Just to clarify, the (usually) clear liquid in a coconut is generally

called coconut " water " . Some may call it juice. Coconut " milk " is

actually the resulting liquid of blending the mature coconut " meat "

and the water, then juicing it, removing the fibrous material. The

milk is an amazing rich milky liquid, quite different from coconut

water.

 

The young coconut meat can be used for puddings and sauces. It also

makes a great snack on its own (though Doug may not approve of the

higher fat content!)
