembling those of a spider plant.

Deep below ground, the plant has a root ball that it uses to store water during the spring and summer, and uses this same water to sustain itself through the winter. The root ball consists of an outer thin skin covering a fibrous substance resembling ginger and tasting bitter. In the middle of the root is the nut that contains the fluid that is both slightly bitter and highly nutritious.

Also a story told by Canadian's for foreigners to convince them to buy things from tourist stands.
